What is the square root of 5 divided by the square root of 15 and simplify and in fraction form

ozzi

Answer:

$\sqrt{\frac{1}{3} }$

or

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression $\frac{\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{15} }$ can be simplified by first writing the fraction under one single radical instead of two.

$\frac{\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{15} } = \sqrt{\frac{5}{15} }$

5/15 simplifies because both share the same factor 5.

It becomes $\sqrt{\frac{5}{15} } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3} }$

This can simplify further by breaking apart the radical.

$\sqrt{\frac{1}{3} } = \frac{\sqrt{1} }{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$

A radical cannot be left in the denominator, so rationalize it by multiplying by √3 to numerator and denominator.

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } *\frac{\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{3} } =\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

Recall that 2sin(x) cos(x) is actually equal to sin(2x).

We can prove this by expanding sin(2x) to sin(x + x).
sin(x + x) = sin(x) cos(x) + cos(x) sin(x) = 2sinxcosx

Thus, 2sin(x/2)cos(x/2) can be rewritten in the form:
sin(2x/2), and this simplifies down to sinx.

The Social Justice Club is going to rent a mammoth barbeque to cook the hot dogs for the hot dog sale After contacting three ren

zimovet [89]

Answer:

(A)Cost of Rental A, C= 15x

Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50

Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20

(B)

i. Rental C ii. Rental A iii. Rental B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part 1</u>

Let x be the number of hours of the barbeque use by the club.

Rental A: $15/h

Cost of Rental A, C= 15hx

Rental B: $5/h + 50

Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50

Rental C: $9/h + 20

Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20

<u>Part 2</u>

The graph of the three models is attached below

<u>Part 3(11.05-4.30)</u>

If the barbecue's usage hour is from 11.05 to 4.30 when the football match ends.

Number of Hours between 11.05am and 4.30pm=4 hours 25 Minutes = 4.42 Hours

Cost of Rental A, C= 15x=15(4.42)=$66.30

Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50 =5(4.42)+50=$72.10

Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20=9(4.42)+20=$59.78

Rental C should be chosen as it offers the lowest cost.

<u>Part 4 (11.05-12.30)</u>

Number of Hours = 12.30 -11.05 =1 hour 25 Minutes = 1.42 Hours

Cost of Rental A, C= 15x=15(1.42)=$21.30 Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50 =5(4.42)+50=$57.10 Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20=9(4.42)+20=$32.78

Rental A should be chosen since it offers the lowest cost.

<u>Part 5</u>

If the barbecue is returned the next day, say after 24 hours

Cost of Rental A, C= 15x=15(24)=$360 Cost of Rental B, C=5x+50 =5(24)+50=$170 Cost of Rental C, C=9x+20=9(24)+20=$236

Rental B should be chosen as it offers the lowest cost.
