Answer:

1.95 x 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

First look at the 4th digit in the number 194720 as the the question said to round to 3 significant figures. If the 4th digit is more than 5, then add 1 to the third digit which results in 195000. Now the question also said to express in standard form. Look for the first non-digit number in 195000. After 1 put a decimal point and remove all the zeros after the point which results in 1.95. Now count how many digits you moved to the left which comes as 5. Write the answer as 1.95 x 10^5.

Hope you can understand this!!

Answer:

43.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set it up like 3x-5+x+1=180. Combine the variables and the numbers without a letter next to it. 4x+6=180. Subtract 6 from 180. Divide that number by 4.

Use a proof by contradiction to show that the square root of 3 is national You may use the following fact: For any integer kirke

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Let us proof that √3 is an irrational number, using <em>reductio ad absurdum</em>. Assume that $\sqrt{3}=\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are non negative integers, and the fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ is irreducible, i.e., the numbers $m$ and $n$ have no common factors.

Now, squaring the equality at the beginning we get that

$3=\frac{m^2}{n^2}$ (1)

which is equivalent to $3n^2=m^2$ . From this we can deduce that 3 divides the number $m^2$ , and necessarily 3 must divide $m$ . Thus, $m=3p$ , where $p$ is a non negative integer.

Substituting $m=3p$ into (1), we get

$3= \frac{9p^2}{n^2}$

which is equivalent to

$n^2=3p^2$ .

Thus, 3 divides $n^2$ and necessarily 3 must divide $n$ . Hence, $n=3q$ where $q$ is a non negative integer.

Notice that

$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{3p}{3q} = \frac{p}{q}$ .

The above equality means that the fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ is reducible, what contradicts our initial assumption. So, $\sqrt{3}$ is irrational.

2. Let us prove now that the multiplication of an integer and a rational number is a rational number. So, $r\in\mathbb{Q}$ , which is equivalent to say that $r=\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are non negative integers. Also, assume that $k\in\mathbb{Z}$ . So, we want to prove that $k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Z}$ . Recall that an integer $k$ can be written as

$k=\frac{k}{1}$ .

Then,

$k\cdot r = \frac{k}{1}\frac{m}{n} = \frac{mk}{n}$ .

Notice that the product $mk$ is an integer. Thus, the fraction $\frac{mk}{n}$ is a rational number. Therefore, $k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Q}$ .

3. Let us prove by <em>reductio ad absurdum</em> that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number. So, we have $x$ is irrational and $p\in\mathbb{Q}$ .

Write $q=x+p$ and let us suppose that $q$ is a rational number. So, we get that

$x=q-p$ .

But the subtraction or addition of two rational numbers is rational too. Then, the number $x$ must be rational too, which is a clear contradiction with our hypothesis. Therefore, $x+p$ is irrational.
