How do you simplify the square root of 48

Mathematics

noname [10]3 years ago

When you simplify the square root of a number, you are looking for factors of the number that are perfect squares that you can remove from under the radical.  For example sq root of 8... it's not a perfect square but factors of 8 include 2 x 4... 4 is a perfect square so we can take it out of the radical by taking it's square root.  Now you are left with 2* sq root of 2.

For sq root of 48

48 = 12 x 4 

12 = 3x4  so we can say 48 = 3x4x4

so... sq root 48 = sq root 3x4x4

we have two 4's under the radical.  Sq root x^2 = x    so sq root 4^2 is 4

Pull it out from the radical and we are left with 4 * sq root 3

Mary wants to buy one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks. The drinks cost $p$ dollars each, the medium pizza costs
Korolek [52]

Answer:

30-8p

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent cost of each drink.

We have been given that the medium pizza costs two times as much as one drink, so the cost of medium pizza would be 2p.

We are also told that the large pizza costs three times as much as one drink,  so the cost of la pizza would be 3p.

We have been given that Mary wants to buy one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks.

Since the cost of one drink is p, so cost of 3 three drinks would be 3p.

The total cost of one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks would be 2p+3p+3p=8p

Mary started with $30, so amount left after all of her purchases would be 30 minus total cost of all purchases.

30-8p

Therefore, Mary will have 30-8p dollars left after making all of her purchases.

Alejandro made an error in the steps below when determining the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x – 3y =
vazorg [7]
The slope of the line given its equation is calculated through, m = -A / B. The slope of the given line is 4/3. The line perpendicular to it has the slope of -3/4. The slope-point form of the equation is, 
                                       y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where m is the slope and x1 and y1 the abscissa and ordinate of the point, respectively. 
Substituting the values above, 
                                       y --2 = (-3/4)(x - 3)

Simplifying the equation gives 3x + 4y = 1.

Which linear function represents the line given by the point-slope equation y-8=
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

f(x)=x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y-8=(x-4)

This is the equation of the line in point slope form

where

The slope is m=1

The point is (4,8)

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

Adds 8 both sides

y-8+8=x-4+8

Combine like terms

y=x+4

Convert to function notation

f(x)=x+4
