The trick is to exploit the difference of squares formula,
Set a = √8 and b = √6, so that a + b is the expression in the denominator. Multiply by its conjugate a - b:
Whatever you do to the denominator, you have to do to the numerator too. So
Expand the numerator:
So we have
But √12 = √(3•4) = 2√3, so
Answer:
62.5
All you do is divide 5 by 8 and you get this .625 move the decimal over two spots to the right and you get 62.5%
The maximum number of fish is going to be p(9) = 200
This can't be factored with rational numbers.
To reflect it over the x axis, all y units get multiplied by -1, so we multiply the equation by -1. After that, to stretch it vertically, we multiply it by that factor, which is 2. Right now , we have -2log(5x). Lastly, we shift it down 3 units by subtracting 3 from the overall equation, resulting in -2log(5x)-3
