Answer:
depends on whether the 2 divides everything or just the square root
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
2 ±sqrt(44) /2
We know that sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)
2 ±sqrt(4*11) /2
2 ±sqrt(4) sqrt(11) /2
{2 ±2 sqrt(11)} /2
Now if the 2 in the denominator is under the entire top
Factor out a 2
2 ( 1±sqrt(11)} /2
Cancel the 2
1±sqrt(11)
If the 2 is just under the sqrt of 44
2±2sqrt(11) /2
Cancel the 2 in the numerator and denominator
2±sqrt(11) /1
2±sqrt(11)
