Question

How do you simplify the expression `sqrt (13/11)`?

Answer 1

`sqrt(13/11)=(sqrt13)/(sqrt11)`

This cannot be simplified further because `13` and `11` are prime numbers.

Answer 2

`sqrt143/11`

Explanation:

To simplify this, multiply both numerator and denominator by `sqrt11`, which is esssentially multiplying it by `1`. This is done to remove the square root symbol.

`sqrt(13/11) * sqrt(11/11)`

`(sqrt13sqrt11)/sqrt(11)^2`

`sqrt143/11`

Hope this helps!
