Use Einstein's special-relativity equation $$R_{a}=R_{f} \sqrt{1-\left(\frac{v}{c}\right)^{2}}$$ described in the Blitzer Bonus on page 47,to solve this exercise. You are moving at \(90 \%\) of the speed of light. Substitute 0.9c for v, your velocity, in the equation. What is your aging rate, correct to two decimal places, relative to a friend on Earth? If you are gone for 44 weeks, approximately how many weeks have passed for your friend?
What difference is there in simplifying \(\sqrt[3]{(-5)^{3}}\) and \(\sqrt[4]{(-5)^{4} ?}\)
Factor Completely. $$12 x^{2}(x-1)-4 x(x-1)-5(x-1)$$
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. A. Use a calculator to approximate \(\sqrt{300}\) to two decimal places. B. Use a calculator to approximate \(10 \sqrt{3}\) to two decimal places. C. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), what can you conclude?
Simplify by reducing the index of the radical. $$ \sqrt[9]{x^{6}} $$
