What is the simplest form of the quotient 4 sqrt 810 / 4 sqrt 2?
Solution:
Given 4 sqrt 810 / 4 sqrt 2
It means 4(√810) / 4(√2)
This is a problem of surds
Surd is simply used to refer to a number that does not have a root.
The number 4 gets cancelled.
√810 can be written as √(81*10)= 9√10
Now, 9√10 / √2
Again √10 can be written as √2*5
We know that √ab = √a*√b
So, √10 = √2*√5
Hence 9√10 / √2 = 9 √2*√5 / √2
√2 will be cancelled.
Therefore, the result is 9√5.
What is the simplest form of the quotient 4 sqrt 810 / 4 sqrt 2?
Summary:
The simplest form of the quotient 4 sqrt 810 / 4 sqrt 2 is 9√5.
