## anonymous 5 years ago How do you simplify 10 over radical seven plus radical two?

1. anonymous

$(10)/(\sqrt{2} +\sqrt{2})$?

$10/\sqrt{7+\sqrt{2}}$

3. anonymous

It is $5/\sqrt{2}$

4. anonymous

$\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}$ Therefore 10/ 2sqrt(2) will equal what I have above

What happened to the 7 that was under the radical?

rpeterson is the problem

7. anonymous

What was written was different than if it is 7 instead of 2 you are correct but if its 2 than I am correct

$10/(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{2}$

rpeterson there seems to be some confusion on your problem. Please restate the problem

10. anonymous

Where is he?

I don't know at first i thought there was two radicals one inside the other as I posted, but now I think there is two separate radicals.

12. anonymous

$(10)\div \sqrt{7}+\sqrt{2}$ ? or : $(10)/\sqrt{7+\sqrt{2}}$

13. anonymous

I think just wait he come back

If it is $(10)/(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{2})$ then$2(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{2})$

15. anonymous

yes, right

16. anonymous

how about:$(10)/\sqrt{7+\sqrt{2}}$
