rationalizing the numerator, or namely, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the top".
we simply multiply top and bottom by a value that will take out the radicand in the numerator.

Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
If its a right triangle it will obey the Pythagoras theorem.
17^2 = 289
11^2 + 15^2 = 121 + 225 = 346
- so NOT a right triangle.
Answer:
You will save $2 if you buy from Picture Perfect Pizza instead of Pizza Outpost.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the unit rate of each pizza from each pizza place.
Picture Perfect Pizza: $3÷2 = $1.50
Pizza Outpost: $7÷4 = $1.75
Picture Perfect Pizza: $1.5 * 8 = $12
Pizza Outpost: $1.75*8 = $14
Answer:
0.18
Step-by-step explanation:
The relative frequency of eight graders who want fruit smoothie :
Number of eight graders who want fruit smoothie / total number of students surveyed
= 45 / 250
= 0.18
Answer:
First one: yes
Second one: yes
Third one: no
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the midpoint of a line segment, you take the x and y coordinates of the 2 points, add each of them up, and divide each of them by 2.
First one: x = (1+3)/2 = 2, y = (2+4)/2 = 3, so it's correct.
Second one: x = (-1+3)/2 = 1, y = (1+-1)/2 = 0, so it's correct.
Third one: x = (-3+-1)/2 = -2, y = (0+5)/2 ≠ 2, so it's not correct.
I really hope this helped.
