Let's say I have to calculate 6/4 (i know, it's simple). Would the preferred answer be 3/2 or 1.5? Same with square roots: is sqrt(2) a better answer than 2^(1/2)?

1There's really no "better" or "best" way, it's really up to your marking scheme. – Deepak Feb 16 '22 at 09:00

1I would prefer $\sqrt 2$. For the shortest, try with a ruler. – Feb 16 '22 at 09:02

1No really best way here. As a hint, if the outcome is an algebraic number, write it down as such and not as a decimal number. – Wuestenfux Feb 16 '22 at 09:03
