Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Select the largest value
00:03 Calculate the quotient of each expression
00:07 Apply this method to each expression, and determine the largest one:
00:11 The larger the number in the root, the larger its value
00:14 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will simplify each square root expression separately and compare them:

  • Simplify 42 \sqrt{\frac{4}{2}} :
  • 42=2 \sqrt{\frac{4}{2}} = \sqrt{2}

  • Simplify 63 \sqrt{\frac{6}{3}} :
  • 63=2 \sqrt{\frac{6}{3}} = \sqrt{2}

  • Simplify 84 \sqrt{\frac{8}{4}} :
  • 84=2 \sqrt{\frac{8}{4}} = \sqrt{2}

Upon simplification, each expression results in 2 \sqrt{2} . Therefore, all values are equal.

Thus, the correct choice is: All values are equal.

Answer

All values are equal
