To divide √95 by 3√5, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.
The conjugate of 3√5 is 3√5, so the expression becomes:
(√95 / 3√5) * (3√5 / 3√5)
This simplifies to:
(3√95 * √5) / (3√5 * 3√5)
Taking the product of the numerators gives:
3√(95 * 5) / (3√(5 * 5 * 5))
This simplifies further to:
3√475 / (3√125)
Now, we can simplify the radicals:
3 * (√(475) / √(125))
√475 = √(25 * 19) = 5√19
√125 = √(25 * 5) = 5√5
Plugging these values in, we get:
3 * (5√19 / 5√5)
The 5's cancel out, leaving us with:
3 * √19 / √5
Therefore, the exact answer is 3√19 / √5.
