Is anyone good at Simplifying Radical Expressions?

All you really have to do is find the prime factorization of the term. And for every pair of like factors you can move that term outside of the radical sign (for square roots) If you were doing cube roots you would need to find threesomes of factors... for example..

20^(1/2)

pf 20=2*2*5 so you have two twos so you can simplify to 2(5)^(1/2)

108^(1/3)

pf 108=2*2*3*3*3 so you have 3^3 so you can simplify to 3(4)^(1/3)

What is the difference between a linear function and a nonlinear function?

gavmur [86]

Linear functions have no exponents higher than 1, and a graph that looks like a straight line. non-linear functions have at least one exponent higher than 1, and a graph that isn't a straight line

Sofia hits a softball straight up. the equation h= -16t^2 + 90t models the height h, in feet, of the ball after t seconds. How l

andrezito [222]

It is in the air 5.625 seconds.

Using the quadratic formula,

$t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{90^2-4(-16)(0)}}{2(-16)}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100-0}}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100}}{-32}=\frac{-90\pm90}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90+90}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-90-90}{-32}=\frac{0}{32}\text{ or }\frac{-180}{-32}
\\
\\=0\text{ or }5.625$

0 is when the ball is first launched, 5.625 is when it hits the ground again.
