If (\sqrt{5}=\frac{p}{q}), which equation is obtained after squaring both sides?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (p^2=5q^2)
Step 1: Squaring both sides gives (5=\frac{p^2}{q^2}). Step 2: Multiplying both sides by (q^2) gives (p^2=5q^2). Step 3: Always write the denominator-clearing step carefully.
