    Hi
    Shalom from Israel, next to Jersalem
    For this problem. Just use the mutiplication by 1 on the dinominator
    So I started with the denominator.
    The denominator is square root of 10.
    So sqre root of 10 .times sqre root of 10 is 10.
    Now all I did is multiply the numerator by 10.
    3.10 = 30

    If you are going to keep harping on guessing on multiple choice questions then:
    1: make your multiple choices more consistent with what multiple question tests offer, namely two very realistic choices, one clearly wrong, and one in between.
    2: give proper strategies for guessing. For example, in this problem,. “A” is clearly wrong because you can compare that answer to sqr 1. Sqr 30 is clearly wrong because sqr 25 equals 5, which is MUCH higher than 3/10. That leaves 10/sqr3 (which is ALSO greater than 1, not to mention improper notation) and the correct answer. So process of elimination LEADS the test taker to the correct answer.

    d. Rationalize the denominator.

  • @aek03030731
    @aek03030731 3 месяца назад

    Once you know the rules and how they work, the simplest algorithm is to multiply the numerator by the denominator (ex: 3x10=30) and take the denominator out from under the radical. So, √(2/7) =√(2x7)/7, or. √14/7.
    But suppose the denominator is an irrational such as π or e. How would one rationalize that? 1/π=π/π², but that just makes things more obscure.

    • @gavindeane3670
      @gavindeane3670 2 месяца назад

      The objective here is to find which of the four answer options is equivalent to the original expression.
      If you're given a starting expression, and four options that it could be equivalent to, then you just have to work out which of the options is equivalent. That's no different if the original expression happens to have π or e in it.

  • @evanj3535
    @evanj3535 4 месяца назад +1

    If you take the square root of a number between 0 and 1, it will be a number between 0 and 1 that is greater than the original. B and C are greater than 1, so they are wrong. A would be true if 3/10 was equal to its square root, but only 0 and 1 are equal to their square root.

  • @juergenilse3259
    @juergenilse3259 4 месяца назад

    The result ist sqrt(3)/sqrt(10(, which is the same as sqrt(30)/10., so d) is the correct answer:
    sqrt(3/10)=
    sqrt(3)/sqrt(10)=
    (sqrt(3)*sqrt(10)/(sqrt(10)*sqrt(10))=
    (sqrt(3)*sqrt(10)/10=

    sqrt(30)/10

    3/10=x*2 now what lol wow I stopped teaching 20 years ago and didn’t realize how much I’d forgotten. If I was given this problem on my own, I would’ve done like I did above. I would’ve squared both sides to get rid of the square root. But then I would realize that wouldn’t work and I would eventually come to this solution. I did not realize how much you lose it if you don’t use it. Things like order of operations andstuff you use constantly you don’t lose, but factoring, and stuff like that takes a while to refresh your memory

    It looked simple enough, but when I saw your answers, I thought 3/10 is the same as 30/100, so d is an alternative expression. Answer b is roughly 10 times too large, you could have offered 1 divided by the square root of 3 for a more effective distractor.

      You're so radical. Multiply by 100 over 100 so you get (300^1/3)/10 there are no primes that multiply 3 times to form 300 (no cubic factors of 300)

      If you are not given a choice of answers then there's nothing to do here!
      The question boils down to, "which of these options is equivalent to the original expression?"
      Very obviously, you can't ask that question without providing some options.
      If there are no options and the question is just
      √(3/10) = ?
      then
      √(3/10) = √(3/10)
      is as valid as any other correct answer.

If I asked you what 7 + 5 equals, would you write that 7 + 5 = 7+5? The answer is given so watch the video please.

      @ellentronicmistress4969 My point is that if you were simply given the question √(3/10) = ? without a choice of answers, there is not one unique correct answer.
      Without a choice of answers the question in the video is just
      √(3/10) = ?
      Obviously nobody would actually write that as a question. It's just silly.
      √(3/10) = ?
      is not the same question as:
      Rationalise the denominator in √(3/10)

    b) We can't have the square root of a prime number as the denominator.
