The purity of gold is measured in​ karats, with pure gold being 24 karats. Other purities of gold are expressed as proportional

parts of pure gold. Thus​ 18-karat gold is StartFraction 18 Over 24 EndFraction 18 24​, or​ 75% pure​ gold; 12-karat gold is StartFraction 12 Over 24 EndFraction 12 24​, or​ 50% pure​ gold; and so on. How much 1212​-karat gold should be mixed with pure gold to obtain 3030 grams of 2222​-karat ​gold?

Which choices are equivalent to the expression below? Check all that apply.<br> 5 square root 3
blsea [12.9K]

Option A: \sqrt{75}

Option C: \sqrt{15} \cdot \sqrt{5}

Option F: \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{3}

Solution:

Given expression is 5 \sqrt{3}.

Option A: \sqrt{75}

\sqrt{75}=\sqrt{25\times3}

       =\sqrt{5^2\times3}

       =5\sqrt{3}

Hence \sqrt{75} is equivalent expression of 5 \sqrt{3}.

Option B: \sqrt{45}

\sqrt{45}=\sqrt{9\times5}

       =\sqrt{3^2\times5}

       =3\sqrt{5}

Hence \sqrt{45} is not equivalent expression of 5 \sqrt{3}.

Option C: \sqrt{15} \cdot \sqrt{5}

\sqrt{15} \cdot \sqrt{5}=\sqrt{15\times5}

              =\sqrt{75}

              =5\sqrt{3}    (proved in option A)

Hence \sqrt{15} \cdot \sqrt{5} is equivalent expression of 5 \sqrt{3}.

Option D: \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{5}

\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{5}=\sqrt{3\times5}

            =\sqrt{15}

Hence \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{5} is not equivalent expression of 5 \sqrt{3}.

Option E: 75

75 is a whole number.

Hence 75 is not equivalent expression of 5 \sqrt{3}.

Option F: \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{3}

\sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{3}=\sqrt{25\times3}

              =\sqrt{75}

              =5\sqrt{3}    (proved in option A)

Hence \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{3} is equivalent expression of 5 \sqrt{3}.

Therefore, \sqrt{75},\ \  \sqrt{15} \cdot \sqrt{5}, \  \ \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{3} are all equivalent expressions of 5 \sqrt{3}.

3. Write an expression using the fewest terms possible that is equivalent to x+x+x+x-20
Igoryamba

Answer:

4x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms (those with the same amount of variables:

x + x + x + x = 4x

4x - 20 => Note: You cannot combine these two terms, because they do not have the same amount of variables (one having one variable (x), the other being a constant (no variable) ).

A line segment is 20 units long. If the line segment is translated up 6 units and left 8 units, which statement is true? The len
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

"The length of the resulting line segment is 20 units because translations preserve length"

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation, in maths, is the movements of a geometric shape/line in certain direction. There is no rotation, re-sizing, or alteration. It simply "moves" the line/shape in a direction. The length is not altered in any way. Translation preserves length, every point just changes place.

When we translate a figure/line, we are simply moving it elsewhere, keeping all else constant.

In this problem, the line segment at hand is 20 units and it is translated 6 units up and 8 units left. So the location of the line changes, but the length is preserved. So, 2nd answer choice is right:

"The length of the resulting line segment is 20 units because translations preserve length"
