Practice problem
Can you fully rationalize an equation of the form x=ab\sqrt{x}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{b}}x=ba by squaring?
Yes, because squaring both sides eliminates the \sqrt{} on x+bx+bx+b
Yes, because squaring both sides eliminates all the \sqrt{}'s
No, because there will be an irrational term left on the left-hand side
No, because there will be an irrational term left on the right-hand side
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
