√8x^2 divided by √2x
Ghella [55]
Question: Simplify \frac{\sqrt{8x^2}}{\sqrt{2x}}.

First off, you <em>never</em> want square roots on the bottom of a fraction, so let's multiply both sides by \sqrt{2x} to get rid of it. All we have to do from there is simplify!

\frac{\sqrt{8x^2}}{\sqrt{2x}}*\frac{\sqrt{2x}}{\sqrt{2x}}=\frac{\sqrt{8x^2}*\sqrt{2x}}{2x}}=\frac{\sqrt{16x^3}}{2x}=\frac{4x\sqrt{x}}{2x}=\boxed{2\sqrt{x}}

For what value of x does (x + 3)^2-5=0
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

x = -3±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 3)^2-5=0

Add 5 to each side

(x + 3)^2-5+5=0+5

(x + 3)^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x + 3)^2 )=±sqrt( 5)

x+3 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 3 from each side

x+3-3 = -3±sqrt( 5)

x = -3±sqrt( 5)

The length of a rectangle is 7 centimeters greater than the width.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

length = 17cm, width = 10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 2w = 54

L = w + 7

Substitute:

2(w + 7) + 2w = 54

2w + 14 + 2w = 54

4w = 40

w = 10

L = 10 + 7 = 17
