<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

Can someone plz help me with this and i need the drawing to show work
Burka [1]

Answer:

20.833 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The light reflects off the mirror at the same angle that it hits it at.  So the triangle formed by the beam and mirror is similar to the triangle formed by Kevin and the mirror.

Therefore, we can write and solve a proportion.

h / 10 = 6.25 / 3

h = 20.833

The beam is 20.833 feet tall.
