Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify something that looks like \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}} you would multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the bottom. So you multiply the top and bottom for this problem I just made by:

\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}.

If you had  \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}, then you would multiply top and bottom the conjugate of \sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b} which is \sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}.

The conjugate of a+b is a-b.

These have a term for it because when you multiply them something special happens.  The middle terms cancel so you only have to really multiply the first terms and the last terms.

Let's see:

(a+b)(a-b)

I'm going to use foil:

First:  a(a)=a^2

Outer: a(-b)=-ab

Inner:  b(a)=ab

Last:    b(-b)=-b^2

--------------------------Adding.

a^2-b^2

See -ab+ab canceled so all you had to do was the "first" and "last" of foil.

This would get rid of square roots if a and b had them because they are being squared.

Anyways the conjugate of \sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2} is

\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}.

This is the thing we are multiplying and top and bottom.

For this case we have the following expression:

\frac {3} {\sqrt {17} - \sqrt {2}}

We must rationalize the expression, so we multiply by:

\frac {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}}

So, we have:

\frac {3} {\sqrt {17} - \sqrt {2}} * \frac {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} =\\\frac {3 (\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {17- \sqrt {17} * \sqrt {2} + \sqrt {17} * \sqrt {2} -2} =\\\frac {3 (\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {15}

Thus, the correct option is option B.

Answer:

OPTION B

√−100 = ___ +_____i<br> ...
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this as

\sqrt{(-1)(100)}

Knowing that i-squared = -1:

\sqrt{(i^2)(100)}

Both i-squared and 100 are perfect squares, so this simplifies to

±10i

Cone B is the image of cone A after dilation by a scale factor of \frac{1}{2}
Bogdan [553]

The surface area of cone B is 10 km², and Cone B is the image of cone A after dilation by a scale factor of 1/2

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Cone B is the image of cone A after dilation by a scale factor of 1/2, hence:

Surface area of cone B = 40 km² * (1/2)² = 10 km²

The surface area of cone B is 10 km², and Cone B is the image of cone A after dilation by a scale factor of 1/2
