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

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 dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 5 miles less than its length and whose area is 66 square miles

Lyrx [107]

A = l * w
66 = l * (l - 5)
66 = $l^{2}$ -5l
0 = $l^{2}$ -5l - 66

l = 11 or 6 check which works.

A = 11 * 6, which fits.

length = 11 miles
width = 5 miles

You owe $10,000 on a car loan. The bank charges a compound interest rate of 9.5% per year. If you don't make any payments on the

kipiarov [429]

Ya

compound interest
A=P(1+r)^t
A=amount final
P=principal
r=rate in decimal
t=time in yers

so

interest is 9.5% or 0.095
principal is 10000
time is 3 years
A=10000(1+0.095)^3
A=10000(1.095)^3
A=13129.323
rounded
he owes $13129.32
