Which statement describes a process to solve sqrt b+20 - sqrt b=5?

Mathematics

babunello [35]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

√b+20 - √b = 5

The first step is we will add √b to both sides:

√b+20 -√b +√b = 5 +√b

√b+20 = 5+√b

Now take square at both sides:

(√b+20)^2 = (5+√b)^2

b+20 = 25+10√b+b

Now combine the like terms:

b+20-25-b=10√b

-5 = 10√b

Divide both the terms by 10

-5/10 = 10√b/10

-1/2=√b

Take square at both sides:

(-1/2)^2 = (√b)^2

1/4 = b

So in this type of question we add radical terms to both sides and square both sides twice....

Ron has a bag containing 3 green pears and 4 red pears. He randomly selects a pear then randomly selects another pear, without r
denpristay [2]
The third tree diagram is correct.

The probabilities for the first draw are 3/7 for green and 4/7 for red.

If you draw a green pear first, then your probabilities for the second pear would be 2/6 for green and 4/6 for red (since it is done without replacement, the number of pears to choose from changes).

If you draw a red pear first, then your probabilities for the second pear would be 3/6 for green and 3/6 for red.

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −5 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x. (
True [87]
So it tells us that g(3) = -5 and g'(x) = x^2 + 7.

So g(3) = -5 is the point (3, -5)
Using linear approximation
g(2.99) is the point (2.99, g(3) + g'(3)*(2.99-3))

now we just need to simplify that
(2.99, -5 + (16)*(-.01)) which is (2.99, -5 + -.16) which is (2.99, -5.16)
So g(2.99) = -5.16 

Doing the same thing for the other g(3.01)
(3.01, g(3) + g'(3)*(3.01-3))
(3.01, -5 + 16*.01) which is (3.01, -4.84)
So g(3.01) = -4.84

So we have our linear approximation for the two. 

If you wanted to, you could check your answer by finding g(x).  Since you know g'(x), take the antiderivative and we will get 
g(x) = 1/3x^3 + 7x + C
Since we know g(3) = -5, we can use that to solve for C
1/3(3)^3 + 7(3) + C = -5 and we find that C = -35
so that means g(x) = (x^3)/3 + 7x - 35

So just to check our linear approximations use that to find g(2.99) and g(3.01)

g(2.99) = -5.1597
g(3.01) = -4.8397

So as you can see, using the linear approximation we got our answers as
g(2.99) = -5.16
g(3.01) = -4.84
which are both really close to the actual answer.  Not a bad method if you ever need to use it.
