Math Problem Statement

Simplify \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{6}} \).

Solution

The problem is to simplify the radical expression 96\sqrt{\frac{9}{6}}.

Solution:

  1. Simplify the fraction under the square root: 96=32.\frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2}.

  2. The expression becomes: 32.\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.

  3. Use the property of square roots: 32=32.\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}.

  4. Rationalize the denominator: Multiply numerator and denominator by 2\sqrt{2}: 32×22=62.\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}.

Final Answer:

62.\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}.
