Answer:  

The smallest value of p+q is 11

It happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let's factor 180 in such a way that exactly one factor is a perfect square.

I'll ignore the trivial factor of 1.

Here are the possible factorizations we could go with:

180 = 4*45

180 = 9*20

180 = 36*5

Those factorizations then lead to the following

\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{4*45} = \sqrt{4}*\sqrt{45}= 2\sqrt{45}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{9*20} = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{20}= 3\sqrt{20}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{36*5} = \sqrt{36}*\sqrt{5}= 6\sqrt{5}\\\\

Then we have

p+q = 2+45 = 47

p+q = 3+20 = 23

p+q = 6+5 = 11

The smallest value of p+q is 11 and it happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

Side note: p+q is smallest when we go with the largest perfect square factor.

True or false. 2/4=4/6​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

2*2 =4, so if this were true 4*2 would equal 6. Since it doesn't, the answer is false.

I hope this helps :)

What is the equation for these tables.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the point on the graph where the line intersects with the y-axis. Since this point must be on the y-axis the x-value must be 0. Every coordinate on the y-axis has an x-value of 0. So, to find the answer find the y-value when x=0. In this case, when x=0, y=2. Therefore, the y-intercept is 2, also written as (0,2).
