Remove all perfect squares from inside the square root√ 72

Answers

Answer:

8.48

Step-by-step explanation:

After removing the perfect square inside √72 we get,

6√2

The given square root is,

√72

Since we know that,

A perfect square is a number that is stated as the product of an integer multiplied by itself. The perfect square is also represented as the second exponent of an integer since the same number is multiplied twice. The squares of all integers are hence referred to as perfect squares.

Simplify the square root of 72.

Factor 72 into 36 and 2,

Giving us the square root of 36 times the square root of 2.

Therefore,

√72 = √36 x √2

We know that the square root of 36 is 6,

So we can substitute that in:

√72 = 6 x √2

Hence after removing the perfect square inside √72 we get,

6√2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start out simple by finding out the number of cars in each category.

30 remote-controlled cars

90 non remote-controlled cars.

20% of the remote controlled cars are yellow, meaning that there are 6 yellow remote controlled cars.

Since 50% of the total cars are yellow, there are 60 yellow cars. Subtracting this from the yellow remote controlled cars, there are 54 yellow non remote contolled cars.

What this means is that 54/90 of the non-remote cars are yellow, and 36/90 of the non-remote cars are yellow. 36/90 is just 2/5, which means that our answer is H, 40%.

And give brainliest

Answers

Answer:

1st circle: 1.25

Second circle: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the cross product property here to find the value of what's in the circles.

Let's first look at the first two fractions.

[tex]\frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

We can multiply the cross values and divide by the number that is diagonal to the variable.

[tex]5\cdot1 = 5\\5\div4 = 1.25[/tex]

So 1.25 goes in the first circle.

Now let's look at the last two circles and use the same property to find the missing value.

[tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{0.5}{x}\\ 4\cdot0.5 = 2\\2\div1 = 2[/tex]

So 2 goes in the second circle.

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Any inscribed quadrilateral (quadrilateral in a circle) has opposite angles that add up to 180 degrees.

So looking at he picture we can see that, (x+16) + (6x-4) = 180.

So your answer is B.

Answer:

Hey There!! The answer to this is B: angle P + angle R = 180

angle O + angle Q = 180

Here, they are only interested in R, therefore the first equation will be enough to solve for R.

angle P + angle R = 180

y + (3y + 8) = 180

We need to solve for y, so put that y value in (3y + 8) to find angle R.

y + (3y + 8) = 180

y + 3y + 8 = 180

We add the y terms: 4y + 8 = 180

Subtract 8 from both sides: 4y = 180-8 = 172

Divide both sides by 4

y = 172/4 = 43

Angle R = 3y + 8

Put y = 43 and calculate R.

R = 3(43) + 8

R = 137

Therefore, the measure of angle R is B:

Find the average rate of change of g(x)= – x2 over the interval [ – 8, – 2]. Write your answer as an integer, fraction, or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth. Simplify any fractions.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Average\ Rate = 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]g(x) = -x^2[/tex]

[tex](-8,-2)[/tex]

Required

Determine the average rate of change;

Average rate of change is calculated as thus;

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{g(b) - g(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

Where

[tex](a,b) = (-8,-2)[/tex]

i.e. a = -8 and b = -2

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{g(b) - g(a)}{b - a}[/tex] becomes

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{g(-2) - g(-8)}{-2 - (-8)}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{g(-2) - g(-8)}{-2 + 8}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{g(-2) - g(-8)}{6}[/tex]

Calculating g(-2)

Substitute -2 for x in [tex]g(x) = -x^2[/tex]

[tex]g(-2) = -(-2)^2[/tex]

[tex]g(-2) = -4[/tex]

Calculating g(-8)

Substitute -8 for x in [tex]g(x) = -x^2[/tex]

[tex]g(-8) = -(-8)^2[/tex]

[tex]g(-8) = -64[/tex]

Substitute values for g(-2) and g(-8)

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{g(-2) - g(-8)}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{-4 - (-64)}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{-4 + 64}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ Rate = \frac{60}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ Rate = 10[/tex]

Hence, the average rate of change is 10

The average rate of change is 10.

what are the four different ways to solve a quadratic equation? When would you prefer to use each method?

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

factoring , using square roots , completing the square and the quadratic formular

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The four main ways to solve a quadratic equation are:

1) Factoring, 2) Completing the Square, 3) Graphing, and 4) Quadratic Formula.

Each method has it's own pros and cons.

1) Factoring. You should factor when the given equation is easily factor-able or already factored. For instance:

[tex]0=x^2-4x-12\\0=(x+7)(x-1)[/tex]

These problems are easily factored so factoring is preferred here. However, factoring will not always work.

2) Completing the Square. You complete the square if you are able to complete the perfect square trinomial with only integers. For instance:

[tex]x^2-2x-7=0\\(x^2-2x+1)-7-1=0\\(x-2)^2-8=0[/tex]

However, you wound't use completing the square if:

[tex]x^2-3x+2=0\\(x^2-3x+9/4)+2-9/4=0[/tex]

The perfect square trinomial includes fractions so you would use alternative methods here (and factoring works here!).

Despite the complexity of completing the square, if done correctly, it works every time. However, sometimes, it can be time-consuming.

3) Graphing. Graphing (if on paper) is time-consuming. You would only use graphing when you only need an approximation. Unless directed to, you probably won't need to use graphing.

However, if you have a graphing calculator, graphing the equation can allow you to check your answer. So, graphing won't get you precise answer, but it will allow you to check your answer is necessary.

4) Quadratic Formula. Use the quadratic formula if the equation isn't factor-able and completing the square is too tedious. For instance:

[tex]4.1x^2-3x-7=0\\[/tex]

This doesn't seem factor-able and completing the square will take a while. Graphing won't get the exact answer, so the quadratic formula is the only avenue left.

The quadratic method, like completing the square, will always work.

Only con is that you need to memorize the formula.
