<u>Answer:</u>

\frac { \sqrt { 13 } - \sqrt { 11 } } { \sqrt { 13 } - \sqrt { 11 } }

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

We are given the following expression and we are to determine the expression that we need to multiply it with in order to rationalize the denominator:

\frac { 2 } { \sqrt { 13 } + \sqrt { 11 } }

To rationalize its denominator, we must multiply it with its conjugate.

For the denominator of the given expression, its conjugate would be \sqrt { 13 } - \sqrt { 11 }.

So to rationalize the expression, we would multiply it with:

\frac { \sqrt { 13 } - \sqrt { 11 } } { \sqrt { 13 } - \sqrt { 11 } }

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

You should multiply the expression by \frac{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

To rationalize any expression, you must multiply it by its conjugate. A conjugate is defined as a similar expression to the original one but with an opposite sign

<u>This means that:</u>

The conjugate of a + b would be a -  b

Now, the given expression is \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11}}

<u>Consider the denominator:</u>

From the above, we can conclude that the conjugate of \sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11} is \sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}

<u>And, remember that</u> we need to keep the value of the expression unchanged. This means that we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same value

<u>Therefore:</u>

You should multiply the expression by \frac{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}} in order to rationalize the denominator

Hope this helps :)

Jessica picked oranges for 2 days during school vacation. She was paid $0.45 per basket for the first 100 baskets picked each da
Mama L [17]

Answer:

$91.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica is paid:

  • $0.45 per basket for the first 100 baskets picked;
  • $0.50 per basket for all baskets over 100 picked.

1st day:

Jessica picked 65 baskets of oranges (less than 100)

Jessica is paid 65\cdot \$0.45=\$29.25

2nd day:

Jessica picked 135 baskets of oranges (35 more than 100)

Jessica is paid 100\cdot \$0.45+35\cdot \$0.50=\$45+\$17.50=\$62.50

Altogether Jessica is paid

\$29.25+\$62.50=\$91.75

The sides of a parallelogram are 40 and 70 feet long,and the smaller angle has a measure of 36.Find the length of the longer dia
Mumz [18]

Answer:

105 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer diagonal is opposite the longer angle in the parallelogram.

The longer angle = 180 - 36 = 144 degrees. (Reason: he same side angles  are supplementary).

So, by the law of cosines:

x^ 2 = 40^2 + 70^2 - 2*40*70 cos 140    where x = the diagonal.

x^2 =  11030.50

x = 105.03 feet.

What are the roots of 2x^2+10×-48=0
mojhsa [17]
X=-8,3.
divide all terms by the two in the first term to get x^2+5x-24=0. Then find the factors. To do so, find what two numbers can be multiplied to get 24, and whether those two numbers can be added or subtracted to get the middle term (5). Since 8x(-3)=24 and 8-3=5, (x+8) and (x-3) are the factors. Then set the factors equal to zero. Add or subtract these numbers to the other side of the equation and you then get x=-8,3. These are the roots.

Find the missing angles in the following triangles.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

angles in triangle = 180

1. 180 - (70+45) = x = 65

2. x = 35

180 - 110 = 70

70/2 = 35 (isosceles triangle)

3. x = 113, y = 67

180 - (62 + 51) = y = 67

Angles on a line = 180

180 - 67 = x = 113

4. x = 60, y = 50

x = 180 - 120 = 60

y = 180 - (60 + 70) = 50

answers in degrees.
