Why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting them?

Answer:

Radical expressions must be simplified before adding or subtracting so that you are combining “like terms”. In the same way that 2x2 and 3x cannot be combined because they are not like terms, terms involving radicals cannot be combined unless the value under the radical is the same for both terms.

Please Hurry) Consider the quadratic equation 3x^2 - 6 = 2x. A) What is the value of the discrimination? B) What does the discri
Levart [38]

Answer:

A. 76

B. We will get two real solutions for the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A

For any quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0, the discriminant is b²-4ac.

In 3x²-2x-6=0, a=3, b=-2 and c=-6:

b²-4ac

(-2)²-4(3)(-6)=4+72=76

B.

When the discriminate is positive we get two real solutions to the equation, when it's zero we get one real solution, and when it's negative we get two complex solutions. Since our discriminate, 76, is positive, we know that we will get two real solutions to 3x²-6=2x.

Answer:

\lim_{x \to 7} \frac{\sqrt{x+2}-3 }{x-7} = \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

\lim_{x \to 7} \frac{\sqrt{x+2}-3 }{x-7}

\frac{\sqrt{x+2}-3 }{x-7}

\frac{\frac{1}{2} (x+2)^{-\frac{1}{2} }}{1} <-- Take derivative of numerator and denominator expressions

{\frac{1}{2} (x+2)^{-\frac{1}{2} }} <-- Simplify

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2} }) <-- Rewrite

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{7+2} }) <-- Use direct substitution and plug in the limit x=7

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{9} })

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}3 })

\frac{1}{6}

Therefore, \lim_{x \to 7} \frac{\sqrt{x+2}-3 }{x-7} = \frac{1}{6}

Suppose y varies directly as x and y = 20 when x = 8. What is the value ofy whenx = 12?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the direct variation equation, y = kx

Plug in 20 as y and 8 as x, then solve for k:

y = kx

20 = k(8)

2.5 = k

So, the equation is y = 2.5x

Plug in 12 as x, and solve for y:

y = 2.5x

y = 2.5(12)

y = 30

So, when x = 12, y = 30
