Rationalizing the denominator involves exploiting the well-known difference of squares formula,

We have

so that

Rewrite 16 and 32 as powers of 2, then simplify:






So we have <em>A</em> = 8, <em>B</em> = 2, <em>C</em> = 4, and <em>D</em> = 7, and thus <em>A</em> + <em>B</em> + <em>C</em> + <em>D</em> = 21.
Answer:
Correct option: C -> 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is:

And the second equation is:

From the second equation, we have:

Using this value of y in the first equation, we have:




Calculating the discriminant Delta, we have:

We have
, so we have two real values for x, therefore we have two solutions for this system.
Correct option: C.
(If the system of equation is actually:


We would have:





We also have
, so we have two solutions for this system.
Correct option: C.)
The properties of integer exponents can be used to write equivalent expressions by combining numeric or algebraic expressions that have a common base, distributing exponents to products and quotients, and simplifying powers of powers.
Since the problem is quite vague because the number of
choice per question is not written here. I’ll just put for 4 choices and 5
choices each.
To compute for the 5 choices each:
Mean = np = 20 (1/5) = 4
Standard deviation = sqrt(npq) = sqrt (4*(4/5) = 1.79
To compute for the 4 choices each:
Mean = np = 20 (1/4) = 5
Standard deviation = sqrt(npq) = sqrt (5*(4/5) = 2
Parentheses!! Don’t forget PEMDAS! (Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)
