Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

This is because the 'principal square root' means the positive square root of a certain number, and so √16 = 4 × 4, making 4 the answer. This has a certain term for it as √16 could equal -4 also (-4 × -4 = 16).

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x^{2n}+10x^n+16=(x^n+2)(x^n+8)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}.\\\\x^{2n}+10x^n+16=(x^n)^2+10x^n+16=x^n\cdot x^n+2x^n+8x^n+16\\\\=x^n(x^n+2)+8(x^n+2)=(x^n+2)(x^n+8)$

The weight, w, of a spring in pounds is given by 0.9 times the square root of the energy, E, stored by the spring in joules. If

frutty [35]

For this case we have the following equation:
$w = 0.9* \sqrt{E}$
Where,
w: The weight of a spring in pounds
E: the energy stored by the spring in joules.
Substituting values we have:
$w = 0.9* \sqrt{12}$
Making the corresponding calculation:
$w=3.12$
Answer:
the approximate weight of the spring in pounds is:
$w=3.12$
