Rationalize the denominator of $\frac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt{2}}$. The answer can be written as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$, where $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ are integers, $D$ is positive, and $B$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find the minimum possible value of $A+B+C+D$.

Answers

Answer 1

Rationalizing the denominator involves exploiting the well-known difference of squares formula,

[tex]a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)[/tex]

We have

[tex](\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2)(\sqrt{16}+\sqrt2)=(\sqrt{16})^2-(\sqrt2)^2=16-2=14[/tex]

so that

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{32}(\sqrt{16}+\sqrt2)}{14}[/tex]

Rewrite 16 and 32 as powers of 2, then simplify:

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2^5}(\sqrt{2^4}+\sqrt2)}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{2^2\sqrt2(2^2+\sqrt2)}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{4\sqrt2(4+\sqrt2)}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{16\sqrt2+4(\sqrt2)^2}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{16\sqrt2+8}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{8\sqrt2+4}7[/tex]

So we have A = 8, B = 2, C = 4, and D = 7, and thus A + B + C + D = 21.

Answer 2

The rationalized form of the given surd is [tex]\frac{8\sqrt{2}+4}{7}[/tex], and the minimum possible value of A + B + C + D = 8 + 2 + 4 + 7 = 21

Rationalizing Surds

From the question, we are to rationalize the denominator of the given surd.

We are to write the answer in the form

[tex]\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}[/tex]

and find the minimum possible value of A + B + C + D

The given surd is

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

To rationalize the surd, we will multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

The conjugate of the denominator is [tex]\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{\sqrt{32}(\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{16}-\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{2})}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{\sqrt{512}+\sqrt{64})}{(\sqrt{16})^{2} -(\sqrt{2})^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{16\sqrt{2}+8}{16-2}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{16\sqrt{2}+8}{14}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{2(8\sqrt{2}+4)}{2(7)}[/tex]

By comparing with, [tex]\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}[/tex]

A = 8, B = 2, C = 4, and D = 7

Then, the minimum possible value of A + B + C + D = 8 + 2 + 4 + 7 = 21

Hence, the rationalized form of the given surd is [tex]\frac{8\sqrt{2}+4}{7}[/tex], and the minimum possible value of A + B + C + D = 8 + 2 + 4 + 7 = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 similar triangles in the diagram

lamppost/ lamppost's shadow/ line from end of shadow to top of lamppost

Nick/ Nick's shadow/ line from end of shadow to top of Nick

Therefore the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Note the shadow of the lamppost = 12 + x, thus

[tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12+x}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

6x = 2(12 + x) = 24 + 2x ( subtract2x from both sides )

4x = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 6

Thus

Nick's shadow is 6 m long

Lamppost's shadow is 12 + 6 = 18 m long

Find the domain of the function. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex](-\infty,-9)\cup(-9,\infty)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a rational function is all real numbers except for when the denominator equals 0.

So, to find the domain restrictions, set the denominator to 0 and solve for x.

We have the rational function:

[tex]s(y)=\frac{7y}{y+9}[/tex]

Set the denominator to 0:

[tex]y+9=0[/tex]

Subtract 9:

[tex]y\neq-9[/tex]

So, the domain is all real numbers except for -9.

In other words, our domain is all values to the left of negative 9 and to the right of negative 9.

In interval notation, this is:

[tex](-\infty,-9)\cup(-9,\infty)[/tex]

if y varies directly with x and y = -12 when x = 6 find x when y = -4 A -2 B 3 C -3 D 2

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = - 12 when x = 6, thus

- 12 = 6k ( divide both sides by 6 )

- 2 = k

y = - 2x ← equation of variation

When y = - 4, then

- 4 = - 2x ( divide both sides by - 2 )

there are 300 window for b buildings. assuming there is an equal number of windows per building, how many windows does each building have

Answers

Answer:

[tex]300\div b[/tex] windows

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find how many windows each building has by changing our old expression.

If we assume [tex]b[/tex] is the amount of buildings and [tex]w[/tex] is the amount of windows per building, we can make the equation:

[tex]wb = 300[/tex].

Now we want to isolate w on one side.

To do this we can divide both sides by b.

[tex]wb\div b = 300\div b\\\\w = 300\div b[/tex]

So the amount of windows per building is [tex]300 \div b[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

there is 1 water station at every 0.3 KM

If there are n water stations at every 0.3 KM

then KM covered by them = n*0.3 = 0.3n

given that total KM covered is 15 km

Thus,

0.3n = 15

=> n = 15/0.3 = 50

Thus, there are 50 water stations.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of flat shapes, circles and square.

we know that the pizza has a  circular profile

and the place-mat has a square profile.

Step one:

let us solve for the radius of the pizza

[tex]area-of- pizzza= \pi r^2\\\\ 78.5= 3.142*r^2\\\\r^2= 78.5/3.142\\\\r^2= 24.98\\\\r= \sqrt{24.98} \\\\r=4.998\\\\r= 5 in[/tex]

from inspection we know that the width of the place-mat is same as the diameter of the pizza

hence diameter of pizza

Linear Function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table showing values of x and y

Required

Determine the type of function

To determine the type of function, the table represents;

One will need to determine the table equation.

Start by solving for the slope;

[tex]m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}[/tex]

When x - 0; y = 0 and When x = 80; y = 60.

This gives

[tex]m = \frac{0 - 60}{0 - 80}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{- 60}{- 80}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The formula is determine as follows;

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

When x - 0; y = 0; m = 3/4; This gives

[tex]y - 0 = \frac{3}{4}(x - 0)[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}(x - 0)[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}x - 0[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}x[/tex]

The above is an example of a linear equation.

The answer to this question is C. Quantitative

Explanation:

In research, a quantitative variable refers to a variable or factor that involves using numbers, percentages, and in general, quantities to be understood. Moreover, this is the opposite of qualitative variables that involve using qualities. The medical research described includes a quantitative variable because heart rate can only be measured and understood through numbers. Also, other types of variables such as qualitative or categorical are not involved because these are related to qualities rather than numbers.
