Is this radical simplified

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-19] [Hit: ]
Multiply it by √5 on top and on bottom,-12/5-No.Its generally improper to have radicals in the denominator of a fraction.(3(5^.3(5^.5 -5) /5-Whyre you doing her homework instead?......
3 - 3√5
------------ (Division line)
√ 5

So it's: 3 minus 3 square roots of 5 all over the square root of 5.

If not, what do I do to simplify it? Thanks.

no. You can't have a radical at the denominator. Multiply it by √5 on top and on bottom, like so
√5 times √5 equals 5
SO
3-3√5 / √5 is equal to 3-15 / 5 or -12/5

-12/5

No. It's generally improper to have radicals in the denominator of a fraction. You need to multiply by (root 5 / root 5) to fix it:

3 - 3root(5) (root 5) / (root 5)(root 5)

= 3root(5) - 3(5) / 5
= 3root(5) - 15 / 5

rewrite it this way

multiply by 5^1/2 / 5^1/2

(3(5^.5) - 3*5) / 5 factor 3 out

3(5^.5 -5) /5
