Thanks!! :D

    1. sqrt(11/4) = ( sqrt (11) ) / 2

    2. sqrt (200/60)

    = ( sqrt (2*100) ) / ( sqrt(4*15) )

    = ( 10 sqrt (2) ) / ( 2 sqrt(15) )

    = ( 10 sqrt(30) ) / (2*15) by multiplying by sqrt(15) / sqrt(15)

    = ( 10 sqrt(30) ) / 30

    = ( sqrt(30) ) / 3

    3. sqrt(5/9) = ( sqrt(5) ) / 3

    4. sqrt(75/20)

    = ( sqrt(25*3) ) / ( sqrt(4*5) )

    = ( 5 sqrt(3) ) / ( 2 sqrt(5) )

    = ( 5 sqrt(15) ) / (2*5) by multiplying by ( sqrt(5) ) / ( sqrt(5) )

    = ( sqrt(15) ) / 2

    5. (m+h)^2 = m^2 + 2mh + h^2

    6. (3x-2)^2 = 9x^2 - 3x(2) - 3x(2) + 4

    = 9x^2 - 6x - 6x + 4

    = 9x^2 - 12x + 4

    7. (7y + 2)^2 = 7y(7y) + (7y)(2) + (7y)(2) + 2*2

    = 49y^2 + 14y + 14y + 4

    = 49y^2 + 28y + 4
