Answer:\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, let's get rid of the parentheses. We can multiply it out to get \sqrt{16}-x\sqrt{8} =11. We know that the square root of 16 is ±4, so now our equation is ±4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. I'm guessing since the problem only has one solution it's most likely only positive 4, so let's revise our equation to 4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. We can use inverse operations to make the a little easier to solve: -7= x\sqrt{8}. We divide both sides by \sqrt{8} to get \frac{-7}{\sqrt{8} } =x, which we can rationalize (remove the square root from the denominator so that it's a proper answer) by multiplying by \frac{\sqrt{8} }{\sqrt{8} } (which is equal to one so we can use it) which is equal to \frac{-7\sqrt{8} }{8}. Let's finish this by simplifying it. \sqrt{8} =2\sqrt{2} (2x2^{2}). We can simplify it further by simplifying the 2, making it \frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}.

Hope this wasn't too confusing! I'll answer any questions.

Answer:

x = -7 sqrt(2)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sqrt8 (Sqrt2 - x) = 11

Simplify sqrt(8) = sqrt(4*2) = 2 sqrt(2)

2 sqrt(2) (Sqrt2 - x) = 11

Distribute

2 *2 - 2 sqrt(2) x = 11

4 - 2 sqrt(2)x = 11

Subtract 4 from each side

4-2sqrt(2)x -4 = 11-4

-2 sqrt(2)x = 7

Divide each side by -2 sqrt(2)

-2 sqrt(2)x /-2 sqrt(2) = 7/ -2 sqrt(2)

x = - 7/ 2 sqrt(2)

Multiply top and bottom by sqrt(2)

x = - 7/ 2 sqrt(2)  * sqrt(2)/ sqrt(2)

x = -7 sqrt(2)/4

If 3/4 = x/8 then x is equal to what
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

x is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 * x/8

3*8=24 then,

divide by 4 which gives you 6.

Also if you simplify 6/8, it will give you 3/4.

Write out the first few terms of the series Summation from n equals 0 to infinity (StartFraction 2 Over 3 Superscript n EndFract
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum you are trying to understand is this.

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n}

Remember that in general when you have a geometric series  

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n you have that

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n = \frac{a}{1-r}      and that equality is true as long as     |r| < 1.

Therefore here we have

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{3*5} \big)^n = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n        and   \big|\frac{-1}{15} \big| = \frac{1}{15} < 1

Therefore we can use the formula and

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n =  \frac{2}{1-(-1/15)} = \frac{2}{1+1/15} = 30/16  = 15/8
