10/√0.625+4/√164

1 answer

To evaluate this expression, we can first simplify the square roots in the denominators.

√0.625 = √(5/8) = √5 / √8 = (1/2)√5

√164 = √(4 * 41) = √4 * √41 = 2√41

Now, we can substitute these values back into the expression:

10/(1/2)√5 + 4/2√41

Simplifying further:

10 * 2√5 / 1 + 4 / 2√41

20√5 + 4 / 2√41

Now, we need to rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:

(20√5 + 4 / 2√41) * (√41 / √41)

(20√5 + 4)√41 / 2 * 41

(20√5 + 4)√41 / 82

So, the simplified expression is (20√5 + 4)√41 / 82.
