Answer:

E=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

I substituted -2 for E as the product was also an equation with subtraction.

0.75(8+-2)=2-1.25(-2)

0.75 × -6 = 2- 2.50

-4.5=-0.50

/-4.5 /-4.5

-------------------

e=-2

A. Let us assume the width of the pool = x
Then
Length of the pool = 3x + 3
Depth of the pool = 2(3x + 3) - 7
= 6x + 6 - 7
= 6x - 1
B. Area of the land space = Width * length
= x * (3x + 3)
= 3x^2 + 3x
C. Volume of the pool = (6x - 1) * (3x^2 + 3x)
= 18x^3 + 18x^2 - 3x^2 - 3x
= 18x^3 + 15x^2 - 3x
D. The highest degree is actually 3 and the number of terms that we get is also 3.

What is the following quotient?

Answer: Choice B) $\frac{5\sqrt{11}+5\sqrt{3}}{8}\\\\$

==========================================

Work Shown:

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{11}-\sqrt{3}}\\\\\\\frac{5(\sqrt{11}+\sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{11}-\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{11}+\sqrt{3})}\\\\\\\frac{5\sqrt{11}+5\sqrt{3}}{(\sqrt{11})^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}\\\\\\\frac{5\sqrt{11}+5\sqrt{3}}{11-3}\\\\\\\frac{5\sqrt{11}+5\sqrt{3}}{8}\\\\\\$

This shows why choice B is the answer.

---------------

Explanation:

In the second step, I multiplied top and bottom by $(\sqrt{11}+\sqrt{3})$
This is so we can apply the difference of squares rule in step 3. The difference of squares rule is (x-y)(x+y) = x^2-y^2.
In step 4, the square roots cancel out with the squaring operation. The two operations are inverses of one another, which is why they cancel.

So in general, if the denominator is $\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}$ and you want to rationalize the denominator, then you should multiply top and bottom by $\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}$ . The same applies in reverse as well.
