Hey guys,
so I'm in my first year and first week of engineering and messing around doing some questions we've been given to try out.
so, I'm doing ok so far. Hit and miss but generally I can find a way to get the right answer. Not sure why I'm getting this answer for this question though. Please help.
Q: Define variables X and Y as X = 5.1 and Y = 4.2 and evaluate, 3/4 xy – 7x/y^2 + sqrt(xy)
(The / are fractions rather than a divided by) The following is my answer
A: X =5.1; Y=4.2;
sym(3/4) * x * y – sym(7 * x / y^2) + sqrt(x * y)
When i do that, the result i get is not straightforward. Rather it is, (3*2^(1/2)*119^(1/2))/10 + 58973/4200
not sure where I'm going wrong. Thanks in advance
