Definition: Dividing Radicals

Dividing radicals involves dividing expressions that contain square roots or other roots. It’s similar to dividing variables or numbers but includes the operations defined by radicals (roots).

For example, dividing \$ \sqrta \$ by \$ \sqrtb \$ simplifies to \$ \sqrt(a/b) \$, provided that a and b are non-negative and b ≠ 0.

Explanation: The image shows how to divide two radicals:

Dividing rule:

To divide \$ \sqrt(a)/\sqrt(b)\$, you divide the numbers inside the radicals.

The result is \$ \sqrt(a/b) \$.

So, \$ \sqrta/\sqrt b = \sqrt(a/b) \$.
