$\frac{4}{\sqrt{21}} =\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{\sqrt{21}\sqrt{21}} =\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{21}$

I think

$\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{21}}$

is about as simple as this is going to get. For some reason teachers like the radicals in the numerator, so we multiply top and bottom by $\sqrt{21}$ and get

$\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{21}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{21}}{\sqrt{21}} = \dfrac{4\sqrt{21}}{21}$

Answer: $\dfrac{4\sqrt{21}}{21}$

Find the inverse of the function y = 2x^2 + 2.

kupik [55]

Answer:

its the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

easy way to do inverse functions:

write out equation :

y = 2 $x^{2}$ + 2

Switch the x and y:

x = 2 $y^{2}$ + 2

Solve for y :

x = 2 $y^{2}$ + 2

subtract 2 both sides

x - 2 = 2 $y^{2}$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{x}{2}$ - $\frac{2}{2}$ = $y^{2}$

reduce fraction and square root both sides

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bullfrogs in the population.

We have been given that in a study of the population density of bullfrogs, 25 are captured and marked in the first sampling. Five days later, 30 frogs are captured, 10 of which have marks.

We will use proportion to solve our given problem as:

$\frac{\text{Number of total bullfrogs}}{\text{Number of marked bullfrogs}}=\frac{30}{10}$
