Surds question

Hi,
Tutor - please solve this one for me I'm confused;

5 sq of3 -3 sq of5/sq of5 - sq of3                  - sq of5 - sq of3/5sq of3 - 3sq of3.

I should have latex it properly but dont know how to do that.
It is a surd question.
(sq of) means there is a principal square root sign.

Thanks!


I know only one thing - that is that I know nothing

Re: Surds question


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
