Answer:

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{3}}

In order to simplify this expression we have to multiply and divide it with the conjugate of the denominator i.e multiply and divide the entire expression with 1-\sqrt{3}, as shown below:

\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{3}}\\=\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1-\sqrt{3}}\\=\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{(1)^{2}-(\sqrt{3})^{2}}\\\\ =\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1-3}\\\\ =\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{-2}\\\\ =\frac{-1(1-\sqrt{3})}{2}\\\\ =\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2}

Thus, 4th option gives the correct answer.

Answer:

The right option is D -1+√3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quotient of the sure function 1/1+√3, we will rationalize the surd function by multiplying the numerator and the denominator of the surd by the conjugate of its denominator.

Given he denominator to be 1+√3, the conjugate of 1+√3 is 1-√3

Multiplying by 1-√3 will result in the following;

1/1+√3×1-√3/1-√3

= 1-√3/(1+√3)(1-√3)

= 1-√3/1-√3+√3-√9

= 1-√3/1-√9

= 1-√3/1-3

= 1-√3/-2

= -(1-√3)/2

= -1+√3/2

The right option is D -1+√3/2

If you drive for 3 hour at 60 mph and then 2 hours at 70 mph, how far will you travel
Nikitich [7]
To answer this, we need to understand what mph actually means.

Driving 60 mph means is that, if we had a constant speed for one hours we would drive 60 miles. 

mph - miles per hour.

Knowing this, we can now answer the question:

3*60 (three hours for 60 miles per hour)
+
2*70 (two hours for 70 miles per hour)

180 + 140 = 320

The answer is, you would travel 320 miles.

The governor of state a earns $50,935 more than the governor of state b. If the total salaries is $287,225. Find the salaries fo
kakasveta [241]
A + b = 287,225
a = b + 50,935

b + 50,935 + b = 287,225
2b + 50,935 = 287,225
2b = 287,225 - 50,935
2b = 236,290
b = 236,290/2
b = 118,145 <=== what governor b earns

a = b + 50,935
a = 118,145 + 50,935
a = 169,080 <=== what governor a earns
