Answer:

a = - 3 and b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{8-\sqrt{18} }{\sqrt{2} }

Simplify \sqrt{18}

= \sqrt{9(2)} = \sqrt{9} × \sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{2}

Thus expression can be written as

\frac{8-3\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }

Multiply numerator/denominator by \sqrt{2}

noting that \sqrt{2} × \sqrt{2} = 2

= \frac{\sqrt{2}(8-3\sqrt{2})  }{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2})  }

= \frac{8\sqrt{2}-6 }{2}

Dividing each term on the numerator by 2

= 4\sqrt{2} - 3

= - 3 + 4\sqrt{2}

with a = - 3 and b = 4

Answer:

a = -3, b = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

(8 - √18) / √2

= (8 - 3√2) √2

= 8/√2  - 3

=  8√2 / 2 - 3

= -3 + 4√2

So  a + b√2 = -3 + 4√2

Comparing coefficients we have:

a = -3 and b = 4 (answer).

How do you do number 1?<br>Whenever I tried to answer it, I always get fraction. help me.​
Flura [38]

Answer:

The pairs are (13,15) and (-15,-13).

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is an odd integer, the very next odd integer will be n+2.

n+1 is even (so we aren't using this number)

The sum of the squares of (n) and (n+2) is 394.

This means

(n)^2+(n+2)^2=394

n^2+(n+2)(n+2)=394

n^2+n^2+4n+4=394               since (a+b)(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2

Combine like terms:

2n^2+4n+4=394

Subtract 394 on both sides:

2n^2+4n-390=0

Divide both sides by 2:

n^2+2n-195=0

Now we need to find two numbers that multiply to be -195 and add up to be 2.

15 and -13 since 15(-13)=-195 and 15+(-13)=2

So the factored form is

(n+15)(n-13)=0

This means we have n+15=0 and n-13=0 to solve.

n+15=0

Subtract 15 on both sides:

n=-15

n-13=0

Add 13 on both sides:

n=13

So if n=13 , then n+2=15.

If n=-15, then n+2=-13.

Let's check both results

(n,n+2)=(13,15)

13^2+15^2=169+225=394.  So (13,15) looks good!

(n,n+2)=(-15,-13)

(-15)^2+(-13)^2=225+169=394.  So (-15,-13) looks good!
