15% * 8 cups
= 0.15 * 8 cups
= 1.2 cups
If you are factoring it you can factor it into (x+5)^2
Sqrt -13 = sqrt13 i
sqrt -26 = sqrt2 * sqrt13i
sqrt-13 * sqrt -26 = sqrt2 * 13* i^2 = -13 sqrt2 (because i^2 = -1)
answer is -13 sqrt2
Randomly only means that Nobody says before that the candidates must have a certain characteristic(e.g. that they have to be Male) and that Nobody knows before who gets chosen.
