Answer:

D but see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be factored if you are allowed to use square roots.

(p + 5√5)(p - 5√5)

Usually, you are not allowed to do that. Usually you must be working with whole numbers or rational well behaved fractions.

I think, given the above comment, the answer is D

Answer:

2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards total, 4 kings, and 4 queens.

Probability is calculated by (number of favorable outcomes)/(number of possible outcomes), so our probability would be 8/52, which can be simplified to 2/13.

84. Use properties of exponents to rewrite each expression with only positive, rational exponents. Then find the numerical value

Answer:

a) 1/27

b) 16

c) 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $x^{-3/2}$

One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

$x^{-3/2}=\frac{1}{x^{3/2} }$
