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

A botanist collected one leaf at random from each of 10 randomly selected mature maple trees of the same species. The mean and t
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

One sample t-test for population mean would be the most appropriate method.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following is the data which botanist collected and can use:

  • Sample mean
  • Sample Standard Deviation
  • Sample size (Which is 10)
  • Distribution is normal

We have to find the best approach to construct the confidence interval for one-sample population mean. Two tests are used for constructing the confidence interval for one-sample population mean. These are:

  • One-sample z test for population mean
  • One-sample t test for population mean

One sample z test is used when the distribution is normal and the population standard deviation is known to us. One sample t test is used when the distribution is normal, population standard deviation is unknown and sample standard deviation is known.

Considering the data botanist collected, One-sample t test would be the most appropriate method as we have all the required data for this test. Using any other test will result in flawed intervals and hence flawed conclusions.

Therefore, One-sample t-test for population mean would be the most appropriate method.
