Given the radical

√7 over 2 √11

It can be written as, 

√7 /2 √11

Solution:

In order to simplify the given radical expression, we rationalize the denominator. By rationalizing, it means that we will multiply the denominator and the numerator with the value of the denominator since we cannot have a radical expression in the denominator.

= (2 √11)√7 /2 √11(2 √11)

= 2 √77/4(11)

= 2 √77/44

Final answer:

= 2 √77/44
