Math Problem Statement

Simplify 1/√7

Solution

The given expression is:

17\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}

We want to simplify this expression. One way to simplify such an expression is to rationalize the denominator. To do this, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 7\sqrt{7}:

17×77=77\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}} \times \frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{7}} = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}

This gives the simplified form:

77\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}

Looking at the answer choices:

a) 77\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}
b) 149\frac{1}{\sqrt{49}}
c) 17\frac{1}{7}
d) 77

The correct answer is a) 77\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}.
