6+radical 2 State the conjugate and then multiply them together. Please hurry.
Hint: The conjugate of \(\large a+\sqrt{b}\) is \(\large a-\sqrt{b}\)
when you multiply them together, you get \[\large (a+\sqrt{b})(a-\sqrt{b}) = a^2 - (\sqrt{b})^2\] \[\large (a+\sqrt{b})(a-\sqrt{b}) = a^2 - b\]
So would the final answer be 6^2-(radical2)^2?
you can simplify further
6-(radical 2)?
6^2 = ??
36-(radical 2)^2?
is it 36-(radical 2)^2
The conjugate of \(\large 6+\sqrt{2}\) is \(\large 6-\sqrt{2}\) When you multiply them together, you get \[\large (6+\sqrt{2})(6-\sqrt{2}) = 6^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2\] \[\large (6+\sqrt{2})(6-\sqrt{2}) = 36 - 2\] \[\large (6+\sqrt{2})(6-\sqrt{2}) = 34\] So, Conjugate: \(\large 6-\sqrt{2}\) Answer you get when you multiply original expression by conjugate: 34
Thanks a million onbe more question though
(radical 2x-8)+10=6
i needs to solve and i only have 3 minutes
oh this is timed?
i have to go and i wanna finish this
well sorry I can't help with tests
its homework, im leaving for a roadtrip and dont want to have work when i get back on sunday
ok, but 3 min isn't a lot of time, sorry esp for something this complicated
so maybe it's best to save it til you get back
