Given:
115/100
Determine how to find the square root of a function.
Solution:
In order to find the square root of a function without directly simplifying it, we can write it in the form.
= √(115/100)
or
= √115/√100
Notice that 115 is not a perfect square number, therefore, we can only simplify the denominator since 100 is a perfect square number.
=√115/10
If we simplify the numerator, even though it is not a perfect square then we can do so the same way.
= 10.72/10
Final answer:
= 10.72/10
