Split up the top and bottom into factors and cancel out any common factors.
While we do these problems, it is important to remember this rule:
First, we will split up the top.
We can't do anything with the square root of 5 because it is in it's simplest form. But, we can still split up the square root of
Now we can simplify.
The top is done, now for the bottom one.
We can't simplify either the square root of 10 or the square root of x.
So, the top is done, too.
Find any common factors and cancel them out.
Well, I can't find any common factors to cancel out, but, we can still simplify it further.
There is another law regarding radical expressions:
Using this, simplify the expression further.
So, now it is in it's simplest form.
