Simplify and express
[tex]2 \sqrt{2} - \frac{3}{ \sqrt{2} } + \frac{4}{ \sqrt{8} } [/tex]
as a single surd​

Answers

Answer 1

First a few reminders:

• For a ≠ 0 and b ≥ 0, [tex]\sqrt[a]{b}=b^{\frac1a}[/tex]

• 4 = 2² and 8 = 2³

• For real numbers a, b, c, we have [tex](a^b)^c=a^{bc}[/tex]

• For any real numbers a and n (so long as both are not zero), we have [tex]\frac1{a^n}=a^{-n}[/tex]

• For any numbers a, b, c, [tex]a^b\times a^c=a^{b+c}[/tex]

So we have

[tex]\sqrt2=2^{\frac12}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac1{\sqrt2}=2^{-\frac12}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac1{\sqrt8}=\dfrac1{(2^3)^{\frac12}}=2^{-\frac32}[/tex]

Then the given expression can be rewritten as

[tex]2\sqrt2-\dfrac3{\sqrt2}+\dfrac4{\sqrt8}=2\times2^{\frac12}-3\times2^{-\frac12}+2^2\times2^{-\frac32}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt2-\dfrac3{\sqrt2}+\dfrac4{\sqrt8}=2^{1+\frac12}-3\times2^{-\frac12}+2^{2-\frac32}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt2-\dfrac3{\sqrt2}+\dfrac4{\sqrt8}=2^{\frac32}-3\times2^{-\frac12}+2^{\frac12}[/tex]

Pull out a factor of [tex]2^{-\frac12}[/tex]:

[tex]2\sqrt2-\dfrac3{\sqrt2}+\dfrac4{\sqrt8}=2^{-\frac12}\left(2^{\frac32+\frac12}-3+2^{\frac12+\frac12}\right)[/tex]

Simplify this:

[tex]2\sqrt2-\dfrac3{\sqrt2}+\dfrac4{\sqrt8}=2^{-\frac12}\left(2^2-3+2^1\right)=2^{-\frac12}(4-3+2)=3\times2^{-\frac12}=\dfrac3{\sqrt2}[/tex]

Rationalize this last result to get the square root out of the denominator:

[tex]2\sqrt2-\dfrac3{\sqrt2}+\dfrac4{\sqrt8}=\dfrac3{\sqrt2}\times\dfrac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{3\sqrt2}{(\sqrt2)^2}=\boxed{\dfrac{3\sqrt2}2}[/tex]

If A ( a , b ) and B ( b , a ) lie in 6x-y =1 and 2x - 5y = 5 respectively , find the equation of AB. Show your workings too!

~Thanks in advance! :D ​

Answers

Answer:

Solution given:

A(a,b) lie in 6x-y =1

substituting value of A in equation ,we get

6a-b=1...................(1)

B(b,a) lie in 2x - 5y = 5

substituting value of B in equation ,we get

2b-5a=5

b=5(a+1)/2............(2)

substituting value of b in equation 1 ,we get

6a-5(a+1)/2=1

12a-5a-5=2

7a=2+5

a=[tex] \frac{7}{7} [/tex]=1

substituting value of a in equation 1 ,we get

6×1-b=1

6-1=b

b=5

so points are A(1,5) and B(5,1)

we have

equation of line having two points

Sam and Dave, who are both Park Rangers, each manage a nature preserve. ​ ​Devin's nature reserve is 14 hectares and Sam's nature reserve is 14\cdot 10^{6}14⋅10 6 square meters. ​Who manages the smaller nature preserve? Note: 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters

Answers

Answer: Devin's

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Devin's nature reserve is 14 hectares

Sam's nature reserve is [tex]14\times 10^6\ m^2[/tex]

Also, [tex]1\ \text{hectare}=10,000\ m^2[/tex]

Devin reserve in square meter [tex]14\ \text{hectares}=14\times 10^4\ m^2[/tex]

Clearly, [tex]14\times 10^6> 14\times 10^4[/tex]

So, Devin's manages smaller area

a.When the numerator and the denominator have no common factor other than 1; he fraction is either a proper fraction or mixed number

Answers

Answer:

The fraction is a proper fraction (and irreducible)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x = Numerator[/tex]

[tex]y = Denominator[/tex]

[tex]Common\ factor = 1[/tex]

Required

The type of fraction

A fraction with the given features is a proper fraction and cannot be further reduced.

Take for instance:

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

[tex]y = 7[/tex]

The only common factor between [tex]2\ and\ 7[/tex] is 1

[tex]\frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{7}[/tex]

See that 2/7 is a proper fraction and also 2/7 cannot be reduced (simplified)

The above logic is applicable to all fraction that have the attribute stated in the question (e.g. 3/7, 3/8, 4/9, 7/10, etc.)

You can tell that the two triangles on the left, and the two triangles on the right make a rectangle if you flip one of them. Because of this, you can multiply the base and height to get the area of both.

7.5*16=120 (left side)

7.5*7.5=56.25 (right side)

Now we add them to get the full area:

Determine whether the pair of coordinate pairs will make the linear inequality true or false.(10, 6).Y ≤ -5/5x+3

Answers

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the ordered pair (10, 6) and we want to see if this ordered pair is a solution of the inequality:

y  ≤ -5/5x+3

Remember that a generic ordered pair is written as (x, y)

Then for the ordered pair (10, 6) we have:

x = 10

y = 6

So we just need to replace these two values in the inequality and see if the inequality is true or false.

Replacing these values we get:

6  ≤ (-5/5*10) + 3

6  ≤ (-1/10) + 3

This is false, 6 is not less than the thing at the right, so we can conclude that (10, 6) is not a solution of the inequality.

So the coordinate pair makes the inequality false.
