Homework problem

[wherestheremote]

Granddaughter asked me for help on this, I’ve never heard of surd form before this.

Can anyone explain how to do this. Please show working out.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Is the answer 84.83333333? And now it needs to be a surd form?

Is the answer Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol? Do I get a prize if I'm right?

 

[go-nads!]

503/6???

 

[goalscrounger]

It's one over the 6th root of 84

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

Goalscrounger is correct written as...
1/(6throot84)

 

[Way_Out_West]

84-1/6 = 1/84 1/6 = 1/(6√84)

In the time it took me to type that, the 2 above already answered, never mind.

 

[bumface]

Goalscrounger is correct written as...
1/(6throot84)

Nobby the nerd? Lost a lot of respect for you now Nobby. I thought that you were one of the cool kids like me.

Let's hope they don't want that surd on the denominator rationalizing :D

 

[dooderooni]

In what profession would that come in handy and is the opposite of a surd an absurd?

 

[wherestheremote]

Thanks for the answer(s). In my whole 73 years I've never heard the term 'surd form' before.

I'm still a loss at how to do it, looks like the granddaughter's on her own here :D

I must have nicked off school that day...

 

[Laughing]

I had forgotten about surd form from school. Seemed like a crock back then but so did calculus and quadratic equations.

goalscrounger's profession, obviously.

I don't remember it at all and I had to do a year's extra maths at the Poly as my degree course needed A level maths, which I didn't have.

I did a year of maths for computer science at uni too. To be honest it only covered o level stuff though.

This. I've got an a level in maths and have honestly never heard of Surd form

 

[Laughing]

I did calculus irrational numbers and by extension surd form and imaginary numbers at o level maths.
