Root 25 is the rational number as it equals 5
The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.
(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0
Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0
Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13
Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3
Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3

Step-by-step explanation:
There are 60 seconds in a minute. This fact can be used to convert the time period(s) to minutes and seconds either before or after you do the subtraction.
<h3>Difference</h3>
It is often convenient to do arithmetic with all of the numbers having the same units. Here, we are given two values in seconds and asked for their difference.
100 s - 87 s = (100 -87) s = 13 s
The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.
<h3>Conversion</h3>
If you like, the numbers can be converted to minutes and seconds before the subtraction. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, the number of minutes is found by dividing seconds by 60. The remainder is the number of seconds that will be added to the time in minutes:
87 seconds = ⌊87/60⌋ minutes + (87 mod 60) seconds
= 1 minute 27 seconds
100 seconds = ⌊100/60⌋ minutes + (100 mod 60) seconds
= 1 minute 40 seconds
Then the difference is found in the same way we would find a difference involving different variables. (A unit can be treated as though it were a variable.)
(1 min 40 s) -(1 min 27 s) = (1 -1 min) + (40-27 s) = 0 min 13 s
The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.
Since there are equal numbers of pieces, the chances of Julio getting a red on the first pull is 12/24 or 1/2 (reduced)
However on the second pull there are only 11 reds (Julio pulled one out) out of 23 remaining pieces so the chances of pulling the second red are 11/23
Now multiply those possibilities:
1/2 x 11/23 and you will get 11/46 which is the probability of pulling two reds in a row. 11/46 is the answer.
