Which choice is equivalent to the fraction below when X is an appropriate value? Hint: Rationalize denominator and simplify

Option A. –2 – 2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

√8 / √2 – 2

The above expression can be simplified as follow.

√8 / (√2 – 2)

Rationalise by multiplying the numerator and denominator with the conjugate of (√2 – 2) i.e (√2 + 2). This is illustrated below:

√8 / (√2 – 2) × (√2 + 2)/(√2 + 2)

√8(√2 + 2) / (√2 – 2)(√2 + 2)

√16 + 2√8 / 2 + 2√2 – 2√2 – 4

√16 + 2√8 / 2 – 4

√16 + 2√8 / –2

Recall

√16 = 4

√8 = √(4×2) = √4 × √2 = 2√2

Thus,

√16 + 2√8 / –2 = 4 + 2×2√2 / –2

= (4 + 4√2) / –2

= 4/–2 + 4√2/–2

= –2 – 2√2

Therefore,

√8 / (√2 – 2) = –2 – 2√2

Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question.

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent
