Question on simplifying rational functions? ?

Question

Is (radical x)/(x) able to be simplified?

Answer 1

(radical x)/x = 1/(radical x) but that answer is not the preferred way.

Math "etiquite" prefers radicals not to be in the denominator.

Answer 2

sqrt(x) / x = 1 / sqrt(x) = x^(-1/2)

depending on the situation, you could either leave it as sqrt(x) / x or x^(-1/2)

however, sqrt(x) / x is the reduced rationalized form we would normally leave it in

Answer 3

Yes, but not necessary.

(√X) / X = [(√X) / X ][(√X)/(√X)] = X / X√X = 1 / √X
