[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]

A sphere just fits inside a cube with edges 20 in. Long. What is the volume of the sphere? What is the volume of the cube? What is the volume of the space between the cube and sphere?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube = (side)³

                              = (20)³

                              = 8000 cubic in.

Volume of the sphere which just fits in = [tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

Here, r = Radius of the sphere

Since, sphere just fits in, radius of the sphere = half of the dimension of the cube

r = [tex]\frac{20}{2}[/tex]

r = 10 in

Therefore, volume of the sphere = [tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi (10)^3[/tex]

                                                        = 4188.79 cubic inch

Volume of the space between the cube and sphere = 8000 - 4188.79

                                                                                       = 3811.21 cubic inch

The ratio of boys to girls in the 10th grade is 8 to 13. If there are 91 girls in 10th grade, then how many boys are there?

Answers

Answer: There are 56 boys in the 10th grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

ratio of boys to girls in the 10th grade is 8 :13

Number of girls= 91

To find the number of boys, we first find the total number of boys and girls in the 10th grade

Step 2

Now the total ratio= 8 +13=21

Number of girls = ratio of girls/ total ratio  x  Total number of students

91=13/ 21  x  Total number of students

Total number of students =21 x 91 / 13  =147

Step 3

Therefore Number of boys =ratio of boys/ total ratio  x  Total number of student

8/21 x 147=56

Alex has a pile of 2p coins. She swapped exactly half of them for the same number of 10p coins.
Now she has £4.20
How much money did alex have initially?

Answers

Answer:

£8.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she swapped half and now has £4.20, then multiply that by 2

                                                     4.20 × 2 = 8.4

Alex initially had £8.4

The initial amount of Alex's 2p coins is £8.40

Let the initial worth of 2p coins = y

Half of y = y/2 The value of y/2 = £4.20

The amount of money Alex had initially = y

We can then solve for the worth of y, which is the titla amount Alex had initially ;

y/2 = £4.20Multiply bith sides by 2 (y/2)×2 = £4.20 × 2 y = £8.40

Therefore, the amount of money Alex had initially is £8.40

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure drawn is a circle.  It's center is a (-5,4) just the opposite of what is in the brackets.  I'm giving you this information just to be complete.

For a circle the radius is found using the lone number on the other side of the equal side -- in this case 121

The radius is the square root of that lone number.  

radius^2 = 121

sqrt(radius^2) = sqrt(121)

Angle B = 65 degrees

Angle C = 50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles will add up to 180 degrees.

65 + 3x - 10 + 2x = 180

Combine like terms

55 + 5x = 180

Subtract both sides by 55

5x = 125

Divide both sides by 5

x = 25

Plug in the value for x in angle B:

Do the same for angle C:

What are the coordinates of point P on a directed line segment from R to Q such that P is 5/6 the length of the line segment.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P = [-3/5,2.33][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for line segment RQ

[tex]P = \frac{5}{6}[/tex] of RQ

Required

The coordinates of P

Using line segment ratio formula, we have:

[tex]P = [\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}][/tex]

If P is at:

[tex]P = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]m : n = \frac{5}{6} : 1 -\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Solve

[tex]m : n = \frac{5}{6} : \frac{6-5}{6}[/tex]

[tex]m : n = \frac{5}{6} : \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Multiply by 6

[tex]m : n = \frac{5}{6} *6: \frac{1}{6} * 6[/tex]

[tex]m : n = 5 : 1[/tex]

By comparison

[tex]m=5\ \& n = 1[/tex]

From the attached line segment

[tex]R(x_1,y_1) = (4,-1)[/tex]

[tex]Q(x_2,y_2) = (-5,3)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = [\frac{5*-5 + 1*4}{5+1},\frac{5*3 + 1*-1}{5+1}][/tex]

[tex]P = [\frac{-25 + 4}{6},\frac{15 -1}{6}][/tex]

[tex]P = [\frac{-21}{6},\frac{14}{6}][/tex]

[tex]P = [-3/5,2.33][/tex]

A cylinder has a diameter of 14 cm and a volume of 112 pi.

What is the height in, centimeters, of the cylinder?



(PS I am literally giving 15 points for the correct answer!!!)

HELP! :(

Answers

Height of cylinder is 2.285 centimeters

Diameter = 14 cm
Radius = 7 cm (14/2)
Volume = 112 pi

Volume of cylinder = pi(radius)^2 h
112pi = pi(7)^2 h
Divide both sides
112 = 49 h
h = 112/49
h = 2.285 centimeters

Answers

The probability that Felix will spin a green and an F on the next spin is 2/45.

What is probability?

Probability is a number that expresses the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Both proportions ranging from 0 to 1 and percentages ranging from 0% to 100% can be used to describe probabilities.

Given, Felix spins each spinner 30 times. He

records the number of times each section is spun. Red (7), Yellow (5), Blue (10), Green (8)

Since probability distribution:

A probability distribution is a mathematical function that describes the probability of different possible values of a variable.

probability= desired outcome/ Total Outcomes

In our case,

Total outcomes = 30 *30

Desired outcome = spin a green and an F on the next spin

Since from probability distribution getting F and getting green has a likelihood of 5 and 8.

thus,

Probability  = 8 * 5/ 30 *30

probability = 2/45

therefore,  the probability that Felix will spin a green and an F on the next spin is 2/45.
