Which is the simplest radical form of √52?

1 answer:

4 0

Short answer: 2 * sqrt(13)
Remark
There are a number of ways to look at this. I'll pick the easiest.

Step one
Factor 52 until there are no more prime factors to be used.

52 = 2 * 26
52 = 2 * 2 * 13. That's as far as you can go.

Rule
For every 2 equal prime factors, 1 of them can be taken out side of the root sign. The other one disappears.

sqrt(52) = sqrt(2*2* 13) = 2*sqrt(13)

Answer 2sqrt(13) <<<< answer

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf\:x^{2}-3x+7=0$

Use the biquadratic formula.

$\sf\:\x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)(+/-)\sqrt{\left(-3\right)^{2}-4\times 7}}{2}$

$\sf\:x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)(+/-)\sqrt{9-4\times 7}}{2}$

$\sf\:x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)(+/-)\sqrt{9-28}}{2}$

$\sf\:x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)(+/-)\sqrt{-19}}{2}$

$\sf\:x=\frac{3(+/-)\sqrt{19}}{2}$

Positive sign:

$\boxed{\sf\:x=\frac{3+\sqrt{19}}{2}}$

Negative sign:

$\boxed{\sf\:x=\frac{3-\sqrt{19}}{2}}$

Your grandmother always has a jar of cookies on her counter. One day while you are visiting, you eat 5 cookies from the jar. In

stepan [7]

Answer:

b - 5 = c

Step-by-step explanation:

if you take the number of cookies before the visit (B) and then you eat 5, that would be (B - 5). after you eat the cookies, C is the amount left. so it’s a subtraction problem without 2 numbers. so the equation would be

b - 5 = c

before - 5 = after

Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations In Exercise, solve for x.<br> 500(1.075)120x = 100.000

Volgvan

Answer:

The solution is:

$x = 0.61$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this equation is placing everything with the exponential to one side of the equality, and everything without the exponential to the other side. So

$500(1.075)^{120x} = 100000$
