(4sqrt7)/35

Explanation:

sqrt32/(5sqrt14)

Simplify sqrt32.

sqrt(2xx2xx2xx2xx2)/(5sqrt14)=

sqrt(2^2xx2^2xx2)/(5sqrt14)=

Apply square root rule sqrt(a^2)=a.

(2xx2sqrt(2))/(5sqrt14)=

(4sqrt2)/(5sqrt14)

Rationalize the denominator.

(4sqrt2)/(5sqrt14)xx(sqrt14)/sqrt14=

(4sqrt2sqrt14)/(5xx14)=

(4sqrt28)/70=

Simplify (4sqrt28).

(4sqrt(2xx2xx7))/70=

(4sqrt(2^2xx7))/70=

(4xx2sqrt7)/70=

(8sqrt7)/70
