You would write two numbers adding or subtracting eachother in parentheses then a number on the outside and you take the number on the outside and multiply it by both the numbers in the parentheses then you’ll have two numbers adding or subtracting eachother for example 2(10+8) then you’d get 20+16 witch is also your problem

1.Identify the fractions. Using the distributive property, you’ll eventually turn them into integers.

2.For all fractions, find the lowest common multiple (LCM) -- the smallest number that both denominators can fit neatly into. This will allow you to add fractions.

3.Multiply every term in the equation by the LCM.

4.Isolate variables adding or subtracting like terms on both sides of the equals sign.

5.Combine like terms.

6.Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.

the maximum walking speed S, in feet per second of an animal can be modeled by the equation S=the square root gL where g=32ft/se

swat32

The maximum walking speed of the Giraffe is 1.41 times greater than the maximum walking speed of the Hippopotamus

<h3>Calculating Maximum speed</h3>

From the question, we are to determine how much greater the maximum walking speed of Giraffe is to that of Hippopotamus

From the give information,

The maximum walking speed, S, is given by

S = √gL

Where g = 32ft/sec
and L is the length of the animal's leg

Thus,

For a Giraffe with a leg length of 6 feet

S = √32×6

S = √192

S = 13.856 ft/sec

For a Hippopotamus with a leg length of 3 feet

S = √32×3

S = √96

S = 9.798 ft/sec

Now, we will determine how many times greater 13.856 is than 9.798

13.856/9.798 = 1.41

Hence, the maximum walking speed of the Giraffe is 1.41 times greater than the maximum walking speed of the Hippopotamus

Find the value of x² - x+1 when x=√3 -1, in the form a+b√3 where a and b are integers

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$6-3\sqrt{3}$

If you compare this to $a+b\sqrt{3}$ , then $a=6$ and $b=-3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given $x=\sqrt{3}-1$ and we are asked to find the value of $x^2-x+1$ .

So we will need to find $x^2$ .

$x=\sqrt{3}-1$

Square both sides:

$x^2=(\sqrt{3}-1)^2$

Expand using identity: $(x-a)^2=x^2-2ax+a^2$ .

$x^2=(\sqrt{3})^2-2(\sqrt{3})(1)+1^2$

$x^2=3-2\sqrt{3}+1$

$x^2=4-2\sqrt{3}$

Let's go back to the full $x^2-x+1$ .

$x^2-x+1$

$(4-2\sqrt{3})-(\sqrt{3}-1)+1$

$4-2\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}+1+1$

$6-3\sqrt{3}$

If you compare this to $a+b\sqrt{3}$ , then $a=6$ and $b=-3$ .
