Anettt [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\large\boxed{a=\dfrac{58}{25},\ b=0}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{3\sqrt3+\sqrt2}{3\sqrt3-\sqrt2}+\dfrac{3\sqrt3-\sqrt2}{3\sqrt3+\sqrt2}\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\\\\=\dfrac{(3\sqrt3+\sqrt2)(3\sqrt3+\sqrt2)}{(3\sqrt3-\sqrt2)(3\sqrt3+\sqrt2)}+\dfrac{(3\sqrt3-\sqrt2)(3\sqrt3-\sqrt2)}{(3\sqrt3+\sqrt2)(3\sqrt3-\sqrt2)}\\\\=\dfrac{(3\sqrt3+\sqrt2)^2}{(3\sqrt3)^2-(\sqrt2)^2}+\dfrac{(3\sqrt3-\sqrt2)^2}{(3\sqrt3)^2-(\sqrt2)^2}\qquad\text{use}\ (a\pm b)^2=a^2\pm2ab+b^2

=\dfrac{(3\sqrt3)^2+2(3\sqrt3)(\sqrt2)+(\sqrt2)^2}{3^2(\sqrt3)^2-2}+\dfrac{(3\sqrt3)^2-2(3\sqrt3)(\sqrt2)+(\sqrt2)^2}{3^2(\sqrt3)^2-2}\\\\=\dfrac{3^2(\sqrt3)^2+6\sqrt6+2}{9\cdot3-2}+\dfrac{3^2(\sqrt3)^2-6\sqrt6+2}{9\cdot3-2}\\\\=\dfrac{9\cdot3+6\sqrt6+2}{27-2}+\dfrac{9\cdot3-6\sqrt6+2}{27-2}\\\\=\dfrac{27+6\sqrt6+2}{25}+\dfrac{27-6\sqrt6+2}{25}\\\\=\dfrac{29+6\sqrt6}{25}+\dfrac{29-6\sqrt6}{25}\\\\=\dfrac{29+6\sqrt6+29-6\sqrt6}{25}\\\\=\dfrac{58}{25}

I need help with this ^
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

15=a

Step-by-step explanation:

how I got this is because a triangle is equal to 180 so you have to add all of the things together then you get 12a=180 the reason why I got this is because if you add it so 6x+3a-1+3a+1 so you add common terms then you will equal to 12a then you divide it on both sides so then you equal to 15

Caros makes wooden boxes without tops to use as flower planters. Each wooden box has a width of 14 inches and a height of 24 inc
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

y = 2(31x + 336)

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of an open rectangular box of sides, l, w and h is

A = 2lh + 2wh + lw where l = length = x, w = width = 14 in and h = height = 24 in.

Since A = y, we have

y = 2lh + 2wh + lw

y = 2x(24) + 2(24)(14) + x(14)

y = 48x + 672 + 14x

y = 62x + 672

y = 2(31x + 336)
