Find the smallest value of k if 264k is a perfect square

4 0

Try factoring this first.
264k = 132*2k = 11*12*k = 11*3*2*2*k
To get a perfect square, you are going to have to have an even number of prime factors.
You have one 11 and one 3. You are going to have to do something about those two.
k = 11 * 3 <<<<< ======= answer.

Now put that into 264k and you get 11 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 11 * 3 which is a perfect square. 11^2 * 3^2 * 2^2 = 4356

The square root of 4356 = 66
4356 is a perfect square when 33 = k.

Calculate the expected gain or loss for Stock ABC. Lose $25 Gain $5 Gain $45 Stock ABC 40% | 15% | 45% Stock JKL| 15% | 65% | 20

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\begin{array}{c|ccc}&$Lose \$25&$Gain \$5&$Gain \$45\\$Stock ABC&40\%&15\%&45\%\end{array}\right$

We want to calculate the expected gain or loss of Stock ABC with the probabilities above.

Note that loss is written in negative.

$E$xpected Value =$ (-25 \times 40\%)+(5 \times 15\%) + (45 \times 45\%)\\=(-25 \times 0.4)+(5 \times 0.15)+(45 \times 0.45)\\=-10+0.75+20.25\\=\$11$

Stock ABC has an expected gain of $11.

Why are radicals simplified before adding and subtracting? Explain your reasoning by adding the square root of 8 and the square

Rashid [163]

The reason they have to be simplified is that you cannot add radical unless the number under the radical is the same on all of them.

For example:

If you add √8 + √32 without simplifying, the best you could do is an estimate. But if you're required to put your answer in standard radical form this would be an issue.

So, you would have to simplify to combine:

√4√2 + √16√2
2√2 + 4√2
6√2

Hope this helped!
