In Mathematica, Simplify[1/Sqrt[a] == Sqrt[1/a]]
gives Sqrt[1/a] == 1/Sqrt[a]
. I don't really see why this doesn't give a true
output when, FullSimplify
gives the desired result.
This probably is a very dumb question, but I just don't see it.
Because if a<0 then sqrt can have complex output values.
For example
sqrt(1/-1)=i
while
1/sqrt(-1)=-i
