How do you rationale the denominator?
Depends on the situation. You usually have to multiply numerator and denominator by some number or expression. Examples: 1 / square root of 2 Here, you have to multiply numerator and denominator by the square root of 2. 1 / (square root of 2 + square root of 3) Here, you have to multiply numerator and denominator by (square root of 2 - square root of 3).
Is the square root of a fraction a rational number?
Only if the square root of the numerator and the square root of the denominator are both rational numbers.
Does The property of radicals for quotients states that the square root of a fraction is the square root of the denominator over the square root of the numerator?
its false apex :)
A method used to eliminate radicals from the denominator of a fraction?
That is called "rationalizing the denominator". It consists of multiplying the numerator and the denominator by specific terms, which include square roots. Examples:* If the denominator is root(2) (that is, the square root of 2), multiply numerator and denominator by root(2). * If the denominator is root(2) + root(3), multiply numerator and denominator by root(2) - root(3).
Rationalize 5 over square root of 6?
The idea is to get rid of the square root in the denominator. For this purpose, you must multiply numerator and denominator by the square root of 6 in this case.
