Simplify. √25 - √40 ? help please.
2 answers:
Answer:
-2+5
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of 25 is 5. Perfect squares get taken out of the square root signs. 40 isn't a perfect square root so it breaks down into 2 and square root10. It is being subtracted so by a bigger number so it is going to be negative. Sorry if my explaining ins't the best. Good luck! I know math is SUPER hard. :)

<h3>What are the Slope Values of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>When one line lies perpendicular to another line, the slope of one must be the negative reciprocal of the other line.
<h3>What is the Negative Reciprocal of a Number?</h3>If given a number, i.e. a/b, the negative reciprocal of a/b would the opposite value of the reciprocal of a/b.
Reciprocal of a/b is b/a. Negative reciprocal of a/b would therefore be: -b/a.
Given that the slope of the green line is: 2/5. And it is perpendicular to the red line. The slope of the red line would be the negative reciprocal of 2/5.
Negative reciprocal of 2/5 is -5/2.
Therefore, the slope of the red line is: -5/2.
