Examples with solutions for Square Root Quotient Property: Identify the greater value

Exercise #1

Choose the largest value

Video 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

Exercise #2

Choose the largest value

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the value of each expression under the square root.
  • Step 2: Simplify the square roots to find their numerical values.
  • Step 3: Compare the results to find the largest value.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate the values under each square root.

  • For choice 1: 255=5 \frac{25}{5} = 5
  • For choice 2: 366=6 \frac{36}{6} = 6
  • For choice 3: 369=4 \frac{36}{9} = 4
  • For choice 4: 84=2 \frac{8}{4} = 2

Step 2: Compute the square roots.

  • Choice 1: 52.236 \sqrt{5} \approx 2.236
  • Choice 2: 62.449 \sqrt{6} \approx 2.449
  • Choice 3: 4=2 \sqrt{4} = 2
  • Choice 4: 21.414 \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414

Step 3: Compare the square roots calculated.

The largest value among the choices is found in choice 2:

366=62.449 \sqrt{\frac{36}{6}} = \sqrt{6} \approx 2.449 is larger than the other evaluated square roots.

Therefore, the largest value is given by the expression 366 \sqrt{\frac{36}{6}} .

Answer

255 \sqrt{\frac{25}{5}}

Exercise #3

Choose the largest value

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify each choice using the Square Root Quotient Property.
  • Step 2: Calculate the square root of each simplified fraction.
  • Step 3: Compare these values to find the largest one.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Simplify each choice:
Choice 1: 364=364=62=3 \sqrt{\frac{36}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{4}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3
Choice 2: 3616=3616=64=1.5 \sqrt{\frac{36}{16}} = \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{16}} = \frac{6}{4} = 1.5
Choice 3: 366=366=662.45 \sqrt{\frac{36}{6}} = \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{6}} \approx 2.45 (approximating since it is irrational)
Choice 4: 362=362=62=6×22=324.24 \sqrt{\frac{36}{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{6 \times \sqrt{2}}{2} = 3\sqrt{2} \approx 4.24

Step 2: Evaluate to find which is the largest value:
Choice 1 equals 3, Choice 2 equals 1.5, Choice 3 equals approximately 2.45, and Choice 4 approximately equals 4.24.

Step 3: Compare these values. Clearly, 4.24 4.24 is the largest.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 362 \sqrt{\frac{36}{2}} .

Answer

362 \sqrt{\frac{36}{2}}

Exercise #4

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify each expression using the Square Root Quotient Property.
  • Step 2: Compare the simplified values to identify the largest one.

Let's simplify each expression:

Choice 1: 255 \sqrt{\frac{25}{5}}
Simplify: 255=52.236 \sqrt{\frac{25}{5}} = \sqrt{5} \approx 2.236 since 255=5 \frac{25}{5} = 5 .

Choice 2: 366 \sqrt{\frac{36}{6}}
Simplify: 366=62.449 \sqrt{\frac{36}{6}} = \sqrt{6} \approx 2.449 since 366=6 \frac{36}{6} = 6 .

Choice 3: 497 \sqrt{\frac{49}{7}}
Simplify: 497=72.646 \sqrt{\frac{49}{7}} = \sqrt{7} \approx 2.646 since 497=7 \frac{49}{7} = 7 .

Choice 4: 648 \sqrt{\frac{64}{8}}
Simplify: 648=82.828 \sqrt{\frac{64}{8}} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.828 since 648=8 \frac{64}{8} = 8 .

Upon comparing the values, 82.828 \sqrt{8} \approx 2.828 is the largest.

Therefore, the largest value is 648 \sqrt{\frac{64}{8}} .

Answer

648 \sqrt{\frac{64}{8}}
