Rationalize the denominator of the fraction: √5/√8 - √3

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The editor must have brackets put around the denominator when there are 2 terms.

That means I think the question is (√5) / (√8 - √3). If this is incorrect, leave a note.

To rationalize the denominator, you must multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate  (√8 + √3).

Solution

√5 *  (√8 - √3) /  ( (√8 - √3) *  (√8 + √3)  )  

I don't think there is any point in removing the brackets in the numerator. Just leave it.

The denominator is a different matter.

denominator = ( (√8 - √3) *  (√8 + √3)  )

√8 * √8 = 8

√8 * √3 = √24

- √3 * √8 = - √24

-√3 * √3 = - 3

Take a close look at the 2 middle terms. They cancel out because one of them is plus and the other minus.

What you are left with is 8 - 3 = 5

So the final answer is

√5 *  (√8 - √3)

=============

5

The ratio of Michaels's points on an English test to Paloma's points on the same test is 12:11. The ratio of Michaels's points o
diamong [38]

The difference between Palomas and Antons' points on the English test is of 14 points.

<h3>What is Ratio ?</h3>

When two numbers can be written in the form as p:q , they are said to be in Ratio.

It is given that

The ratio of Michaels point to Paloma point is 12 :11

The ratio of Michaels point to Anton's Point is 4:3

Let Paloma's point be x

then Michaels point will be 12x/11

and Anton's points will be

(12x/11 ) / Anton's points = 4 /3

Anton's points = 9x/11

It is given that the sum of the points of the three students is 224

so

x + (12x/11)+ (9x/11) = 224

32x /11 = 224

x = 77

Paloma's points = 77

Anton's Points = 9x/11 = 63

The difference between Palomas and Antons' points on the English test

=77 -63

= 14 points.

The sector of a circle is shown below. It has a radius of 10 centimeters and a central
disa [49]

Answer:

1) 8.9 cm

2) 44.5 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) we want to calculate the length of the arc

Mathematically, we use the formula for the length of an arc

That will be ;

theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

theta = central angle = 51

r is radius = 10 cm

so we have ;

51/360 * 2 * 22/7 * 10 = 8.9 cm

2) The area of the sector is;

theta/360 * pi * r^2

51/360 * 22/7 * 10^2

= 44.5 cm^2
