Mathematics
1 answer:
serious [3.7K]2 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

=  \frac{2 \sqrt{2}   -  \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} +  \sqrt{3}  }

=  \frac{2 \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }{ \sqrt{2} +  \sqrt{3}  }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }{ \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }

= \frac{ 2( \sqrt{2}  -  \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{2}  -  \sqrt{3} )}{ { \sqrt{2} }^{2} -  { \sqrt{3} }^{2}  }

=  \frac{2(2 -  \sqrt{6}  -  \sqrt{6} - 3) }{2 - 3}

=  \frac{2( - 1 - 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}

=  \frac{ - 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}

= 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )

= 2 + 4 \sqrt{6}

What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)2 = b as a result of completing the square for the following
skelet666 [1.2K]

For this case we have the following expression:

x ^ 2-4x + 10 = 4x + 10

We follow the steps below:

We subtract 4x on both sides of the equation:

x ^ 2-4x + 10-4x = 4x + 10-4x\\x ^ 2-8x + 10 = 10

We subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

x ^ 2-8x + 10-10 = 10-10\\x ^ 2-8x = 0

Now, we must complete squares.

When we have an equation of the form:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0, if we want to complete squares we must subtract c on both sides of the equation obtaining:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c-c = -c\\ax ^ 2 + bx = -c

The square is completed by adding to both sides of the equation: (\frac{b}{2})^{2}

So, we have left:

ax^2+bx + (\frac {b} {2})^{2} = - c + (\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2}

In the given expression we have:

a = 1\\b = -8\\c = 0

And to complete the square we have:

(\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2} = (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ {2} = 16

Rewriting we have:

x ^ 2-8x + 16 = 16

We factor the left side of the equation, that is, we look for two numbers that when added together result in -8 and when multiplied as a result 16. We have:

-4-4 = -8\\-4 * -4 = 16

So, we have:

(x-4) (x-4) = 16\\(x-4) ^ 2 = 16

Answer:

The intermediate step is to complete squares

(x-4) ^ 2 = 16

David earns $8.59 an hour. His benefits package is equal to 18 percent of his hourly wages. When you include the value of his be
meriva
A]
Amount of earning per hour=$8.59
Amount of David's benefits=18/100×8.59=:1.5462
Amount that David earn per hour including benefits is given by:
8.59+1.5462=$10.1362

b]Amount that David earns in 35 hour a week will be:
(amount per hour)*(number of hours)
=8.59*35
=$$300.65

C] amount earned by David including benefits will be:
(amount earned in 35 hours)+(total benefits in 35 hours)
total benefits=1.5462×35=$54.117
thus total amount will be:
300.65+54.117
=$354.767
