My teacher makes us use fraction trees when simplifying radicals.
Yes.

Here's wheat I do:
I divide the radicand by the perfect square that will leave me with the smallest remainder, then subtract it from the radicand.

Example: simplify √40
√40 - √36 = √4

answer: √4 • √6

Am I wrong?

I gotta say guys, I watched the whole thing (and I'm a skeptic; I don't believe in UFOs) and Athene's Theory of Everything makes perfect sense. If the time vectors are moving exactly opposite the space vectors so that they cancel each other out in the now, which is the only real time, then mirror neurons must be activating deep spiritual oneness in the Heisenberg uncertainty relations of our consciousness. The obvious implication of this is that death, being a construct of Cnow, is NOT EVEN REAL!!!

Mind blown and bricks shat.

You might be on to something, but then again I suffered a sports injury and have ingested quite a few substances that could affect my reasoning.

lol fucking antigravity
