4√6 •√3 how do I show work for this because the answer is 2√12

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3} = 12 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify the radical expression:

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3}$

We write √6 as √(2*3).

This implies that:

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3} = 4 \sqrt{2 \times 3} \times \sqrt{3}$

We now split the radical for √(2*3) to get:

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3} = 4 \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$

We obtain a perfect square at the far right.

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3} = 4 \sqrt{2} \times (\sqrt{3} )^{2}$

This simplifies to

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3} = 4 \sqrt{2} \times 3$

This gives us:

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3} = 4 \times 3 \sqrt{2}$

and finally, we have:

$4 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{3} = 12 \sqrt{2}$

The expression below represents the number of bacteria in a petri dish after t hours. Interpret the meaning of the expression.

konstantin123 [22]

The answer is B) The initial number of bacteria is 57, and the growth rate is 31% per hour.

The expression shown is an exponential expression. An exponential expression usually takes the form $ab^{x}$ , as this one does. A represents the initial value, in this case-the initial number of bacteria. B represents the growth rate. When it is an increasing growth rate, it will begin with 1, because it will have everything it had before, plus the percent increase, the decimal portion. In this case, a=57, and b=0.31.

Hope this makes sense!

When the Defense Department ordered 132 new airplanes, the cost per plane was estimated to be $580 million. A cut in the order t

aliina [53]

Answer:

C. The loss of economies of scale

By definition represent "the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation, with cost per unit of output decreasing with increasing scale" and thats the corrct option since if we increase the order we have a lower price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following options we analyze one by one to select the correct one

A. A move to minimum efficient scale

By definition the minimum efficient scale (MES) or efficient scale of production is "the lowest point where the plant can produce such that its long run average costs are minimized" but thats not the case since the department order new planes and the costs are not minimized .

B. The law of diminishing returns

The law of diminishing marginal returns says that "at some point, adding an additional factor of production results in smaller increases in output" but that's not the case since we don't have smaller increases in output.

C. The loss of economies of scale

By definition represent "the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation, with cost per unit of output decreasing with increasing scale" and thats the corrct option since if we increase the order we have a lower price.

D. An increase in fixed cost

That's False since on this case we don't have a fixed cost, the cost on this case depend on the size of the order.
