No calculator. How do I simplify radicals in the fastest way possible? (I forgot how to- if anyone can explain it'd be appreciated).
For example, how would I simplify this in a fast and easy way?:
√4410
Also, I know when dividing, no radicals are allowed in the denominator of a fraction, so I have to rationalize it. But what if I have to rationalize something like this?:
(6√15 / 5√30)
I got 90√2

Simplify radicals by factoring the radicand: You're looking for perfect squares.
1) for 4410, the sum of digits add to 9. This tells you that 4410 is divisible by 3 and sometimes by 9. In this case it's divisible by 9: so, let's start there.
4410 = 9•490
Notice that 490 is 49 times 10 and 49 is a perfect square. So,
4410 = 9•490 = 9•49•10 = 3²•7²•10
Now, 10 can't be factored to any perfect squares so we stop there.
Then,
√4410 = √(3²•7²•10) = 3•7√10 = 21√10

2)
6√15 •√30...6√(3•5•3•2•5)...6√(3²•5²•2)
————–=——————=—————=
5√30 •√30..... 5√(30•30)........5√30²
6•3•5√2...90√2...3√2
———–=——–=—–
...5•30......150......5

I hope that helps.
I had to leave for a bit.
So, if I'm duplicating an answer, that's why.
