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

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)

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and ∠BAC=30°. Side AB and the median AD contain points Q and P respectively (point

juin [17]

Answer:

15°

brainlest

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P is on the median of ΔABC, it is equidistant from points B and C as well as from C and Q. Thus, points B, C, and Q all lie on a circle centered at P. (See the attached diagram.)

The base angles (B and C) of triangle ABC are (180° -30°)/2 = 75°. This means arc QC of the circle centered at P has measure 150°. The diameter of circle P that includes point Q is defined to intersect circle P at R.

Central angle RPC is the difference between arcs QR and QC, so is 180° -150° = 30°. Inscribed angle RQC has half that measure, so is 15°. Angle PQC has the same measure as angle RQC, so is 15°.

Angle PQC is 15°.

Answer:

99% CI:

$-4.637\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq 3.737$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 99%CI for the difference of means for the vegan and the omnivore.

First, we have to estimate the standard deviation

$s_{Md}=\sqrt{\frac{2MSE}{n_h}}$

The MSE can be calculated as

$MSE=\frac{(SSE_1+SSE_2)}{df} =\frac{(n_1s_1)^2+(n_2*s_2)^2}{n_1+n_2-2}\\\\MSE=\frac{(85*1.05)^2+(96*1.20)^2}{85+96-2}=\frac{7965.56+13272.04}{179} =118.65$

The weighted sample size nh can be calculated as

$n_h=\frac{2}{1/n_1+1/n_2}=\frac{2}{1/85+1/96}=\frac{2}{0.0222} =90.16$

The standard deviation then becomes

$s_{Md}=\sqrt{\frac{2MSE}{n_h}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*118.65}{90.16}}=\sqrt{2.632} =1.623$

The z-value for a 99% confidence interval is z=2.58.

The difference between means is

$\Delta M=M_v-M_o=5.10-5.55=-0.45$

Then the confidence interval can be constructed as

$\Delta M-z*s_{Md}\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq \Delta M+z*s_{Md}\\\\ -0.45-2.58*1.623\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq -0.450+2.58*1.623\\\\-0.450-4.187\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq-0.450+4.187\\\\-4.637\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq 3.737$

I believe your answer is:

18in³

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Assuming that the figure is a rectangular prism:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Volume of a rectangular prism is:}}\\\\V = l * w * h\\-----------\\V = 2 * 2.25 * 4\\\\\boxed{V = 18}$
