Simplify. See Example 9. (-√2/3)/(√7/3)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Rewrite the expression clearly as a fraction: \(\frac{-\sqrt{2} \times 3}{\sqrt{7} \times 3}\).
Notice that the factor 3 appears in both numerator and denominator, so you can simplify by canceling out the 3: \(\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{7}}\).
To simplify the fraction with square roots in numerator and denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by \(\sqrt{7}\) to rationalize the denominator: \(\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{7}} \times \frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{7}}\).
Use the property \(\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b}\) to rewrite numerator and denominator: numerator becomes \(-\sqrt{2 \times 7}\) and denominator becomes \(\sqrt{7 \times 7}\).
Simplify the denominator \(\sqrt{7 \times 7} = 7\), so the expression becomes \(\frac{-\sqrt{14}}{7}\). This is the simplified form.

Rationalizing the Denominator

Rationalizing the denominator means eliminating any radicals from the denominator of a fraction by multiplying numerator and denominator by a suitable radical expression. This results in a simplified expression with a rational denominator.

Properties of Square Roots

Square root properties, such as √a * √b = √(a*b) and √(a/b) = √a / √b, allow manipulation and simplification of expressions involving radicals. Understanding these properties is essential for correctly simplifying and rationalizing expressions.
