estovlo2 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I learned hot to do all this stuff a while ago, but my mind just went blank....Pretty simple question, but how would you simplify say 300 into radicals.The answer would be a number beside the square route sign with another inside of the sign. So something-radical-something. Sorry I can't explain it better, but somebody will prob. understand.Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kosydar 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Break it into something with smaller perfect squares, for example 50 would be the square root of 2 times the square root of 25, so that equals 5radical2. With 300, you'd do the exact same thing, if that makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
estovlo2 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Ahh, now it's clicking again. It would be broken into 3radical10.Wow, I can't believe I forgot that.Thanks for the help kosydar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember struggling with it back then. Now we're onto easy stuff, implicit derivatives including inverse trig functions, and logarithmic derivatives. I <3 math 31.
