[warped palm]

We know √2 = 1.41421...

We want the decimal part meaning .41421...

Any idea how to get to that using

√2 = 1.41421... ?

[somber matrix]

less 1

but the decimal part is big A, the queation is small a

what is small a?

[warped palm]

I dont see big A

If we do 1 less though we get √2 - 1 = .41421

So the decimal part a = √2 - 1

otherwise

Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.

[somber matrix]

yeah. exactly

[warped palm]

Now you should be able to complete the task then, to determine 1/a

and what is a?

[somber matrix]

i dunno

[warped palm]

well ifyou dunno how i know

i am trusting you on the matter that this is the task
"if A is the decimal part of √2, express 1/a in radical expression"

so either the task doesnt make sense or you're missing a part

[somber matrix]

yeah
