10. simplify the rational expression by rationalizing the denominator.( 1 point ) 4√150/√189x

ddd [48]

Rationalizing the denominator, simply means "getting rid of that pesky root at the bottom", and we do so by simply multiplying it by something to take it out, of course, we multiply the bottom, we have to also multiply the top,

$\bf \cfrac{4\sqrt{150}}{\sqrt{189x}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{189x}}{\sqrt{189x}}\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt{150}\sqrt{189x}}{(\sqrt{189x})^2}\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt{(150)({189x})}}{189x}$

$\bf \cfrac{4\sqrt{28350x}}{189x}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
28350=2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 5\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot 3^2\cdot 3^2\cdot 5^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot (3^2)^2\cdot 5^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot (3^2\cdot 5)^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot (45)^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 14\cdot 45^2
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt{14\cdot 45^2}}{189x}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4\cdot 45\sqrt{14}}{189}\implies \cfrac{180\sqrt{14}}{189x}\implies \cfrac{20\sqrt{14}}{21x}$

Can someone help me on this ? its Algebra 1 on exponents

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically, $V=lwh$ . You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute $l=x, w= \frac{x}{2},h= \frac{x}{3}$ into the formula for volume. You get $(x)( \frac{x}{2})( \frac{x}{3} )$ , and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get $\frac{(x)(x)(x)}{(1)(2)(3)} = \frac{x^3}{6}$ . It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule $x^{-n}= \frac{1}{x^n}$ , if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that $\frac{1}{6} = 6^{-1}$ . For your final answer, you write $6^{-1}x^3$ . This corresponds to answer choice B.
