Question: √144 how do I rewrite the radical while extracting all the perfect sqares.
Mathematics

elixir [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number itself is a perfect square, so it's going to be hard to do.  What I'm trying to say is that there won't be anything left over underneath the square root sign.

Perfect squares.

144: 4 * 36

√144 = √(4 * 36)

√144 - √4*√36

√144 = 2 * 6 = 12.

In my opinion, the better way to do it is to factor the number down to it's primes. This works much better with larger numbers.

Suppose you want √480

480: 2 * 240

480: 2 * 2 * 120

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 60

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 30

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 15

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

How do you know when to quit? There are 2 rules.

  • Keep dividing by a prime until it gives you a decimal remainder.
  • Keep dividing by the next prime until you have nothing but primes.

So now we have

√480 = √(2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5)

Here's your last rule: for every pair of like factors you take out one from underneath the root and throw the other one away.

√480 = 2 * 2√ 2 * 3 * 5

√480 = 4√30

When graphing the inequality y ≤ 2x − 4, the boundary line needs to be graphed first. Which graph correctly shows the boundary l
Volgvan

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The boundary line follows the graph of y = 2x - 4 because it represents the line of maximum or minimum values the graph could take. y = 2x - 4 has a y-intercept of -4 because it is in slope-intercept form. It also has a slope of 2, so to find another point on the line, you can go up two and right one. Also, this inequality has a solid line because it is "less than or equal to" and a solid line represents the values that equal.

allsm [11]

Answer: My internet connection is not good enough.

Step-by-step explanation: This one may be pretty commonly used but also a common problem people always have and it's pretty unavoidable. Tell her that the call\meeting gets super laggy and then ends up freezing and that doing it over voice is a better option for you so you can get the best learning experience or something like that. Basically pretend you care until he\she believes it.

Good luck <3 Let me know if you need another!
