Math Problem Statement

57\frac{\sqrt5}{\sqrt7}

Solution

The expression 57\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}} can be simplified using the property of square roots:

57=57\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}} = \sqrt{\frac{5}{7}}

Thus, the simplified form is:

57\sqrt{\frac{5}{7}}

If you want to rationalize the denominator (i.e., eliminate the square root from the denominator), you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 7\sqrt{7}:

57×77=357\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}} \times \frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{7}} = \frac{\sqrt{35}}{7}

So, the rationalized form is:

357\frac{\sqrt{35}}{7}
