In the slideshow simplifying radicals, under media in chapter 9, one specific condition to satisfy is to use the quotient rule.

a. true
b. false

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics, A radical symbol is defined as √

It is an expression that is uses a root, such as the square root (√ ) or cube root ( ∛ )

To fully show a radical expression:

A is the radicand

√ is the radical symbol

Here, the degree is 2.

Quotient Rule for Radicals

For non- negative real numbers, x and y:

=

Example :

= = = 2

So, in simplifying radicals, quotient rule is used as demonstrated above. So the condition is true

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
