Which choices are equivalent to the quotient below? Check all that apply. √50/√10
A.√25/√5
B.√15/√3
C.√5
D.15/3
E.√3
F.5

Answer 1

To simplify the quotient √50/√10, we need to factor out the largest perfect square that divides each radicand. In this case, we can factor out 25 from both 50 and 10 to get:

√50/√10 = √(252) / √(252) = √25 * √2 / √25 * √2 = √2

Therefore, the simplified form of the quotient is √2. Among the given choices, options B and E are equivalent to √2, as √15/√3 can be simplified as √(35)/√3 = √5 * √3 / √3 * √3 = √5/√3, and √3 is the same as √(31) and there is no √2 term in the denominator to combine with it. Hence, the options B and E are equivalent to the quotient √50/√10.
