<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

x=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}

Now we are asked to find the value of:

\sqrt{x}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}

We know that:

(\sqrt{x}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}})^2=x+\dfrac{1}{x}-2

Also:

x=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}} could be written as:

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

since, we know that:

(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

Hence,

x=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{3-2}\\\\\\x=\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}

Also,

\dfrac{1}{x}=\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}

Hence, we get:

(\sqrt{x}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}})^2=\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}-2\\\\\\(\sqrt{x}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}})^2=2\sqrt{3}-2\\\\\\\sqrt{x}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt{2\sqrt{3}-2}

Hence,

       \sqrt{x}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt{2\sqrt{3}-2}

Ques 2)

x=\dfrac{\sqrt{a+2b}+\sqrt{a-2b}}{\sqrt{a+2b}-\sqrt{a-2b}}

on multiplying and dividing by conjugate of denominator we get:

x=\dfrac{\sqrt{a+2b}+\sqrt{a-2b}}{\sqrt{a+2b}-\sqrt{a-2b}}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{a+2b}+\sqrt{a-2b}}{\sqrt{a+2b}+\sqrt{a-2b}}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{(\sqrt{a+2b}+\sqrt{a-2b})^2}{(\sqrt{a+2b})^2-(\sqrt{a-2b})^2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{(\sqrt{a+2b})^2+(\sqrt{a-2b})^2+2\sqrt{a+2b}\sqrt{a-2b}}{a+2b-a+2b}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{a+2b+a-2b+2\sqrt{a+2b}\sqrt{a-2b}}{4b}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{2a+2\sqrt{a^2-4b^2}}{4b}\\\\\\x^2=(\dfrac{2a+2\sqrt{a^2-4b^2}}{4b})^2\\\\\\x^2=\dfrac{(2a+2\sqrt{a^2-4b^2})^2}{16b^2}

Hence, we have:

x^2=\dfrac{4a^2+4(a^2-4b^2)+8a\sqrt{a^2-4b^2}}{16b^2}\\\\\\x^2=\dfrac{4a^2+4a^2-16b^2+8a\sqrt{a^2-4b^2}}{16b^2}\\\\\\\\x^2=\dfrac{8a^2-16b^2+8a\sqrt{a^2-4b^2}}{16b^2}\\\\\\bx^2=\dfrac{8a^2-16b^2+8a\sqrt{a^2-4b^2}}{16b}\\\\\\bx^2=\dfrac{8a(a+\sqrt{a^2-4b^2})-16b^2}{16b}\\\\\\bx^2=\dfrac{8a(a+\sqrt{a^2-4b^2})}{16b}-\dfrac{16b^2}{16b}\\\\\\bx^2=\dfrac{a(a+\sqrt{a^2-4b^2})}{2b}-b\\\\\\bx^2=ax-b\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\bx^2-ax+b=0

The radius of a cylindrical gift box is ​(4x + 1​) inches. The height of the gift box is three times the radius. What is the sur
user100 [1]

Answer:

S = 128πx² + 64πx + 8π

Step-by-step explanation:

Suraface area of a cylinder is given by:

S = 2πrh + 2πr²

We know that the height is 3 times as big as the radius, hence:

h = 3r

so we can plug in the new h value and rewrite the S equation as:

S = 2πrh + 2πr²

S = 2πr(3r) + 2πr²

S = 6πr² + 2πr²

S = 8πr²

We're given in the question that the radius is ​(4x + 1​) inches, so plug that into r.

Given: r = 4x + 1​

Therefore,

S = 8πr²

S = 8π(4x + 1​)²

S = 8π(16x²+8x+1)

S = 128πx² + 64πx + 8π

What is the value of x?<br><br> A. 4<br><br> B. 4√3<br><br> C. 8<br><br> D. 8√3
SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. 4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin \: 60 \degree =  \frac{x}{8}  \\  \\  \therefore \:  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}  = \frac{x}{8} \\  \\  \therefore \: x =  \frac{8 \times  \sqrt{3} }{2} \\  \\  \therefore \: x =  4 \times  \sqrt{3}\\  \\  \huge \purple{ \boxed{ \therefore \: x =  4 \sqrt{3} }}\\

A line passes through the point (-4,-5) and had a slope of 5/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form
daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

as we have a point and the slope, we can start with the point-slope form and then transform.

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

(x1, y1) being a point on the line, a being the slope.

the slope-interceot form is

y = ax + b

a being the slope again, b being the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, we have

y - -5 = 5/2 × (x - -4)

y + 5 = 5/2 × (x + 4) = 5x/2 + 5×4/2 = 5x/2 + 10

y = 5x/2 + 5

or

y = (5/2)x + 5

and this is already the slope-intercept form. all done.
