I think 10 is B

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do you think 10 is B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did it on my calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But can you do it by hand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No i can not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to FOIL?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't know how to multiply the two out?

Hi @selenaannerios for Q 8. √5 + 6 √5 it probably helps if you thing of this one in terms of "a" or "apples" √5 + 6 √5 = a + 6a = 7a so answer is 7 √5 does this make sense @selenaannerios ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

for Q9. 3 √5 + 6 √45 first break it down into smaller terms 3 √5 + 6 √45 ... 45 is a factor of 5 and 9 = 3 √5 + 6 √5 x √9 ... sqrt of 9 is 3 = 3 √5 + 6 √5 x 3 = 3 √5 + 6 x 3 √5 = 3 √5 + 18 √5 now if it helps again substitute √5 for "a" = 3a + 18a = 21a now subsitiute back to √5 = 21 √5 follow ok? @selenaannerios ?

Thank you!

for Q10. (5+ √3)(5- √3) FOIL technique that @halorazer mentioned before is something you'll have to learn a site that explains the basics well is: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/foil-method.html or http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/polynomials-multiplying.html or http://www.mathwords.com/f/foil_method.htm for your question specifically, we'll run through quickly (5 + √3) (5 - √3) ...substitute out = (a + b ) (c + d) ... now using FOIL, becomes: = (a x c ) + (a x d) + (b x c) + (b x d) ... now substitute back and solve = (a x c ) + (a x d) + (b x c) + (b x d) = (5 x 5 ) + (5 x [- √3]) + (√3 x 5) + (√3 x - √3) = 25 + -5√3 + 5√3 + -3 = 25 -5√3 + 5√3 -3 = 25 - 3 = 22

OpenStudy (jack1):

all good, no worries are you understanding these ok now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Some what. i'm failing math though. I'm at 69% and if i fail this it goes down and i retake this class for the 3rd time.. could i message you and get help?\

OpenStudy (jack1):

sure thing, shoot
