Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording "when x is an appropriate value" is irrelevant to this question. That phrase should be ignored. (You may want to report this to your teacher.)
When you look at the answer choices, you see that all of them are negative except the last one (D). When you look at the problem fraction, you see that it is positive.
The only reasonable choice is D.

Your calculator can check this for you.
√12/(√3 +3) ≈ 3.4641/(1.7321 +3)
= 3.4641/4.7321 ≈ 0.7321 = -1 +√3

If you want to "rationalize the denominator", then multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate is formed by switching the sign between terms.

<em>Additional comment</em>
We "rationalize the denominator" in this way to take advantage of the relation ...
(a -b)(a +b) = a² -b²
Using this gets rid of the irrational root in the denominator, hence "rationalizes" the denominator.
We could also have multiplied by (3 -√3)/(3 -√3). This would have made the denominator positive, instead of negative. However, I chose to use (√3 -3) so you could see that all we did was change the sign from (√3 +3).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
There are 52 cards in total
there are total of 13 pairs of same cards with each pair containing 4 cards
Probability of getting a pair or three of kind card=1-Probability of all three cards being different
Probability of selecting all three different cards can be find out by selecting a card from first 13 pairs and remaining 2 cards from remaining 12 pairs i.e.
for first card there are 52 options after choosing first card one pair is destroyed as we have to select different card .
For second card we have to select from remaining 12 pairs i.e. 48 cards and so on for third card.
Required Probability is
