Hello,

please tell us what are you supposed to do with those terms!

What exactly are you supposed to do with them? I can guess at the first one (if I'm reading it correctly)
$\displaystyle \sqrt{\frac{3}{16}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{16}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{4^2}}$$\displaystyle = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} 2 - 5 are already in simplest form and 6. \displaystyle \sqrt[4]{m^{2a}n^4} = \sqrt[4]{m^2a} \sqrt[4]{n^4} = n \sqrt[4]{m^{2a}} (Technically, since \displaystyle \sqrt[4]{x^2} = (x^2)^{1/4} = x^{2/4} = |x|^{1/2} = \sqrt{|x|} this last can also be written \displaystyle n \sqrt{|m|^a}. Similarly 4 can be written as \displaystyle \sqrt{2|xy|} and 5 as \displaystyle \sqrt{|a - 3b|}.) -Dan 4.

2 - 5 are already in simplest form and

6. $\displaystyle \sqrt[4]{m^{2a}n^4} = \sqrt[4]{m^2a} \sqrt[4]{n^4} = n \sqrt[4]{m^{2a}}$
(Technically, since $\displaystyle \sqrt[4]{x^2} = (x^2)^{1/4} = x^{2/4} = |x|^{1/2} = \sqrt{|x|}$ this last can also be written $\displaystyle n \sqrt{|m|^a}$. Similarly 4 can be written as $\displaystyle \sqrt{2|xy|}$ and 5 as $\displaystyle \sqrt{|a - 3b|}$.)

Kindly elaborate all the steps and how to get the rationalizing factor?
try this other examples

Hello,

I'm refering to the 2nd collection of problems (Radicals 2.doc)
(By the way: Do us and yourself a favour and start a new thread if you have new and other problems to solve. Otherwise you risk that noboby will notice these new problems)

to #1: This is in simplest form already.

to #2:
$\displaystyle \sqrt[4]{81m^4}=\sqrt[4]{3^4 \cdot m^4}=3m$

to #3:
$\displaystyle \sqrt[4]{81a^2}=\sqrt{\sqrt{3^4 \cdot a^2}}=3 \cdot \sqrt{a}$
I used the property that $\displaystyle \sqrt[4]{x}=\sqrt{\sqrt{x}}$

to #4:
$\displaystyle 5(a+b) \cdot \sqrt{a+b}$
You know that $\displaystyle x = \sqrt{x^2},\ x>0$
$\displaystyle 5(a+b) \cdot \sqrt{a+b}=5 \sqrt{(a+b)^2} \cdot \sqrt{a+b}= 5 \cdot \sqrt{(a+b)^3}$
