Chapter 9 ;-;

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Chapter 9 ======

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|dw:1433627905280:dw| Find x (hypotenuse) shown in the above drawing.

pooja195 (pooja195):

a^2 + b^2 = c^2?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yep, now evaluate x numerically, please.

pooja195 (pooja195):

12^2+5^2=c^ 144+25=169 13^2

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So x=13 (is the final answer).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

which two consecutive integers does sqrt(200) fall between?

pooja195 (pooja195):

idk this ;-;

OpenStudy (mathmate):

10^2=100 11^2=121 12^2=144 13^2=169 14^2=196 15^2=225 16^2=256 ... which two consecutive integers does sqrt(200) fall between?

pooja195 (pooja195):

no .-.

pooja195 (pooja195):

*none

OpenStudy (mathmate):

"between" is the keyword. We know that 14^2=196, and 15^2=225 or sqrt(196)=14, sqrt(225)=15, so sqrt(200) falls between which integer numbers?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Decimals? .-.

pooja195 (pooja195):

wait no

OpenStudy (mathmate):

no, we are looking for two integer numbers! lol

pooja195 (pooja195):

This si confusing T_T lets skip this

OpenStudy (mathmate):

the answer is 14 and 15. In fact sqrt(200)=14.1421356237309.... (never ends). So we know that sqrt(200) falls between 14 and 15! You were probably thinking that it's more complicated than this!

pooja195 (pooja195):

-_-

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The hint is 14^2=196, so too small, 15^2=225, so too big. Therefore sqrt(200) must fall between 14 and 15. Is that ok?

pooja195 (pooja195):

yes

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Solve the equation 27-3y^2=0

pooja195 (pooja195):

Would you like the work or is it ok to put in the answer?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

put in the work, but LaTeX is not required.

pooja195 (pooja195):

first find a GCF 27-3y^2=0 -3 is the gcf then square root answer: −3(y+3)(y−3) set values to 0 y=3 or y=−3

pooja195 (pooja195):

/.\

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Very good, shows that you're comfortable with factoring. It will help in the later sections. You can also solve by isolating y, -3y^2=-27 y^2=9 y=\(\pm 3\)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Ready for the next one?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

an engineering student is a contestant in an egg dropping contest. The goal is to create a container for an egg so it can be dropped from a height of 32 feet without breaking. The model for the egg's height, h (in feet), at time t seconds since release, is h = -16t^2 + 32. Calculate the time at whic the egg is at a height of 10 feet above ground. Give answer to 2 decimal places.

pooja195 (pooja195):

10=-16t^2+32 subtract 32 from both sides then divide by 16 1.375= t^2 idk where to go after this

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Take out your ti-83 to finish!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

"give answer to 2 decimal places" is a hint you might need your ti-83!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

sqrt(1.375)=?

pooja195 (pooja195):

1.172604

OpenStudy (mathmate):

exactly! (1.17 for 2 decimal places).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Any questions before we move to simplifying radicals?

pooja195 (pooja195):

no

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Simplifying radicals basically is to pull things out of the square-root sign, whenever possible. For example, sqrt(4)=2 is rather straight-forward.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

But sqrt(18) is less obvious, since we write sqrt(18)=sqrt(3^2 *2)=3sqrt(2)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So I'll let your try sqrt(48) while I take a meal break!

pooja195 (pooja195):

48 6 8 3 2 42 \[2\sqrt{12}\]

OpenStudy (mathmate):

almost, just one step further sqrt(48)=sqrt(4*12)=sqrt(16*3)=sqrt(4^2 * 3)=4sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Simplify (1) sqrt(98) [98=2*7*7]

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So every factor that appears twice inside the radical you take one outside. So sqrt(98)=sqrt(2*7*7)=7sqrt(2)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Dance club.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Dance club is the method my teacher taught me because teens like to think like that

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Oh! Can you show me that?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok its been a while but eh :P 56 8 7 4 2 2 2 2 and 2 are a couble so they leave the dance club 2 squrt 2 idk if its right

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, I get the part for the leaving dance club part (ingeneous!) Then we have to keep 2*7 in the club, so we get 2sqrt(14)

pooja195 (pooja195):

lel :3

pooja195 (pooja195):

Are we done with this section ?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I usually like to see you do at least one perfect answer, like (2) sqrt(60) [60=2*2 * 3 * 5] then there is rationalize the denominator.

pooja195 (pooja195):

T_T

pooja195 (pooja195):

ok

OpenStudy (mathmate):

(2) sqrt(60) [60=2*2 * 3 * 5]

pooja195 (pooja195):

im confused whats the question? .-.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

simplify sqrt(60)

pooja195 (pooja195):

60 10 6 5 2 3 2 2 sqrt 15

pooja195 (pooja195):

T_T say im right!

pooja195 (pooja195):

Princess demands it!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, you're right, I don't think you have problem with that.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Now we move onto rationalizing the denominator.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Mathematicians traditionally do not like to see square roots in the denominator, because that would make the common denominator very messy.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Just multiply by the root

pooja195 (pooja195):

*in the denominator

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Do you want me to explain, or jump to pretest?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Pretest

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Rationalize 9sqrt(1/3)

pooja195 (pooja195):

9 squrt 3

pooja195 (pooja195):

^LOL

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Sure?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The question was \(9\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}\)

pooja195 (pooja195):

:/

pooja195 (pooja195):

this is diffrent .-.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Example: \(sqrt(\frac{2}{5}) = \frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt5}=\frac{\sqrt2\times \sqrt5}{\sqrt5^2}=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5}\)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

just a recap, we were working on simplify 9sqrt(1/3). I sent this previous example to help.

pooja195 (pooja195):

sqrt 3/ 3

OpenStudy (mathmate):

9 sqrt(1/3) = 9(sqrt(1)/sqrt(3)) = 9(sqrt(1)*sqrt(3)/(sqrt(3)^2)=9sqrt(3)/3=3sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

or \(9\sqrt{1/3}=3\frac{\sqrt3 \times \sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=3\sqrt3\)

pooja195 (pooja195):

IM IRGHT??

pooja195 (pooja195):

*RIGHT?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

no, you had the 3 as denominator, and not multiplied.

pooja195 (pooja195):

>:(

pooja195 (pooja195):

9

pooja195 (pooja195):

.-.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

not 9, it's \(3\sqrt3\) :)

pooja195 (pooja195):

>:(

OpenStudy (mathmate):

ok, try this one: Simplify \(\Large \sqrt{\frac{25}{3}}\)

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\frac{ 5\sqrt{3} }{ 3 }\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

Am i right?
