I’d like to — Start from the beginning
“ Hi i need help with simplfying this pls. ”
Tutor said:
Hi, I'm Tutor, your tutor.

To clarify, we're simplifying 2√2 + √32 ?
You said:
yea
Tutor said:
Cool. Do you have any ideas where we would start?
You said:
do we just expand?
as normal?
Tutor said:
Yes, you can.

You said:
right so far?
Tutor said:
Yes, that's perfect. What next?
You said:
is that right?
Tutor said:
Nice work! That's correct.
You said:
cool thanks
may i ask another ques pls
Tutor said:
Yes, go for it :)
You said:
ok cool
so need to rationalisw
e
is that correct?
Tutor said:
Yes that looks great. What next?
You said:
with the first line
would we expand out
Tutor said:
That's right. Can you do that for me now?
You said:
is that right so far?
Tutor said:
Awesome. Can you double check your simplification of `sqrt(3)*sqrt(6)`?
Nice work. Can this be simplified any further?
You said:
dont think so
Tutor said:
You can certainly stop here if you want to. The one way that you could expand it a
bit further if you wanted to would be to divide each term through by 6.
`6 + 3sqrt(2) + sqrt(30) + 2sqrt(15)`
`= 1 + sqrt(2)/2 + sqrt(30)/6 + sqrt(15)/3`
Some of this can then be simplified a bit further.
Does this make sense?
You said:
ye[ thanks
Tutor said:
Do you have any last questions for me about anything that we've covered in this
session?
I'll end this tutorial for now. Please leave feedback on the next screen, and
remember, you can check out our other subject areas as well - we're here to help.
