Which choice is equivalent to the fraction below when X is an appropriate value? Hint: Rationalize denominator and simplify
Answers
Answer:
Option A. –2 – 2√2
Step-by-step explanation:
√8 / √2 – 2
The above expression can be simplified as follow.
√8 / (√2 – 2)
Rationalise by multiplying the numerator and denominator with the conjugate of (√2 – 2) i.e (√2 + 2). This is illustrated below:
√8 / (√2 – 2) × (√2 + 2)/(√2 + 2)
√8(√2 + 2) / (√2 – 2)(√2 + 2)
√16 + 2√8 / 2 + 2√2 – 2√2 – 4
√16 + 2√8 / 2 – 4
√16 + 2√8 / –2
Recall
√16 = 4
√8 = √(4×2) = √4 × √2 = 2√2
Thus,
√16 + 2√8 / –2 = 4 + 2×2√2 / –2
= (4 + 4√2) / –2
= 4/–2 + 4√2/–2
= –2 – 2√2
Therefore,
√8 / (√2 – 2) = –2 – 2√2
Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question.

A triangle has angles with measures of (3x) (2x - 13)", and (5x+3).
What is the measure of the smallest angle in the triangle?
O A. 17°
O B. 190
O c. 25°
OD. 57°
Answers
Answer:
c. 25°
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of angles in a triangle:
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180º.
In this question:
Angles of 3x, 2x-13 and 5x + 3.
The sum is 180º. So
[tex]3x + 2x - 13 + 5x + 3 = 180[/tex]
[tex]10x - 10 = 180[/tex]
[tex]10x = 190[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{190}{10}[/tex]
[tex]x = 19[/tex]
Measure of each angle:
3x = 3(19) = 57º
2x - 13 = 2(19) - 13 = 38 - 13 = 25º
5x + 13 = 5(19) + 3 = 95 + 3 = 98º
The smallest angle is 25º, and the correct answer is given by option c.

Top = LW = (20)(17)
Bottom = LW = (20)(15)
Back = LW = (20)(8)
2 Triangular Ends = One square = LW = (8)(15)
Total Surface Area = (20)(17) + (20)(15) + (20)(8) + (8)(15)
= (20)(17 + 15 + 8) + (8)(15)
= (20)(40) + (8)(15)

A computer technician notes that 40% of computers fail because of the hard drive, 20% fail due to the processor, 15% of problems are with the keyboard, and 5% of problems are due to something else. What is the mean of the number of computers he will work on before seeing his first computer that has failed because of the hard drive?
Since there are four categories, the technician can expect 4 computers until one has failed due to the hard drive.
Since 40% is equivalent to Two-fifths, it is expected that Five-halves = 2.5 computers until one has failed due to the hard drive.
Since the highest percentage of failure is due to the hard drive, the technician can expect that the first computer will have failed due to the hard drive. So the expected value is 1.
Since it is more likely that a computer has failed due to some other issue, the technician can expect the first computer to fail due to some other issue, and the second to fail due to the hard drive. So the expected value is 2

We often deal with weighted means, in which different data values carry different weights in the calculation of the mean. For example, if the final exam counts for 50% of your final grade and 2 midterms each count for 25%, then you must assign weights of 50% and 25% to the final and midterms, respectively, before computing the mean score for the term. Apply the idea of weighted mean in the following exercise.
A student is taking an advanced anatomy class in which the midterm and final exams are worth 30% each and homework is worth 40% Of his final grade. On a 100-point scale, his midterm exam score was 82.5, his homework average score was 91.6, and his final exam score was 88.6.
Required:
a. On a 100-point scale, what is the student's overall average for the class?
b. The student was hoping to get an A in the class, which requires an overall score of 93.5 or higher. Could he have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class?
Answers
Answer:
a) The student's overall average for the class is 87.97.
b) He would need a score above 100 to get an A, which means that he could not have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class.
Step-by-step explanation:
Weighed average:
To solve this question, we find the student's weighed average, multiplying each of his grade by his weights.
Grades and weights:
Scored 82.5 on the midterm, worth 30%.
Scored 88.6 on the final exam, worth 30%.
Scored 91.6 on the homework, worth 40%.
a. On a 100-point scale, what is the student's overall average for the class?
Multiplying each grade by it's weight:
[tex]A = 82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3 + 91.6*0.4 = 87.97[/tex]
The student's overall average for the class is 87.97.
b. The student was hoping to get an A in the class, which requires an overall score of 93.5 or higher. Could he have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class?
Score of x on the final class, and verify that the average could be 93.5 or higher. So
[tex]A = 82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3 + 0.4x[/tex]
[tex]A \geq 93.5[/tex]
[tex]82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3 + 0.4x \geq 93.5[/tex]
[tex]0.4x \geq 93.5 - (82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3)[/tex]
[tex]x \geq \frac{93.5 - (82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3)}{0.4}[/tex]
[tex]x \geq 105.425[/tex]
He would need a score above 100 to get an A, which means that he could not have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class.

First find the circumference of the circle:
Circumference = 2 x radius x pi
Circumference = 2 x 4 x 3.14 = 25.12 cm
Now arc ML is 100 degrees.
Multiply the circumference by the arc degree/360 ( 360 is a full circle)
25.12 x 100/360 = 6.98 cm
The answer is 6.98 cm
A vehicle owner interested in her vehicle’s fuel economy calculated the gas mileage in miles per gallon (mpg) each time she filled her tank, for several years. Here are the mpg values for a random sample of 20 of these records. Suppose that the standard deviation is known to be σ = 3.5 mpg.
Required:
Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean of gas mileage for this vehicle.
Answers
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the mean of gas mileage for this vehicle is (S - 1.53, S + 1.53), in which S is the mean of the sample of 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.53[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is S - 1.53.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is S + 1.53.
The 95% confidence interval for the mean of gas mileage for this vehicle is (S - 1.53, S + 1.53), in which S is the mean of the sample of 20.
