Answer:

√a(√a + 2) a - 2√a

----------------- = -----------------

a - 4 a - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that by "sqrt(a)/sqrt(a)-2" you meant:

√a

----------

√a - 2

To rationalize the denom., multiply numerator and denom. of this fraction by the conjugate of √a - 2, which is √a + 2:

√a(√a + 2)

-----------------

a - 4

George had one sheet of paper. He cut it into 6" x 5", and 3" x 6". What were the dimensions and total area of his original shee

Deffense [45]

Answer: $l={8}'' ,b={6}''$ , $l={6}'' ,b={8}''$

and area is $=48$ inch square

Step-by-step explanation:

area of sheet $=l\times b$

area of sheet first $={6}''\times {5}''$

$=30$ inch square

area of sheet second $={3}''\times {6}''$

$=18$ inch square

total area of both sheet $=30+18$

$=48$ inch square

area of sheet $=l\times b$

$=48$ inch square

$l={6}'' ,b={8}''$

$l={8}'' ,b={6}''$

perimeter of sheet

$=2\left ( l+b \right )$

$=2(6+8)$

$={28}''$

17. What expression is equivalent to log(200) - log (2)? Calculate the answer.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall from the laws of Logarithms:

Log a - Log b = Log ( a/b )

That means

Log 200 - Log 2 = Log ( 200/2)

= Log 100 , which could be written as

Log $10^{2}$

Recall from laws of Logarithms:

Log $a^{b}$ = b Log a

Therefore:

Log $10^{2}$ = 2 Log 10

Also from law of Logarithm

Log 10 = 1

Therefore 2 Log 10 = 2 x 1

= 2

A population of 200 animals has a growth rate of 1.03% each year. at this growth rate, the function f(x)=200(1.03)^x gives the p

Y_Kistochka [10]

For this case, the first thing we should do is use the following equation:
f (x) = 200 (1.03) ^ x
We substitute f (x) = 300:
300 = 200 (1.03) ^ x
We clear the value of x:
log1.03 (300/200) = log1.03 ((1.03) ^ x)
x = log1.03 (300/200)
x = 13.72
Answer:
the population will first reach 300 in about 13.72 years.
