ANSWER
![\frac{5( \sqrt{11} + \sqrt{3} )} {8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%28%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%2B%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20%29%7D%20%7B8%7D%20)
EXPLANATION
The given rational function is
![\frac{5}{ \sqrt{11} - \sqrt{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20-%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%7D%20)
We need to rationalize the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of
![\sqrt{11} - \sqrt{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20-%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20)
which is
![\sqrt{11} + \sqrt{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%20%2B%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20)
When we rationalize we obtain:
![\frac{5( \sqrt{11} + \sqrt{3} )}{(\sqrt{11} - \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{11} + \sqrt{3} )}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B5%28%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%2B%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20%29%7D%7B%28%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20-%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20%29%28%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%2B%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20%29%7D%20)
The denominator is now a difference of two squares:
![(a - b)(a + b) = {a}^{2} - {b}^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28a%20-%20b%29%28a%20%2B%20b%29%20%3D%20%20%7Ba%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20-%20%20%7Bb%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20)
We apply this property to get
![\frac{5( \sqrt{11} + \sqrt{3} )}{( \sqrt{11}) ^{2} - ( \sqrt{3}) ^{2} )}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%28%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%2B%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20%29%7D%7B%28%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%29%20%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%20%20-%20%20%28%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%29%20%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%29%7D%20)
![\frac{5( \sqrt{11} + \sqrt{3} )}{11 - 3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%28%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%2B%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20%29%7D%7B11%20%20%20-%20%203%7D%20)
This simplifies to
![\frac{5( \sqrt{11} + \sqrt{3} )} {8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%28%20%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%2B%20%20%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20%29%7D%20%7B8%7D%20)
Or
![\frac{5 } {8}\sqrt{11} + \frac{5 } {8}\sqrt{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%20%7D%20%20%7B8%7D%5Csqrt%7B11%7D%20%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B5%20%7D%20%20%7B8%7D%5Csqrt%7B3%7D%20)
When it is in motion the force is unbalanced. When it stops the forces are balanced.
C is correct.
1. You do 12.99 times 3
2. $0.69 times 2
3. Add $2.99 to the two prices above
4. Add the $2.52 tax to the prices
And you should get around $45 and some change
I do believe the answer is 52, sorry if i’m incorrect
