can you do this equation?
2√3 ÷ √2
i dont think you can,,,?
thanks

 

[suzlee]

It's not an equation since it doesn't equal to anything..

 

[TearsOfFire]

You can rationalise it. which becomes 2√6/2 = √6

lol I'm not any help here to OP but
root6 is not rationalised. The expression was simplified but the number is still irrational.

how do you do the sqroot sign btw?

 

[xXmuffin0manXx]

the question is probably to simplify and not to equate...


in whch case tears is correct

 

[aimhigh10]

2√3 ÷ √2
rationalise the denominator:
2√3 x √2
2

2√6
2

(the twos cancel)

answer = √6

 

[suzlee]

rationalising the denominator.. right =o

someone tell me how to make maths symbols on this forum T.T

 

[kaha167]
