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.

A flagpole stands perpendicular to the ground. It is supported by a 20-foot cable that runs from the top of the flagpole to the
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

h  =  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras´ theorem establishes, that in a right triangle square of the hypothenuse (c²) is the sum of leg ( b²)  plus  leg  (a²)

Then

c²  =  a²  +  b²

where according to the problem statement

(20)²  =  h²  +  (12)²           (  h is the height of the flagpole )

h²  =  400 -  144

h²  =  256

h  =  √ 256

h  =  16 feet

A bag contains n blue and m red marbles. You randomly pick a marble from the bag, write down its color, and then put the marble
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

(mn+n²)/(m+n)

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of blue marble= n/(n+m)

probability of red marble= m/(n+m)

probability that process stops = Probability of both blue + probability of both red=  n/(n+m) × n/(n+m) + m/(n+m)×m/(n+m)

                        = (n²+m²)/(n+m)²

P(1st marbel is blue)= P(blue and red) + P(blue and blue)

                                  = mn/(n+m) + n²/(n+m)

                                   = (mn+n²)/(m+n)

P(1st marble is blue | process stops)= ( (mn+n²)/(m+n)× (n²+m²)/(n+m)²)/ ((n²+m²)/(n+m)²)

= (mn+n²)/(m+n)

Need help with understanding table of ordered pairs , I have two left and that's basically all.
azamat

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to figure this out is to substitute in the variables. So for a, 2=-5+7 is correct, and 7=0+7 is correct as well. If you were to look at the other answers, you would see that the equation would not match up. Hope this helps!
