First off, the underline underneath means plus or minus, since when you take the square root of something, the answer can be negative or positive at the same time
1. 64 is a perfect square. 8 x 8 = 64, therefore it is +- (plus or minus) 8.
2. 45 is not a perfect square, so you can pull out numbers or plug into a calculator and estimate.
Both answers: Since 45 is divisible by 9 and five, you can break a nine into two threes, therefore pull it out, and since the answer is negative, you get:
-3(5)^0.5 (an exponent of one-half or 0.5 means square root)
If you solve by calculator, the answer is ~= (approximately equal to) -6.72
3. Since 90 is not a perfect square, repeat the previous question. 9 can go into 90, therefore you can pull out two threes and are left with: +-3(10)^0.5
Using the calculator, you get ~= +-9.49
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient is known as "the number in front of the letter,' so since 5 is in front of the x, 5 would be the leading coefficient, especially since the outcome would be 5x+881.
Answer:
The second one
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5 times 5 is 2.5
2.5 plus 14 is 16.5
0.5 times 10 is 5
5 plus 14 is 19
And so on
Answer:
Each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Carlus cut 5/12 of a yard of cloth into 5 pieces of equal length.
To find the length of each piece of cloth, we need to find the quotient between the length of the piece of cloth, and the number of pieces in which we divide it.
This is:
length = 
This means that the length of each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.
