Can CuCl and Me6TREN form radicals? Reaction is at room temp and in water (not buffered)

In order to write next step in all four equations above l used the definition of radicals. ##\sqrt a=b## means ##b^2=a##. Squaring both sides also works. I don’t know if it’s right. I mean I read that ##(\sqrt a)^2=a##. But I don’t know if we can apply this on expressions. Main problem is if we...

Evaluate the integral $I_4=\displaystyle\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos{x}}{2}} \, dx $ ok offhand i think what is in the radical is trig identity but might be better way...

So I simplify the expression and get 2 x 3^2 x 7 = 84 and get ##2 \sqrt{21(y−2)^{3/2}}## I don't follow how the answer is ##2(y -2) \sqrt{21 ( y - 2) }##

What sort of number is cos(40) ? You can solve the equation: $$ 4 \cos^{3}40 -3\cos40+0,5=0 $$ but you end up with complex numbers requiring a cube root. The polar angle gets divided by 3 and you end up needing cos(20) or cos(10) in your answer. No way (it seems) to express as a radical or...

Assume you have a radial equation (eg. x+4 = √(x+10) ) that you want to solve for "x". To solve: \begin{align} (x+4 & = \sqrt[2] {x+10})^2 \nonumber \\ (x+4)^2 &= |x+10| \nonumber \end{align} For my question, we are only going to consider the case where x+10 < 0: \begin{align}...

Dear Everyone, This post is not a homework assignment... I want to use the quartic formula. In one step is to solve the resolvent cubic. I know that there is 3 real solutions this particular resolvent cubic. I want to know how Bombelli got his answers before the discovery of the trigonometric...

Evaluate $$\int_0^{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos{x}}{2}}\,dx$$ ok my baby step is $$\int _0^{2\pi }\frac{\sqrt{1-\cos \left(x\right)}}{\sqrt{2}}dx$$ then ? W|A said the answer was 4

Ok I tried to follow an example but kinda got lost in this maybe more steps the answer is from W|A

If $x^2+y^2+z^2+xyz=4$ and that $x,\,y,\,x\ge 0$, prove $3!\sqrt{x}+2!y+1!z^2\le 13$.

NOTE:This is not a homework question! This is just a topic that I like very much,but don’t have the programming ability to do many of them.That’s why I post this thread. C++ is a language without built-in big integer calculation functions,so building ones that can do such job is a great way to...

Hi, I know that, at least formally, the index of a radical should be positive and integer. That is if I introduce \sqrt[x]{2} I need to assume x\in \mathbb N and x>0. However, my calculator has no problem in calculating the radical for any x\neq 0, say x=-\pi. The result it gives is based on...

Homework Statement Evaluate: ##\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} {\frac{3x^3+2}{\sqrt{x^4-2}}}## Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution For limits involving fractions, it's a good idea to divide the numerator and the denominator by the highest degree x in the fraction. In doing this, we can...

I am seeing from my results that an oxidation process is taking place, the pollutants degradation correlates closely with the formation of radicals. However, in one case there are less radicals produced and there is no degradation... I would like to ask if on occasions there must be a...

I'm trying to help my son with homework and can't get the following problem x\sqrt{3}+x\sqrt{2}=1 Please help

The picture shows a simple problem. However, my question has to do with multiplication of radicals. I know how to use FOIL. sqrt{x - 3} • sqrt{x} is slightly confusing. Do I multiply radicand times radicand? My question is: Does sqrt{x - 3} • sqrt{x} become sqrt{x^2 - 3x} in the FOIL...

Simplify sqrt{12x^7} Solution: sqrt{4•3•x^6•x} 2x^3(sqrt{3x}) Is this correct? Note 1: According to wolfram, the answer is 2sqrt{3}•sqrt{x^7} Note 2: The term x^3 in my answer comes from the breakdown of sqrt{x^7} as sqrt{x^6•x}. Isn't sqrt{x^6} the same as x^3?

(-2sqrt{8 - 2{7}})^2 (-2sqrt{8 - 2{7}})(-2sqrt{8 - 2{7}}) 4(8 - 2sqrt{7}) Correct?

Solve for all real number t values. sqrt {2t + 5} - sqrt {8t + 25} + sqrt {2t + 8} = 0 I see there are no constants in this problem. I typically isolate the radical on one side of the equation and the constant (s) on the other side but there are 3 radicals on the left side. This is strange...

Determine all of the real number solutions for the radical equation. sqrt {x^4 - 13x^2 + 37} = 1 Hint given in textbook: Let x^2 = t and x^4 = t^2 After applying the hint given, do I proceed as usual by squaring both sides? I have to back-substitute somewhere in the solution steps, right...

How does (2sqrt{7})(sqrt{8 - 2sqrt{7}) become 2(7 - sqrt{7})?

Let frt = fifth root Let sqrt = square root Show that frt{176 + 80sqrt{5}} = 1 + sqrt{5} Do I raise both sides to the 5th power? Can someone get me started?

Let cbrt = cube root Let sqrt = square root Show that cbrt{2 + sqrt{5}} + cbrt{2 - sqrt{5}} = 1 without using a calculator. Can someone get me started? Do I raise both sides to the third power as step 1?

Show that the left side equals the right side without a calculator. sqrt{7} - sqrt{8 - 2sqrt{7}} = 1 I know squaring must be done here and probably more than once. I am stuck in terms of squaring the left side. [sqrt{7} - sqrt{8 - 2sqrt{7}}]^2 = (1)^2 Can someone square the left side for me...

I am solving the equation ##\sqrt{x + 3} + 4 = \sqrt{8x + 1}##. I understand that , generally, to solve it, we have to eliminate the radicals by isolating a radical expression to one side and then squaring both sides of the equation. I end up obtaining two solutions: ##x = 6## and ##x =...

I've been learning algebra for the past 2 years (in high school), not once have we ever had to rationalize a denominator in a radical expression. I am now relearning Algebra and Trig., what use is there? I mean, all you're doing is switching the numerator (rational) to the Denominator...

Dear PF Forum, Recently I'm studying an ionizer water machine. This machine claims (it's what it says) that it can turn 'ordinary' water into alkaline water and good for health. It's not the machine that I ask, but it's the alkaline property that I want to know. Why is the walter alkalinized...

I am having some trouble understanding why different sources of bromine radicals supposedly brominate an alkene at different positions. What I mean by this: In the first example, the Bromine radical attacks a hydrogen at the allylic position and then a termination reaction results in a Bromine...

Hello! I'm new to this forum but ok let's get this started, First I'll revisit the definition I know as physics; the study of nature in order to provide a reasonable(radical/rudimentary) explanation/reason. This I believe in is not quite how things are today, at school, with my teachers or at...
