Part a)
we have that
<span>√72
</span>√72-----> √(2*36)=√2*√36 is not 2*√36------> this is the error
√2*√36=√2*√6²-----> √2*(6)----> 6√2
<span>
</span><span>alternative method</span><span>
72 is equal to-------> 2</span>³*3²
therefore
√72-----> √[2³*3²]----->√ 2³*√3²-------> (2√2)*(3)-----> 6√2

Part b)<span>Estimate the square root of 72 to the nearest tenth
</span>
we know that
√2 is equal to 1.41
so
√72=6√2------> 6*1.41-----> 8.46----> 8.5

the answer Part b) is 8.5

There are 20 black, 15 white, 12 green, 12 red, 9 blue and 2 yellow candies in a box. How many candies should you take (without
kow [346]
<h3>Answer:  13</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

The best case scenario is that you get 3 of the same color in a row on the first three attempts. The lower bound is 3.

However, we have to consider the worst case scenario when we want to guarantee something like this, without looking at the candies we selected.

Consider the case of something like this sequence:

  1. black
  2. white
  3. green
  4. red
  5. blue
  6. yellow
  7. black
  8. white
  9. green
  10. red
  11. blue
  12. yellow
  13. black

As you can see above, I've listed the colors in the order presented by your teacher. I pick one candy at a time. Once I reach yellow, I restart the cycle. In slots 1, 7 and 13, we have a black candy selected. This example shows that we must make 13 selections to guarantee that we get at least 3 candies of the same color (that color being black). The order of the candies selected doesn't matter. We could easily use any other color except yellow to do this example. The black candy just happened to be the first listed, so I went with that.

Note how we have 6 unique colors in the set {black, white, green, red, blue, yellow}. If we pick 2 candies of each color, then we've selected 6*2 = 12 candies so far. That 13th candy (some color other than yellow) is guaranteed to be a color we already selected; therefore, we'll be guaranteed to have 3 of the same color. We won't know what color it is but we will know we have a match like this.

If a Play Station was bought for $450 after a 10% discount what was the original price of the Play Station?
Gemiola [76]
If it was bought after 10% discount, it means it was bought at 90% of the original price:
90% = $450 
1% = $5
100% = $5 x 100
100% = $500

The original price of the Play Station was $500.

What is the approximate solution to the equation 2^t =38
timurjin [86]

2^t =38

take the log of each side

log ( 2^t) = log (38)

the exponent gets multiplies

t log (2) = log (38)

divide by log 2

t = log(38)/log (2)

t≈5.2479
