Rationalize the denominator of the following expression and simplify:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mama L [17]3 years ago

To "rationalize the denominator" is another way to say, getting rid of that pesky radical at the bottom.

we'll simply start by multiplying top and bottom by the "conjugate" of the denominator, recall difference of squares, anyhow, let's do so

\bf \cfrac{6+\sqrt{2}}{5-\sqrt{2}}\cdot \cfrac{5+\sqrt{2}}{5+\sqrt{2}}\implies \cfrac{(6+\sqrt{2})(5+\sqrt{2})}{(5-\sqrt{2})(5+\sqrt{2})}\implies \cfrac{(6+\sqrt{2})(5+\sqrt{2})}{5^2-(\sqrt{2})^2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{30+6\sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{2}+(\sqrt{2})^2}{25-2}\implies \cfrac{30+11\sqrt{2}+2}{23}\implies \cfrac{32+11\sqrt{2}}{23}

Jefferson Middle School needs to see a 300% gain in PTO fundraiser
Ronch [10]

Given parameters:

Percentage gain = 300%

Selling cost last year = $2420

Unknown:

Selling cost this year  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

     Profit percent  = \frac{Selling cost this year - Selling cost last year}{Selling cost last year} x 100

      300 = \frac{S - 2420}{2420}  x 100

      3 = \frac{S - 2420}{2420}

         S- 2420 = 7260

          S = $9680

To make a 300% gain, Jefferson Middle school needs a $9680 from fundraiser sales this year.
