Answer:

The student incorrectly simplified $30ab\sqrt{2a}+20a\sqrt{2a}$ .

Thus, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to determine the Perimeter of a rectangle of width w and length l is expressed as:

$P = 2l + 2w$

In other words, the perimeter can be determined by multiplying the length and width by 2 and adding the result.

In our case, the dimensions of a rectangle are $\sqrt{50a^3b^2}$ and $\sqrt{200a^3}\:\:$ .

Here is the student's solution:

$2\sqrt{50a^3b^2}+2\sqrt{200a^3}=2\cdot 5ab\sqrt{2a}+2\cdot 10a\sqrt{2a}$

$=10ab\sqrt{2a}+20a\sqrt{2a}$

$=30ab\sqrt{2a}$

The student made an error in calculating $30ab\sqrt{2a}+20a\sqrt{2a}$ , because $30ab\sqrt{2a}+20a\sqrt{2a}$ are not like terms.

Hence, $30ab\sqrt{2a}+20a\sqrt{2a}$ can not be simplified to $30ab\sqrt{2a}$

Therefore, the student incorrectly simplified $30ab\sqrt{2a}+20a\sqrt{2a}$ .

Thus, option D is correct.

Here is the correct Solution:

$2\sqrt{50a^3b^2}+2\sqrt{200a^3}=2\cdot 5ab\sqrt{2a}+2\cdot 10a\sqrt{2a}$

$=10ab\sqrt{2a}+20a\sqrt{2a}$

PLEASE HELP! IF YOU DON'T KNOW DON'T ANSWER! 60 POINTS!!

Answer:

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

a6 = 512

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a geometric sequence is

an = a1 (r)^(n-1)

where an is the term of the sequence

a1 is the initial term of the sequence

r is the ratio

and n is the term number

We know a1 = 1/2 and r =4

I will assume that x=6 means we want to know the 6th term

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

We want to find the 6th term

a6 = 1/2 * 4^(6-1)

a6 = 1/2 * 4^5

a6 = 512

Rectangle ABCD has vertices at (-7,-2); (1, -2); (1, -8); and (-7, -8) respectively. If GHJK is a similar rectangle where G(2, 5

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

J (6,2) K (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Now distance of AB = [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 8 units

CB = [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 6 units by using same formula

Now AB/CB must equal to GH/HJ as rectangles are similar

GH = [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 4 units

8/6 = 4/HJ

So,

HJ = 3 units

Now if we see the coordinates given carefully, it is obvious that two perpendicular lines lie perfectly parallel to x and y coordinates in rectangle ABCD. A is (-7,-2) and B is (1,-2) which means distance along y-axis doesn't change. Similarly for C (1,-8) and D (-7,-8), one can see that distance between y-axis doesn't change. So lines AB and CD of rectangle are parallel with x and AD and BC are parallel with y-axis.

In rectangle GHJK one can see that in given coordinates, G(2,5) and H(6,5), y coordinate is same so it is parallel to x axis. Now, HJ is perpendicular to GH so it must be parallel to y axis. It means if we know the lengths of sides we can easily determine unknown coordinates by simple addition and subtraction.

So, we know HJ = 3 units

J is (6,2) since HJ is parallel to y axis so distance on x axis will remain unchanged and length of line HJ will effect distance of y axis.

Similarly K is (2,2) for the same reason.

I need help on this math problem ASAP.

Luda [366]

Answer:

This shape is a rectangle so that means that the angles are 90°. From sum of angles of a triangle, x + 3x + 10 + 90 = 180 which means 4x + 100 = 180 → 4x = 80 → x = 20°.
