I am usually very good at math but having a brain fart today. How would you guys go about answering this square root of fraction problem.
Solve for v.
v = SquareRoot((1+22.4x10^8)/1000)
The way I did it: I just got rid of the 1 because it is so much smaller than 22.4x10^8 and then got SquareRoot((22.4x10^8)/1000). So now you have SquareRoot(22.4x10^5). Square root of is 1/2 of the exponent so it would be 22.4x10^5/2. Now what do you do with the exponent that is a fraction?
The answer is 1.4x10^3. What the hell am I not seeing??
Thanks guys.
