help question attached math
@Elsa213
Which one
wdym which one?
Do you think it is?
honestly I'd say c
Why's that?
because 13 + 3 = 16 5 + 5 = 10. Im aware thats prob not how it works but thats why I asked lol
\[a \sqrt c + b \sqrt c = (a + b) \sqrt c\]
That is the rule.
so b?
yup i got it
What you are proposing is: \[a \sqrt c + b \sqrt c = (a + b) \sqrt (c + c)\] See the difference? It isn't B..
13 is a, 3 is b, 5 is c
ok that makes it easier lol.. wait give me a sec
ok so then according to this a√c+b√c=(a+b)√c it is 13√8√5= 13 + 3 16√8?
or 16√5 then?
13√8√5= 13 + 3 16√8? You lost me
well if its c + b then 5 + 3 = 8 so I thought it would be 8 instead of 5
there is no c+b
\[(a \sqrt c) + (b \sqrt c) = (a + b) \sqrt c\]
Is that more clear?
ah ok yeah thx
so 16√5 then? D?
Correct
You can always check your work with this website: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(13+sqrt+5)+%2B+(3+sqrt+5)
@Ultrilliam why doesn't this link work?
Ok awesome thanks Shadow
I guess just google Wolfram Alpha
yeah ok thanks
Yeah just try and do the problem first, and check your work w/that. Great resource.
Perfect thx
