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 computer program selects blue,red,green as the background color each time the program is used.The program was used 45 times on
forsale [732]

Answer:

Option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

A computer program selects blue,red,green as the background color each time the program is used.

Blue background = 12 times

Red background = 21 times

Green background = (45-12-21) times = 12 times

Blue background = Green background

Red background ≠ Green background

Green is just as likely as blue to appear, but not as likely as red.

Therefore, the correct option is b.
