A student’s work to simplify and combine radicals is shown below. Select the statement which best applies to the sample mathemat

ical work.
Given 4√50-2√8, I observe that √50=√20*2 and √8=√4*2, and that 25 and 4 are perfect squares, so I simplify the expression to 100√2-8√2. I can then combine these terms to get 92√2, which is my answer.

Your answer is incorrect. You forgot to get the square root of 25 and 4. Answer should be 16√2

we can only subtract radicals that are the same. At first glance, 4√50 - 2√8 are not the same, so they are not likely to be subtracted. However, each radical can still be simplified.

4 √50 = 4 √25 * 2 = 4 * 5 √2 = 20 √2
2 √8   = 2 √4 * 2   = 2 * 2 √2 =   4 √2

Now that the radicals are the same. then you can subtract the numbers.

20 √2 - 4 √2 = 16√2

The main cable of a suspension bridge forms a parabola, described by the equation y = a(x - h)2 + k, where y is the height in fe
nirvana33 [79]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

When x = 30 ft, the cable is at 15 ft, therefore y(30) = 15.
That is,
a(30 - h)² + k = 15            (1)

Also, because the distance between the supports is 90 ft, therefore
y(0) = 6 ft, and y(90) = 6 ft
That is,
a(-h)² + k = 6                 (2)
a(90 - h)² + k = 6          (3)

From (2) and (3), obtain
a(90 - h)² = ah²
90² - 180h + h² = h²
180h = 90²
h = 45 ft.

From (1) and (2), obtain
225a + k = 15
2025a + k = 6

Therefore
1800a = -9
a = - 0.005
k = 15 - 225(-0.005) = 16.125 ft

Answer:
The equation for the cable is
y = - 0.005(x - 45)² + 16.125 

A graph of the solution verifies that the solution is correct.
