Rationalize the denominator of $\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$. The answer can be written as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$, where $A$, $B$, $C$

, and $D$ are integers, $D$ is positive, and $B$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. If the greatest common divisor of $A$, $C$, and $D$ is 1, find $A+B+C+D$.

Answer:

A +B+C+D  = 3 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$

To find:

A+B+C+D = ? if given term is written as following:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

<u>Solution:</u>

We can see that the resulting expression does not contain anything under \sqrt (square root) so we need to rationalize the denominator to remove the square root from denominator.

The rule to rationalize is:

Any term having square root term in the denominator, multiply and divide with the expression by changing the sign of square root term of the denominator.

Applying this rule to rationalize the given expression:

\dfrac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}} \times \dfrac{2-\sqrt6}{2-\sqrt6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5 \times (2-\sqrt6)}{(2+\sqrt{6}) \times (2-\sqrt6)} \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{2^2-(\sqrt6)^2}\ \ \ \ \   (\because \bold{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{4-6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-5\sqrt6+10}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5\sqrt6-10}{2}

Comparing the above expression with:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

A = 5, B = 6 (Not divisible by square of any prime)

C = -10

D = 2 (positive)

GCD of A, C and D is 1.

So, A +B+C+D = 5+6-10+2 = \bold3

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> What is the inverse of h?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 6x + 1

y = 6x + 1

switch x and y

x = 6y + 1

solve for y

6y = x - 1

y = (x-1) / 6

if PQ || RS and the slope of PQ= x-1/4 and the slope of RS is 3/8 then find the value of x justify algebraically and numerically
Artemon [7]

The value of x is 5/8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Given,

  • The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
  • slope of PQ= x-1/4
  • slope of RS = 3/8

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

slope of PQ = slope of RS

⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8

⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8

⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)

⇒ 32x-8 = 12

⇒ 32x = 20

x = 20/32

x = 5/8

5 / (x - 3) <== ur expression

the product means multiply....decreased means subtract
the product of a number and 20 decreased by 11..
20x - 11 <== ur expression

the difference means subtract

What part of the circumference is an arc whose measure is 30°?<br> 1/12<br> 1/10<br> 1/8<br> 1/6
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole circumference (i.e complete circle) is an arc which measures 360°

in our case, it is given that our arc measures only 30°

the fraction of our arc of 30° to the complete circle of 360° is

30/360

= 3/36

= 1/12
