Square root Definition and 378 Threads

In a text, We have this: $\sqrt{2x^2 + 1}$ is equal to $x \sqrt{2 + \frac{1}{x}}$ I am confused as to how to factor out x from the original term.

Dear everyone, I have a question about a property of square root. $${\frac{1}{x}\sqrt{x^2}}$$$\implies$ $\sqrt{\frac{x^2}{x^2}}$=$\left| 1 \right|$ Is that property of a square root? Since $$\sqrt{x^2}$$= $\left| x \right|$.

I have: sq rt 2 +sq rt 2 over 2 , sq rt 5 + sq rt 5 over 2 I got (sq rt 4 over 2, and 0) = 1, 0 but the answer is actually (sq rt 2, 0) so is my answer still wrong?

I need to find the domain of this function.$$h(x) = 1 / \sqrt[4]{x^2 - 5x}$$ So, I understand that I need to set $$x^2 -5x > 0$$ from that I get $$ x(x-5) > 0$$ and $$ x > 5$$ However, the answer in the textbook is given: $$ ( \infty, 0) \cup (5, \infty)$$ Which mean that the graph has a...

How does this work? (Also, I am very math illiterate and do not understand even the most basic terms, if you could kindly speak as you would to a child I would GREATLY appreciate it.) sq rt sign over 13^2 - 12^2 (over both of it together) Now the answer is 5, because (13)(13) - (12)(12)...

I have a table with several quantities in it, and one of them is \sqrt{T} (T is tension) I have values for this table, and want to put the units next to the values. Something seems off to me about doing this, I guess because they're not integers. Is it correct to say the units are kg1/2m1/2s-1...

Here it is, for you to critique. This is a proof by contradiction. This is a good example of how I usually go about doing proofs, so if you give me tips on how to improve this particular proof, I'll be able to improve all my other proofs. I just learned how to do proof by contradiction...

Homework Statement A user on math.se wanted to prove that any Mersenne number m = 2^n - 1 has an irrational square root for n > 1. So, it can be proved rather easily that any non-perfect square has an irrational root, and that all of the numbers to be considered are not perfect squares...

This may seem like a very elementary question...but here goes anyway. When a positive number is raised to the power 1/2, I have always assumed that this is defined as the PRINCIPAL (positive) square root, e.g. 7^{1/2} = \sqrt{7},. That is, it does not include both the positive and negative...

Sorry for any mispellings, English is not my first language. So, I'm studying irrational numbers and I got curious about something and my teacher couldn't give me the answer. I understand Pi must exist because it's the simple result of a division (perimeter by diameter). But how can the...

I am trying to prove that √2 is irrational using proof by contradiction. Here is my work so far: √2 = p/q where p & q are in their lowest terms. Where q is non-zero. 2=p2/q2 2q2 = p2 Which tells me that p2 is an even number, using the definition of an even number. We can use this definition...

\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{x}} = \frac{\sqrt{x-3}}{\sqrt{x}} that is not true for all x, it is true for x\in [3,\infty) I want to teach my students that the exponents distribute over fractions unless we have a case like that square root or any even root. what do you think ?

Here's my problems: How might you "rationalize the denominator" if the expression is \frac{1}{2+7√2+5√3} or \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1}? I know that in typical problems where we rationalize the denominator, we simply have to multiply the denominator and numerator by the conjugate of the denominator...

How would you integrate it? \int \frac{d \varphi}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{a^2 b^2 \sin^2 \alpha}{(a \sin \varphi + b \sin (\alpha - \varphi))^2}}} I know that solving it numerically would probably be easier, but I would prefer a closed form solution in this case.

I'm comparing the shear formula for a beam in english and metric. But it seems the formula or result don't match. In English, the formula is Vc=2*b*d*sqrt(Fc) Given b=11.81102 inches d=18.11024 inches fc=4000 psi Vc=2*b*d*sqrt(Fc)=27056 lbs Now converting the units in metric...

Hello MHB, I got stuck on integrate this function $$\int \frac{\sin^3(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}}dx$$ my first thinking was rewrite it as $$\int \frac{\sin^2(\sqrt{x})\sin(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}}dx$$ then use the identity $$\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)=1 \ \therefore \sin^2x=1- \cos^2(x)$$ $$\int...

The part I don't understand is how they show there exists a smaller element. They assume s=t√3 is the smallest element of S={a=b√3: a,b€Z} . Then what they do is add s√3 to both sides and get s√3-s=s√3-t√3. I don't get how they thought of that or why it works.I know there exists an element...
