How do you add fractional radicals and whole-number radicals. For instance, the square root of 1/3 plus...?

Question

the square root of 3? Show work please.

Answer 1

You don't UNLESS the terms in the arguement (the stuff inside the square root) are the same. For example, if you had 2sqrt(3)+1/2sqrt(3), you would combine to get 2-1/2 sqrt(3).
