Rationalize the denominator of $\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$. The answer can be written as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$, where $A$, $B$, $C$

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

$A +B+C+D = 3$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$

To find:

$A+B+C+D = ?$ if given term is written as following:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

<u>Solution:</u>

We can see that the resulting expression does not contain anything under $\sqrt$ (square root) so we need to rationalize the denominator to remove the square root from denominator.

The rule to rationalize is:

Any term having square root term in the denominator, multiply and divide with the expression by changing the sign of square root term of the denominator.

Applying this rule to rationalize the given expression:

$\dfrac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}} \times \dfrac{2-\sqrt6}{2-\sqrt6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5 \times (2-\sqrt6)}{(2+\sqrt{6}) \times (2-\sqrt6)} \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{2^2-(\sqrt6)^2}\ \ \ \ \ (\because \bold{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{4-6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-5\sqrt6+10}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5\sqrt6-10}{2}$

Comparing the above expression with:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

A = 5, B = 6 (Not divisible by square of any prime)

C = -10

D = 2 (positive)

GCD of A, C and D is 1.

So, $A +B+C+D = 5+6-10+2 = \bold3$

A doctor is measuring the average height of male students at a large college. The doctor measures the heights, in inches, of a s

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

There is a 95% confidence that the true mean height of all male student at the large college is between the interval (63.5, 74.4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean is:

$CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population parameter implies that there is a (1 - α) probability that the true value of the parameter is included in the interval.

Or, the (1 - α)% confidence interval for the parameter implies that there is (1 - α)% confidence or certainty that the true parameter value is contained in the interval.

The 95% confidence interval for the average height of male students at a large college is, (63.5 inches, 74.4 inches).

The 95% confidence interval for the average height of male students (63.5, 74.4) implies that, there is a 0.95 probability that the true mean height of all male student at the large college is between the interval (63.5, 74.4).

Or, there is a 95% confidence that the true mean height of all male student at the large college is between the interval (63.5, 74.4).

What is the first step in solving quadratic equations by finding square roots? a. give the positive and negative answer C. b. is

tangare [24]

The first step in solving quadratic equations by finding square roots is; C:square root both sides to isolate x

<h3>How to solve quadratic equations?</h3>

To answer this question, we will take an example of a quadratic equation that we need to find the square root as;

x² = 36

Now, to get the roots which are the values of x, we will first have to take the square root of both sides to Isolate x. Thus;

√x² = √36

x = ±6
