Slav-nsk [51]4 years ago

Answer:

The equivalent fraction is:   \frac{5-\sqrt{10x} }{5-2x}  }

which agrees with the second answer in the list of options

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that in order to rationalize a denominator of this type (remove the square roots), we need to multiply numerator and denominator of the fraction we have by the conjugate of the binomial. That is, multiply top and bottom of the fraction by the expression:  

5-\sqrt{10\,x}

Therefore we have:

\frac{5}{5+\sqrt{10\,x} } =\frac{5\,(5-\sqrt{10x} )}{(5+\sqrt{10\,x})\,(5-\sqrt{10x})} =\frac{5\,(5-\sqrt{10x} )}{(25-10x)} }=\frac{5\,(5-\sqrt{10x} )}{5\,(5-2x)}  }=\frac{5-\sqrt{10x} }{5-2x}  }

Then this is the equivalent rationalized expression:

\frac{5-\sqrt{10x} }{5-2x}  }

Determine the mixed number that correctly adds 3/5, 5/8, and 15/32
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The answer of the addition of 3/5, 5/8 and 15/32 is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 + 5/8 + 15/32

We find the LCm of the denominators, that is, 5, 8 and 32

LCM = 5*32 = 160

[(160/5 + 3) + (160/8 + 5) + (160/32 + 15)]/160

[(32+3) + (20+5) + (5+15)]/160

[35+25+20]/160

80/160 = 1/2
