Rationalization of Denominators

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Hard of Mathematics

In a sustainable construction project, an engineer needs to calculate the amount of material needed to cover the external surface of a structure. The area to be covered is represented by the expression (4 + 2√6) m^2. The coating material is sold in rolls with a width of 2 meters and a length of 20 meters. To optimize the use of the material, the engineer wants to cut the rolls in a way that the width of the material is an integer multiple of √6 meters. The first step of this process is to determine what should be the width, in meters, of each strip of material to be cut from the roll. To rationalize the calculation, the engineer needs to express the width of the strip in terms of √6 and integers. What is the width, in meters, of each strip of material that the engineer should cut from the roll? Justify your answer by rationalizing the denominator of the fraction that represents the width of the strip of material.

During the cleaning of the cooling system of a factory, a technician must adjust a light reflector fixed on the ceiling of the room. The reflector has the shape of a right circular cone with the vertex pointing upwards and an opening angle of 75º. The technician wants to calculate the height and the radius of the base of the cone to determine the ideal dimensions of the mirrors that will be installed on the inner surface of the cone, so that the reflected light follows a beam parallel to the floor. Consider that the angle of incidence of light on the inner surface of the cone should be 15º with the normal to the surface at the point of incidence to ensure total reflection of light. Based on this configuration, determine the height and the radius of the base of the cone, and additionally, identify the value of the sine and cosine of 22.5º, an angle that arises in the resolution of the problem.

Consider a Cartesian coordinate system where a point P has coordinates (a, b) and a point Q has coordinates (c, d). The absolute value of a number is defined as its distance from the origin of this system. If point P is in the second quadrant and point Q is in the fourth quadrant, with a, b, c, and d being integers, and it is known that the absolute difference between the y coordinates of P and Q is 15, determine the value of a - c, knowing that a < 0 and c > 0.
