Why are the answers so weird? Or rather, really normal.
#Can someone explain to me whats going on in these equations?

answer to what?
daring cliff
why arent the radicals like
opaque sedge
the rational expression at the top?
daring cliff
one second i forgot the word
why cant i switch the radicals out?
and have the same answer
i thought 3-sqrt(3) would be the same answer on the one with sqrt(3)
of course i could do the math individually
but this just seems odd
opaque sedge
i think what they did was multiplied by the conjugate of the denominator
daring cliff
INTERCHANGEABLE was the word ok
opaque sedge
wdym by swapping the radicals though
daring cliff
wdym by swapping the radicals though
like why cant i treat the radical as a variable
and just have the same answer regardless and swap out the radical?
i kind of forgot how to answer these questions its been a while yknow
opaque sedge
you wouldn't have the same answer, what is in the radical also affects whats outside of it when multiplying by the conjugate
daring cliff
oh yeeaaa
you multiply by the conjugate
negating the denominator sort of
and making the numerator change differently
opaque sedge
its called rationalizing the denominator
daring cliff
its called rationalizing the denominator
same thing
english is only my first language
how to make it solved?
opaque sedge
type ".solved"
daring cliff
.solved
