It would be 18 because you have to add 2+4=8 then you and 10. So your answer would be 18 pieces.

If(√14/√7-2)-(√14/√7+2)=a√7+b√2 find the values of a and b where a and b are rational numbers

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a = 4/3 and b = 0

============================

<h2>Given expression:</h2>

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}-2} -\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}+2}$

<h2>Simplify it in steps:</h2>

<h3>Step 1</h3>

Bring both fractions into common denominator:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} - \dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}-2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)}$

<h3>Step 2</h3>

Simplify:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} ((\sqrt{7}+2) - (\sqrt{7}-2))}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2 - \sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7})^2-2^2} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{7-4} =$

$\dfrac{4}{3} \sqrt{14} }$

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Compare the result with given expression to get:

a = 4/3 and b = 0

The diagram shows a square pizza box with side lengths of 18 inches. In the box is a circular pizza with a radius of 8 inches. W

kotegsom [21]

There is a difference of 123 square inches between the pizza box and the pizza.

18x18=324
pi8^2=201.0619

324-201=123

Find the value of k such that lim-->4 (x^2+x-k)/(x-4) exists

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

k=20

Step-by-step explanation:

when x approaches 4, the denominator x-4 approaches 0

if the denominator is 0, it means that this is invalid

if the function is a number over 0 when x=4, it represents a vertical asymptote, which means no limit

so the only way possible to let there be a limit is to let the function be 0/0 when we plug in x=4

so x^2 + x - k = 0 when x = 4

4^2 + 4 - k = 0 ==> 20 - k = 0 ==> k = 20

write the slope-intercept form of the line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -4. include your work in your final answer.

IgorLugansk [536]

I cant really show you how to graph this but i can try to explain it. you would make a 4 quadrant graph and do rise over run.
1)start by making the graph
2) on the line of the graph marked Y is where you would put -4
3) From -4, you would go up (rise) by 2 and go over to the right 1 where you end is the slop
