Math Problem Statement

9/square root of 2

Solution

The expression 92\frac{9}{\sqrt{2}} can be simplified by rationalizing the denominator. To rationalize, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2\sqrt{2}:

92×22=922\frac{9}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{9\sqrt{2}}{2}

So, the simplified form of 92\frac{9}{\sqrt{2}} is:

922\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{2}
