Simplify -( square root of 3)/3

Problem

−√(,3)/3

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a fraction with a radical in the numerator and a rational number in the denominator.

2. Rewrite the denominator 3 as (√(,3))2 to see if the expression can be simplified further.

−√(,3)/((√(,3))2)

3. Cancel a factor of √(,3) from both the numerator and the denominator.

−1/√(,3)

4. Observe that the original form −√(,3)/3 is already the standard rationalized form of the expression. In most mathematical contexts, this is considered the simplest form because the denominator is a rational number.

Final Answer

−√(,3)/3=−√(,3)/3
