Chapter 8.1, Problem 11CE

To determine

To Simplify: Simplify the given expression

Answer to Problem 11CE

The simplified form is $\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The given expression is $\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}}$

We have the given expression is $\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}}$

It can be further written as

  $\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

Since square root is positive quantity so we neglect negative sign.

Therefore, the simplified form is $\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$
