Rationalizing the denominator, simply means "getting rid of that pesky root at the bottom", and we do so by simply multiplying it by something to take it out, of course, we multiply the bottom, we have to also multiply the top,

Answer:
173.83
Step-by-step explanation:
17.4*9.99= 173.826
173.826 -> 173.83
The bucket leaks 1/4 ounce per hour. Because the numerator is 3 and it took 3 hours, you can give 1/4 to every hour (3/4 divided by 3).
Answer:
Divide by 2
q^2+4q=3/2
q^2+4q(4/2)^2=3/2+(4/2)^2
(q+4/2)^2=3/2+16/4
taking the square root of both side
√(q+4/2)^2=√(3/2+16/4)
Note that the square will cancel the square root then you will take LCM on the right hand side
q+4/2=√6+16/4
q+4/2=√22/4
q= -4/2+-√22/4
q=(-4+_√22/4)
For this case what you should do is:
1) Multiplication of terms within parentheses correctly.
2) Rewrite the expression respecting power properties.
3) Add or subtract terms of equal power.
