Question 122614: I have three questions.
1. Simplify [√(32xy^7)/(√2xy)] I think it is 4y^3 but not sure if it is
[√ 4y^3]
2. Simplify and combine like radicals.
[5(forth root√(16x) + 5(forth root √625x]. I have 25(forth root√x) is that correct?
3. Simplify the expression by rationalizing the demoninator √[3/7]. This one I have no idea what they are talking about.
Thank you in advance for any assistance .

Question 122545: I have two questions that have to do with the same model. For the following function, C computes the cost in millions of dollars of implementing a city recycling project when x percent of the citizens participate.
C(x)= 1.5x/100-x
Using this model, approximately what is the cost if 60% of the citizens participate?
Using this model, estimate the percentage of participation that can be excepted if $5 million is spent on this recycling project? Set up an equation and solve algebraically. Round to the nearest whole percent.
I don't understand how to do this so any suggestions will be very helpful. Thank you
