Multiply open parentheses 6 plus square root of 5 end root open parentheses 4 minus 2 square root of 5
help pls
Do you know how to expand expressions using the FOIL method?
no..
First Inner Outer Last You multiply the first term in each bracket, multiply the inner terms of the two brackets (so sqrt(5) and 4), multiply the outer terms (6 and -2*sqrt(5)) and the last terms (sqrt(5) and -2*sqrt(5)) You add all these together and with a little bit of simplification you'll get the right answer. Remember to take the signs of each term into account
Basically: (a+b)(c-d) = ac + bc - ad - bd
I got A, is that correct?
Nope, the correct answer is b
sqrt(5)*(-2*sqrt(5)) = -2*5 = -10
ooo yeah i see now thanks
mind helping me with a few more?
I can probably do that
i got D but idk if thats correct
When you multiply common bases (x) with exponents, you simply add the exponents together. For this one you just need to use a common denominator
so it's not D?
No it's C
oh so you have to keep the x/8 ?
I'm not sure what you mean. 1/4 = 2/8 so x^(1/4) * x^(5/8) = x^(2/8) * x^(5/8) = x^(7/8)
oo ok i see thanks
help me with these please
If you follow order of operations (Either PEMDAS or BEDMAS) you should get the answers to these
ok i got B for the first one?
You'll have to try that one again. To get rid of the square root you need to square both sides.
can u write that out for me?
\[\sqrt{(x-2) } = -4\] \[(x-2) = (-4)^2 \] \[x-2 = 16\] \[x = 18\]
