ign="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">i asked my teacher and she said this "Hi there. separate the radicals - numerator and denominator first. Then, you'll need to make "8" into 2^3. You'll want to create a group of 4 for both the 2 and the y in the denominator, because your index is "4". So, you'll need one more "2" and "y^3". Then you multiply top and bottom by the 4th root of 2y^3 and simplify from there." can you show me what to do

Answer:  \frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{2y}

where y is positive.

The 2y in the denominator is not inside the fourth root

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

Work Shown:

\sqrt[4]{\frac{5x}{8y}}\\\\\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{5x*2y^3}{8y*2y^3}}\ \ \text{.... multiply top and bottom by } 2y^3\\\\\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{10xy^3}{16y^4}}\\\\\\\frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{\sqrt[4]{16y^4}} \ \ \text{ ... break up the fourth root}\\\\\\\frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{\sqrt[4]{(2y)^4}} \ \ \text{ ... rewrite } 16y^4 \text{ as } (2y)^4\\\\\\\frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{2y} \ \ \text{... where y is positive}\\\\\\

The idea is to get something of the form a^4 in the denominator. In this case, a = 2y

To be able to reach the 16y^4, your teacher gave the hint to multiply top and bottom by 2y^3

For more examples, search out "rationalizing the denominator".

Keep in mind that \sqrt[4]{(2y)^4} = 2y only works if y isn't negative.

If y could be negative, then we'd have to say \sqrt[4]{(2y)^4} = |2y|. The absolute value bars ensure the result is never negative.

Furthermore, to avoid dividing by zero, we can't have y = 0. So all of this works as long as y > 0.

A culture started with 5,000 bacteria. After 4 hours, it grew to 6,000 bacteria. predict how many bacteria will be present after
Tasya [4]

Answer:

y = 10852 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is exponential growth

y = a  b^x  where a is the initial amount , b is the growth rate and x is the time

At time 0, we have 5000 bacteria

5000 = a * b^0

5000 = a *1

a = 1

At 4 hours, we have 6000 bacteria

6000 = 5000 * b^4

Divide each side by 5000

6000/5000 = b^4

6/5 = b^4

Take the 4th root of each side

(6/5)^(1/4) = (b^4)^(1/4)

1.046635139 = b

Our equation is

y = 5000 (1.046635139) ^ x

We want to find the number of bacteria present after 17 hours

y = 5000 (1.046635139)^17

y=10851.51313

To the nearest whole number

y = 10852 bacteria

Given sin θ = 7/25, find the value of a and b in the following statements.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a = 7, b = 24 if quadrant 1

a = -7, b = -24 if quadrant 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan theta = sin(theta) × sec(theta)

a/24 = (7/25) × (25/b)

ab = 168

a = 168/b

1 + tan²(theta) = sec²(theta)

1 + a²/576 = 625/b²

1 + 168²/576b² = 625/b²

1 = 576/b²

b = 24 (+ or -)

a = 168/24 = 7 (+ or -)

50 centimeters to meters<br> 6.3 meters to centimeters
Elenna [48]

0.5 meters in 50 centimeters because there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. so 100/50 is 50 which is a half or 0.5.

630 centimeters in 6.3 meters. 6.3*100=630
