Why are radicals simplified before adding and subtracting? Explain your reasoning by adding sqrt8 and sqrt32 algebraically. Comp

are the process to multiplying and dividing.

The first reason is that square root extraction is NOT a linear process, i.e.
√a + √b ≠ √(a+b) unless a = b. What usually happens is that some common factors can be gotten out frpom the radical and then the distributive law allows some consolidation of terms.
sqrt(8) + sqrt(32) = 2sqrt(2) + 4sqrt(2) = 6 sqrt(2)

but sqrt(8) + sqrt(24) = 2sqrt(2) + 2sqrt(6) = 2[sqrt(2) + sqrt(6)].

GaryK [48]

Answer:
5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that during a science experiment
The temperature of a solution in a beaker 15 degrees below zero
The temperature of solution in a beaker 2 was opposite of the temperature in beaker 1
We have to determine the temperature of beaker 2.
It mean temperature of beaker 1 solution=-5 degrees
According to question
Temperature of beaker 2 solution =5 degrees
Hence, the temperature of solution in a beaker 2=5 degrees

What is the y-coordinate of the solution for the system of equations? x−y=−11 y+7=−2x

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$y= 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

$x-y=-11$

$y+7=-2x$

In order to find the y coordinate of the solution we must first find the solution to this system of equations. We first start by solving one of the given equations and then substitute the answer of that into the second equation and further solve to get the final answers.

$x=y=-11$

$y+7=-2x$

$y+7=-2x$

$+ -7$

$y = -2x - 7$

$x - y = -11$

$y = -2x-7$

$x-(-2x-7)=-11$

$x--2x=x+2x=3x$

$3x+7=-11$

$-7$

$-11+-7=-18$

$3x=-18$

$\div3$

$-18\div3=-6$

$x=-6$

$y=-2x-7$

$y=(-2)(-6)-7$

$-2\times-6=12-7=5$

$y=5$

Hope this helps.

$\bold{\text{Answer:\qquad }b)\quad \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},-2\bigg)}$

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

The vertex form of an absolute value equation is: $f(x)=|x-h|+k$ where

(h, k) is the vertex. In the given equation, $f(x)=\bigg|x-\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg|-2$ , the h-value is 1/2 and the k-value is -2.

So, the vertex (h, k) = (1/2, -2)
