given b is prime, find the values of a and b.

√5+√500 = a√b

 

[Dr.Peterson]

given b is prime, find the values of a and b.

√5+√500 = a√b

The first step will be to simplify each given radical, particularly [MATH]\sqrt{500}[/MATH]. Can you do that?

Then you can think about combining them into one.

Please show us whatever you can do, so we can work from there.
