<u>Answer</u>
√7 × √5
√3 × √2
<u>Explanation</u>
√9*√16 = 3 × 4
= 12
= 12/1 ⇒ It is a rational answer.
√7*√5 = √(7×5)
= √35
= 5.916079783.... ⇒ Irrational
√3*√2 = √(3×2)
= √6
= 2.449489743... ⇒ Irrational
4√2*√2 = 4 × √(2×2)
= 4 × √4
= 4 × 2
= 8
= 8/1 ⇒ It is rational
The expressions that would give irrational answers are: √7*√5 and√3*√2
7(x - 3) + 3(4 - x) = -8
7x - 21 + 12 - 3x = -8
7x - 3x = -8 + 21 - 12
4x = 1
x = 1/4

Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5) * x² = x³ - 5x² Subtract
____________________________
-6x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5) * (-6x) = -6x² + 30x Subtract
____________________________
8x - 40
(x - 5) * 8 = 8x - 40 Sutract
____________________________
0
Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)
Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.
x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
= x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) =
= x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
= (x - 4)(x - 2)
Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = 5 or x = 4 or x = 2
