Assuming x > 0, which of these expressions is equivalent to 11 times the square root of 245 x to the third plus 9 times the square root of 45 x to the third? ?
heya
Hey :)
...which of which expressions dude, is there more to the q...?
Umm...let me see.. 5 x times the square root of 104 x 20 times the square root of 290 x to the sixth 20 x times the square root of 290 x 104 x times the square root of 5 x
k so use BODMAS rules to kinda guess the order of operations here: i think the question looks something like:
11 times the square root of 245 x to the third plus 9 times the square root of 45 x to the third? ? \[11 \times \sqrt{245x ^{3}} + \sqrt{45x ^{3}}\]
but it may be ... (245x)^3 and (45x)^3 ... which changes everything but lets assume the first guess is correct and see how we go
Here ill type it up. :)
cool
\[11\sqrt{245^3} + 9\sqrt{45^3}\] There ya go^^
ah, nice, i missed the 9, cheers man
lol your helping me a ton already thanks ^-^
so, starting at the back, the factors of 45 are: 9 and 5 so sqrt 45 = (sqrt 5) times (sqrt 9) = (sqrt 5) times (3) \[=3 \sqrt{5}\]
now sqrt is the same as (to the power of half) so \[\sqrt{x ^{3}} = (x ^{3})^{0.5} = (x ^{3})^{1/2} = x ^{(3\times(1/2)}\] \[= x ^{3/2}\]
so expanding that out youve got 9 * 3 * x^(3/2) * sqrt 5 = 27 * sqrt 5 * x^(3/2)
You may have just lost me lol :P
bear with me, it'll come together and make sense at the end, promise
lol k :D
now the start factors of 245 = 5 and 49 (5*49=245) and 49 = 7 *7 = 7^2 so sqrt of 245 = sqrt 49 times sqrt 5 = 7 times sqrt 5 \[=7\sqrt{5}\]
so 11 times sqrt (245x^3) = 11 * 7 * sqrt 5 * x^(3/2)
\[x ^{(3/2)} = x \times \sqrt{x}\]
so bring it all together now:
20080√5x^3/2??
11*7 = 77 so 77x * sqrt (5x) plus 3*9 = 27 so 27x *sqrt (5x) so final answer should be: 77x * sqrt (5x) + 27x *sqrt (5x)
That ones not up there on the list :'(
if you add the like terms tho it becomes 104x * sqrt (5x)
you can add the 27 and the 77 together as they are both to the same x value
\[104x \times \sqrt (5x) \] is one of your answers tho... ;D
Ohhh I see NOW!!!
sweet! all good, need any clarification on any of the steps dude...?
Nah bro I got it when I look back at it now! :)
noice, slaters then!
