Radicals/293344: how would you solve this proof? 1 solutions Answer 211778 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2010-04-18 00:46:04 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given equation. Multiply both sides by the LCD 4 to clear out the fractions. Rewrite as Combine the roots on the right side using the identity Distribute and multiply Rearrange the equation. We essentially have a nested radical on the left side. In general, we have an equation in the form . The goal from here is to square both sides, gather like terms, and equate rational and irrational parts. So let's do these next tasks. Start with the given equation. Square both sides. FOIL Square to get 6. Square to get 2. Combine like terms. Combine the roots on the right side using the identity Multiply Factor 12 into 4*3 (take note that 4 is a perfect square) Break up the root using the identity given above. Take the square root of 4 to get 2. Multiply From here, we can see that the two numbers are equal since the rational parts are equal and the irrational parts are equal. So this confirms that Note: Ideally, you'll only manipulate one side to transform it into the other. However, this is much more difficult to do with nested radicals. I find that algebraic manipulations suffice in this case. As a final check, you can use a calculator to find that both sides approximate to the value 0.258819045 (which helps verify the answer).

I'm assuming that you want to graph this. Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 2 So starting at , go up 1 unit and to the right 2 units to get to the next point Now draw a line through these points to graph So this is the graph of through the points and

Graphs/293265: Write the following equation in function form. Then graph it. 2y+3x=2 1 solutions Answer 211718 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2010-04-17 17:10:14 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! First we must solve for y: Start with the given equation. Subtract from both sides. Rearrange the terms. Divide both sides by to isolate y. Break up the fraction. Reduce. Now replace 'y' with f(x) to get So the function is Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is -3 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 3 and over 2 So starting at , go down 3 units and to the right 2 units to get to the next point Now draw a line through these points to graph So this is the graph of through the points and

Rectangles/293259: i am just practicing here. This is my question: The length of a rectangle is 2 ft. more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 feet. Find the length. Tell me if this is the correct way. P= 2L + 2L P= 2*(2) + 20 P= 4 + 20 P= 24 L= 6 because 24 divided by 4 = 6(answer) 1 solutions Answer 211702 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2010-04-17 16:08:56 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm not sure how you got that answer (it's the correct answer) since your steps are incorrect. Let L = length and W = width Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is . Since the length is 2 ft more than the width, we can say that Start with the given equation. Plug in and Distribute. Combine like terms. Subtract 4 from both sides. Combine like terms. Divide both sides by 4 to isolate W. Reduce. So the width is ft and the length is ft
