If n is rational, it means that

n\in\mathbb{Q}\Rightarrow n=\frac{p}{q},\quad p\in\mathbb{Z},\quad q\in\mathbb{Z}^*

Therefore when we do n² we can write it as

n^2=\frac{p^2}{q^2},\quad p\in\mathbb{Z},\quad q\in\mathbb{Z}^*

Remember that the product of two integer numbers is also an integer, therefore we can guarantee that

p^2\in\mathbb{Z}\text{ and }q^2\in\mathbb{Z}^*

Then we can confirm that n² is the quotient of two integers and the denominator is not zero, therefore, n² is always rational, it cannot be an irrational number

Answer:

<h3>x = 2</h3><h3 />

Step-by-step explanation:

use Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

where a = x

           b = 8/2 = 4  

           c = √20

plugin values into the formula:

x² + 4² = (√20)²

x² + 16 = 20

x² = 20 - 16

x = √4

x = 2

Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  mean incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.

Let X be the incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.

X is N(25, 1)

a) Normal curve is in the attached file

b) the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 23 days

=P(X

we convert x into Z score and use std normal distn table to find probability

P(X

i.e. we can say only 2.5% proportion will hatch in less than 23 days.

Sloan [31]

Answer: 12s+27j≤450

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jackie has a maximum of $450 to spend on shirts and jeans and that the shirts she wants to buy are $12 each, including tax while the jeans she wants to buy are $27 each, including tax.

The inequality that represents all possible combinations of s, the number of shirts, and j, pairs of jeans, Jackie can buy will be:

= 12s+27j≤450
