Question 536205: Okay, this is killing me and I can't figure it out due to the variables, they are throwing me off.
(4) sqrt 2x / (4) sqrt 125y^11
I don't know if this makes sense to you, but I need to rationalize the denominator and simplify. Help me please.

You problem statement is not clear. To format the equation, you need to put three opening braces in front and three closing braces in back. To get the "sqrt" function to work, you have to put whatever is under the radical inside parentheses.
.
+%284%29+sqrt+2x+%2F+%284%29+sqrt+125y%5E11+
.
I think you may mean:
.
%0D%0A%284%2Asqrt%282x%29%29+%2F+%284%2Asqrt%28125%2Ay%5E11%29%29%0D%0A
.
The 4's cancel.
.
+sqrt%28125%2Ay%5E11%29+=+sqrt%285%2A25%2Ay%5E10%2Ay%29+=+5y%5E5%2Asqrt%285y%29+
.
