The Attempt at a Solution
Here is my answer, i get 1/24
For my first step i divided both terms under the radical by 4, then split 1/4 into (1/2)2, i saw something very similar in my book so i did the same thing, but i just realized this has to be wrong. Whatever was in my book looked like this, but i guess there must be more to it
I finally figured it out, was supposed to factor out the 4, not divide by it
Here is the books answer, it's 1/12
I realize I am doing it differently than the books, but i just don't understand why my way is wrong. I've done it 3 times, very slowly and carefully. So there must be something I am not aware of. Please help me!
