The expression given is ambiguous according to the standard rules of math (PEMDAS) due to the lack of appropriate parentheses and probably the exponentiation symbol ^.

From the context, I assume it to mean
(3^(1/3)) / (3^(1/3)) = 1

Since 3^(1/3) is the cube-root of 3, and is thus irrational.
However, the quotient is exactly 1, which is a rational number.

The example is therefore a counter-example for the statement that "set of irrational numbers is closed under division", or stated differently,
"<span>the set of irrational numbers is not closed under division"</span>

Answer:

  x ≈ 32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation between angle, adjacent side, and hypotenuse:

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(72°) = 10/x

  x = 10/cos(72°)

  x ≈ 32.4

Choose all the numbers that are common multiples of 3 and 12.

<h3>Answers: 48 and 72</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The number 12 is a multiple of 3 because 3*4 = 12.

So when looking for common multiples of 3 and 12, we simply need to look at multiples of 12.

The multiples of 12 are:

  • 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 120, ...

We see that 48 and 72 are on the list. The values 21, 27, 63, 81 are not on the list, so cross them out.

Now we could keep that list of multiples going to see if 844 is on there or not. A better method is to divide 844 over 12. If we get a whole number, then it's a multiple of 12.

844/12 = 70.333 approximately.

This shows that 844 is <u>not</u> a multiple of 12. So we cross 844 from the list.

Only 48 and 72 are multiples of 12 (and also multiples of 3).
