Question

6 + square root 8 / 2

I got 6 + square root 2 and the answer is supposed to be 3 + square root 2 could anybody show me how do this question properly?

6 + root 8
-------------
2

Answer 1

= 6 + root(8/2)
= 6 + root(4)
= 6 + 2
= 8

Answer 2

6 + square root 8 / 2
6+√(8/2)=6+√4=6+2=8

Answer 3

6 + square root 8 / 2
6 + square root 4
square root of 4 = 2
so 6 plus 2 = 8

Answer 4

this looks a lot nicer with a few brackets:

i assume the question is {6 + sqrt8} / 2

in this case the top line can be expressed as {6 +(2*sqrt2)}
if you divide this be 2 you get {3 + sqrt2}

the confusion here comes from srqt8 which can be expressed as the product of two other square roots. in this case sqrt4 (which=2) times the sqrt2.

its just the same as 4*2=8 except you would write it as sqrt4*sqrt2=sqrt8.

Answer 5

Sqrt 8 = sqrt 4 * sqrt 2 = 2*sqrt 2. Dividing by 2 gives you sqrt 2 only. Adding 6 gives the correct answer, 6 + sqrt2

Answer 6

JUST DIVIDE BY ZERO!
