(7sqrt2)/x

Explanation:

The square root of a quotient is the same as the quotient of the square roots, so we can rewrite this as

sqrt98/sqrt(x^2)

Since 98=49*2, sqrt98=sqrt49sqrt2. The square root of something squared is that something, so our entire expression simplifies to

(sqrt49sqrt2)/x

=>(7sqrt2)/x
