If you multiply something by one, you get the same thing that you started with right? So if you have 12/√13, in order to get rid of the √, you can multiply 12/√13 by √13/√13 (the same thing as one) and you get 12√13 /13

Hi,

If there is only one term on the bottom with a square root, multiply the numerator and denominator both by that same square root. Realize that when you multiply a square root times itself you get the number inside the radical as your answer. That is, sqrt(5)*sqrt(5) = 5)

In your problem

12
----------- =
sqrt(13)

12*sqrt(13)
----------------------- =
sqrt(13)*sqrt(13)

12*sqrt(13)
----------- =
13

If those numbers outside the radical could be divided, you would divide or reduce them. If the radical could be simplified, you'd have to do that too.

I hope that helps!! :-)

lol, simplify by multiplying the numerator + demoninator by sqrt(13)

then you get 12sqrt(13)/13

12/sqrt(13)

multiply top and bottom by sqrt(13)

(12sqrt(13))/13 or (12/13)sqrt(13)
