What is the result of (√10) / (√5)?

  1. √15

  2. √10

  3. √5

  4. √2

The correct answer is: √2

To simplify the expression (√10) / (√5), start by applying the property of square roots that states √a / √b = √(a/b). Therefore, you can rewrite the expression as: (√10) / (√5) = √(10/5) Next, simplify the fraction inside the square root: 10 / 5 = 2 Thus, you have: √(10/5) = √2 The simplified expression yields √2, which is the correct answer. This understanding of manipulating square roots and fractions is key in solving similar problems effectively.
