Quick! Basic Algebrba Help needed!

Posted on 10/28/2003 7:47:59 PM PST by Tunehead54

Quick before the AM gets back from the 'fridge!

My daughter is doing a re-test but I can't figure this out - its algebra in a geometry class?

Simplify each radical:

A) Sq.Rt. of 80 = 4* Sq.Rt of 5 (This is marked "correct")

B) Sq.Rt. of 700 =

C) Sq.Rt. of 75 =

D) Sq.Rt. of 48 =

I'm looking on the net and reading about pulling out multiples of perfect squares but I'm getting titrted! Any help will be appreciated by us math-deprived types!

;-)

The four corner numbers add to 34
as do the four interior numbers.

Aw, I could never stay mad at a lady named Libertina! I am a devout libertinaarian.

Not, however, a twitterpated libertinaarian :-) :-)

That's an interesting method. I'll try it later.
I like continued fractions and infinite series also.

.25*((1-x^2)^-.75)
Of course, I have been doing a lot of drinking since I took calculus 8 years ago.

Are you doing this tests for her? Or is this just her homework?
I was going to but I couldn't fit into her jeans to go in disguise - also she's got gold braces and they're very hard to find in halloween/party stores. ;-)

Just in case the sarc tag doesn't show - no, I just try to help her with concepts - she has to apply them all by herself.

I'm not sure what does it look like? I do have a family and if they need help I try to help them. If I can't help them then I try to find somone who can. I could ask you a rude question about the location of your head but I'm above that type of humour.

What?

To All: This is just for eniapmot - whatever that is.
