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

Perform the following operation

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

When you multiply an odd number of negatives you get a negative result. When you multiply an even number of negatives you get a positive result.

First, multiply normally.

25x10x5

1100

Then determine whether the sign is positive or negative. Since there is an odd number of negatives, the sign is negative.

So, the answer is -1100.

If f(x) = 2x+4, which of the following is the inverse of f(x)?

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

${f}^{ - 1} (x)= \frac{x}{2} - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x) = 2x + 4$ Let

$y = 2x + 4$

Interchange x and y.

$x = 2y + 4$

Solve for y,

$x - 4 = 2y$

Divide both sides by 2

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

Therefore;

${f}^{ - 1} (x)= \frac{x}{2} - 2$
