To divide the expression 4√10 by √2, we can simplify the denominator first.
√2 can be written as √(2*1), or √2.
Now, we can rewrite the expression as:
4√(10) / √(2)
To divide, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of √2 is -√2.
(4√(10) / √(2)) * (-√2 / -√2)
This simplifies to:
(-4√(20) / 2)
We can further simplify the expression by factoring out the square root term:
(-4 * √(4*5) / 2)
This becomes:
(-4 * 2√5 / 2)
The 2's cancel out, leaving:
-4√5
Therefore, the exact answer to 4√10 / √2 is -4√5.
