√(14q) 2√(4q) = 2 √(14 * 4 * q *q) = 2 √(4) √(q*q) √(14) = 2*2*q √(14) (simplify) * means multiplication

sorry i was eatingh

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

it's alright :) did you understand tho?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) & no can you explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its B

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

like how √5 √3 can be combined to equal √15 √(14q) 2√(4q) can be combined to equal 2√(14 * 4 * q * q) which by the same rule can be separated into 2 √(4) √(q*q) √(14) and yeah it's B :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thank you, yay can you help me some more :/

so to solve for a for a = √(-2a) square both sides to get a² = -2a then add 2a to both sides so a² + 2a = 0 then factor out an a so a(a+2) = 0 what would a equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

mmm not quite :) once you find what a equals plug it into the original equation if you get something like 2 = -2 then the number you plugged in is extraneous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm i think A

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

mmm if you plug in 0 into a = √(-2a) you would get 0 = √(0) simplifies to 0 = 0 which is true so not A :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C :D

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

correct! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayy :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

for this, think of the square roots like variables what would you get if you added 4x + 5x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yep! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayyyy :D

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

√(10/121) can be like (√10) / (√121) so then what is √121 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yep :) so you're left with √10 / 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yep :) and I gtg now, talk to ya later! It's been nice working with you <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay ya thank you :D see ya later, you tooo ^__^
