How do you solve 3 divided by the square root of 5 plus 2?

Answer 1

What do you want to solve for?

3 /sqrt( 5 ) + 2 is has no unknowns.

3 remainder 2. Explanation: 3 goes into 5 once. That means the answer is 1 remainder 2. Then add two and you get 3. The answer is 3 remainder 2. Check: You have 1 remainder 2. Add two. You get three. Add the remainders. You get 5. So then you did the answer, the explanation, and you checked. -_- :D

According to standard mathematical notation the function sqrt(5) is the first term that must be evaluated. Note that "three goes into 5 once" is thus incorrect; this statement is not supported by any mathematical theorem. The correct answer (to five decimal places, assuming that 2 is really 2.0000 and 3 is 3.0000) is:

3.0000 / sqrt(5) + 2.0000

= 3.0000 / 2.2361 + 2.0000

= 1.3416 + 2.0000

= 3.3416
