I believe

Father= 40

Son=10

I researched this and it’s really confusing. I’m not sure how to explain it to you, but I might be able to send you screenshots of what I’ve seen if you would like. If this is wrong please let me know. I hope this helps!!

You just found a positive trend line showing a strong relationship between homework scores and test scores for five students. Ex

Scrat [10]

The positive trend among the homework scores and the test scores would reveal that if a student does well in homework, he is likely to do well in exams. This can be explained in the sense that the homework will serve as the practice for the student before finally taking the exam.

28 more than a number ?

siniylev [52]

Answer:

28 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

To write this as an expression, you need to find out what sign you need to use ( multiplication, division,etc.)

More than means to add so you are using an addition sign. Now you need a variable to represent the number.

You can pick any letter but for this I am using x. When you put that all together you get the expression, 28 + x.

Observe that

$\left(\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x}\right)^2 = \left(\sqrt x\right)^2 - 2\sqrt x\dfrac1{\sqrt x} + \left(\dfrac1{\sqrt x}\right)^2 = x - 2 + \dfrac1x$

Now,

$x = 9 - 4\sqrt5 \implies \dfrac1x = \dfrac1{9-4\sqrt5} = \dfrac{9 + 4\sqrt5}{9^2 - \left(4\sqrt5\right)^2} = 9 + 4\sqrt5$

so that

$\left(\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x}\right)^2 = (9 - 4\sqrt5) - 2 + (9 + 4\sqrt5) = 16$

$\implies \sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} = \pm\sqrt{16} = \pm 4$

To decide which is the correct value, we need to examine the sign of $\sqrt x - \frac1{\sqrt x}$ . It evaluates to 0 if

$\sqrt x = \dfrac1{\sqrt x} \implies x = 1$

We have

$9 - 4\sqrt5 = \sqrt{81} - \sqrt{16\cdot5} = \sqrt{81} - \sqrt{80} > 0$

Also,

$\sqrt{81} - \sqrt{64} = 9 - 8 = 1$

and $\sqrt x$ increases as $x$ increases, which means

$0 < 9 - 4\sqrt5 < 1$

Therefore for all $0 < x < 1$ ,

$\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} < 0$

For example, when $x=\frac14$ , we get

$\sqrt{\dfrac14} - \dfrac1{\sqrt{\frac14}} = \dfrac1{\sqrt4} - \sqrt4 = \dfrac12 - 2 = -\dfrac32 < 0$

Then the target expression has a negative sign at the given value of $x$ :

$x = 9-4\sqrt5 \implies \sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} = \boxed{-4}$

Alternatively, we can try simplifying $\sqrt x$ by denesting the radical. Let $a,b,c$ be non-zero integers ( $c>0$ ) such that

$\sqrt{9 - 4\sqrt5} = a + b\sqrt c$

Note that the left side must be positive.

Taking squares on both sides gives

$9 - 4\sqrt5 = a^2 + 2ab\sqrt c + b^2c$

Let $c=5$ and $ab=-2$ . Then

$a^2+5b^2=9 \implies a^2 + 5\left(-\dfrac2a\right)^2 = 9 \\\\ \implies a^2 + \dfrac{20}{a^2} = 9 \\\\ \implies a^4 + 20 = 9a^2 \\\\ \implies a^4 - 9a^2 + 20 = 0 \\\\ \implies (a^2 - 4) (a^2 - 5) = 0 \\\\ \implies a^2 = 4 \text{ or } a^2 = 5$

$a^2 = 4 \implies 5b^2 = 5 \implies b^2 = 1$

$a^2 = 5 \implies 5b^2 = 4 \implies b^2 = \dfrac45$

Only the first case leads to integer coefficients. Since $ab=-2$ , one of $a$ or $b$ must be negative. We have

$a^2 = 4 \implies a = 2 \text{ or } a = -2$

Now if $a=2$ , then $b=-1$ , and

$\sqrt{9 - 4\sqrt5} = 2 - \sqrt5$

However, $\sqrt5 > \sqrt4 = 2$ , so $2-\sqrt5$ is negative, so we don't want this.

Instead, if $a=-2$ , then $b=1$ , and thus

$\sqrt{9 - 4\sqrt5} = -2 + \sqrt5$

Then our target expression evaluates to

$\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} = -2 + \sqrt5 - \dfrac1{-2 + \sqrt5} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -2 + \sqrt5 - \dfrac{-2 - \sqrt5}{(-2)^2 - \left(\sqrt5\right)^2} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -2 + \sqrt5 + \dfrac{2 + \sqrt5}{4 - 5} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -2 + \sqrt5 - (2 + \sqrt5) = \boxed{-4}$
