Question

How do you simplify `sqrt(t/8)`?

Answer 1

`1/2sqrt(t/2)`

Explanation:

Rewrite `8` in its factors. `t` has no factors so leave it as is:

`sqrt(t/(2xx2xx2)`

Take out anything that has two of a kind. In this case, we have three `1/2`s so we can take out `2` of those. That means that we're left with `t/2` on the inside:

`1/2sqrt(t/2)`
