Which expression results in a rational number

Possible value of k is √2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The expression, 2·(√k - 1) + √8 to which may be added -6·√2 to obtain a rational number, we therefore have;

2·(√k - 1) + √8 - 6·√2 = R

Therefore, simplifying gives;

2·√k - 2 + 2·√2  - 6·√2 =  2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 + 2= R + 2 = R

2·√k - 2+ 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k - 2+ 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k + 0 - 4·√2 = 2·√k - 4·√2 = 2·(√k - 2·√2) = R

(√k - 2·√2) = R/2 = R

Therefore, √2 is a factor of √k such that √k - 2·√2 = R

Which gives k = x·√2, where x = a rational number

When x = 1, k = √2.

Therefore, a possible value of k is √2.

you answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
