Final answer:

To simplify the expression √34/√2, multiply the numerator and denominator together, simplify the square roots, and divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression √34/√2, we can combine the square roots by multiplying the numerator and denominator together.

√34/√2 = (√34)(√2)/(√2)(√2) = √(34*2)/√(2*2) = √68/√4

Next, we simplify the individual square roots:

√68 = √(4*17) = √4 * √17 = 2√17

√4 = 2.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 2√17/2 = √17.
