Answer:

 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the middle integer. Then the smallest is x-2 and the largest is x+2. Your requirement is that ...

  (x-2)/(x+2) > 2/3

  3x -6 > 2x +4 . . . . cross multiply

  x > 10 . . . . . . . . . . .add 6-2x

The smallest integer satisfying this requirement is x=11. The sum of the 5 integers is 5x = 55.

The smallest sum is 55.

Given the speeds of each runner below determine who runs the fastest
Liula [17]

Answer:

Stephanie ran the fastest at 15 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Frank ran the second fastest at 13.2 feet per second because it took him 60 seconds to run 792 feet, and 792/60 = 13.2

Debbie ran the third fastest at 12.08 feet per second because it took her 23 seconds to run 278 feet, and 278/23=12.086

Noah gets last place because it took him 551 seconds to run a mile, or 5280 feet, and 5280/551=9.58 feet per second

Rationalise the denominator of: (√3 - √2)/(√3+√2) = ?​
marissa [1.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Given :-</u></h2>

(√3-√2)/(√3+√2)

<h2><u>To find :-</u></h2>

Rationalised form = ?

<h2><u>Solution:-</u></h2>

Given that

(√3-√2)/(√3+√2)

The denominator = √3+√2

The Rationalising factor of √3+√2 is √3-√2

On Rationalising the denominator then

=> [(√3-√2)/(√3+√2)]×[(√3-√2)/(√3-√2)]

=> [(√3-√2)(√3-√2)]×[(√3+√2)(√3-√2)]

=> (√3-√2)²/[(√3+√2)(√3-√2)]

=> (√3-√2)²/[(√3)²-(√2)²]

Since (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²

Where , a = √3 and b = √2

=> (√3-√2)²/(3-2)

=> (√3-√2)²/1

=> (√3-√2)²

=> (√3)²-2(√3)(√2)+(√2)²

Since , (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²

Where , a = √3 and b = √2

=> 3-2√6+2

=> 5-2√6

Hence, the denominator is rationalised.

<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h2>

Rationalised form of (√3-√2)/(√3+√2) is 5 - 2√6.

<h2><u>U</u><u>sed </u><u>formulae:</u><u>-</u></h2>
  • (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²
  • (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²
  • The Rationalising factor of √3+√2 is √3-√2

12345 [234]

Answer:

12x-8y

Step-by-step explanation:

add 10x and 2x, this gets 12x, and add -5y with -3y, which gives you -8y. Add both of these values together and you get 12x-8y

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

total population after a year ≅ 452525

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of wild turkey after a year = 1.4 x 121212 = 169696.8

Population of white-tail deer after a year = 181818 + 101010 = 282828

Hence total population after a year = 169696.8 + 282828 = 452524.8 ≅ 452525
