One of the things we learned this week in Precalc 11 is Dividing Radicals. Basically dividing a radical by a radical, the main goal is to turn the denomination into a rational number.
Ex.
This one is actually pretty easy, you can just divide 10 by 5 so the answer would be
In the case of you can’t divide 20 by 3
we can multiply it by so the denominator is a perfect square.
x
then we can simply it to
For binomial radicals in the denominator, we have to use conjugates (a+b)(a-b) to square a and b term.
Ex.
we have to use the conjugates of which is
=x
=
=
=
