I think that the sum will always be a rational number
let's prove that


<span>any rational number can be represented as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0

</span>and an integer is the counting numbers plus their negatives and 0
so like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4....

<span>so, 2 rational numbers can be represented as

</span>a/b and c/d (where a,b,c,d are all integers and b≠0 and d≠0)

their sum is
a/b+c/d=
ad/bd+bc/bd=
(ad+bc)/bd

1. the numerator and denominator will be integers
2. that the denominator does not equal 0

alright
1.
we started with that they are all integers
ab+bc=?
if we multiply any 2 integers, we get an integer
<span>like 3*4=12 or -3*4=-12 or -3*-4=12, etc.
</span>even 0*4=0, that's an integer
the sum of any 2 integers is an integer
like 4+3=7, 3+(-4)=-1, 3+0=3, etc.
so we have established that the numerator is an integer

now the denominator
that is just a product of 2 integers so it is an integer


<span>2. we originally defined that b≠0 and d≠0 so we're good

</span>therefore, the sum of any 2 rational numbers will always be a rational number <span>is the correct answer.</span>

write an equation of the line with the same slope as the line given by 5x+2y=8 and as the same y-intercept as 3x-7y=10
Paladinen [302]
The slope of the first equation would be -5/2 because
2y=-5x+8
y=-5x/2+4
The y intercept of the 2nd equation is when x=0, so -7y=10
y=-10/7
The equation of the line would be y=-5x/2-10/7
Or in standard form....
5x/2+y=-10/7
5x+27=-20/7

Because of a virus introduced into a bacterial culture, the population of the bacteria decreasedfrom 3000 to 1000 in 50 minutes.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

208

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Given that;

y= a(1 - b)^t

Where;

wherein y is the final amount, a is the original amount, b is the decay factor, and x is the amount of time that has passed.

To obtain the constant b,

y= ae^-bt

Substituting values;

1000 = 3000 e^-b(50)

1000/3000 = e^b(50)

0.33 = e^b-(50)

ln (0.33) = ln(e^b(-50))

-1.1 = -50b

b= 1.1/50

b= 0.022

After two hours or 120 minutes;

y= 3000(1 - 0.022)^120

y= 207.8661772

y= 208

Solve the equations if possible <br><br> * -5×=×+6(1-×)<br><br> *(2×-5)²=(2×-1)(2×+1)-10(2×-1)
Allushta [10]
-5x = x + 6(1-x)

-5x = x + 6(1) + 6(-x)
-5x = x + 6 -6x
-5x = x - 6x + 6
-5x = -5x + 6
-5x + 5x = 6
0 = 6  Not equal. No solution.

(2x-5)² = (2x-1)(2x+1) -10(2x-1)
(2x-5)(2x-5) = (2x-1)(2x+1) - 20x + 10
2x(2x-5)-5(2x-5) = 2x(2x+1)-1(2x+1) - 20x + 10
4x² - 10x -10x + 25 = 4x² + 2x - 2x -1 - 20x + 10
4x² - 20x + 25 = 4x² - 20x - 1 + 10
4x² - 20x + 25 = 4x² - 20x - 9

Not equal. No solution.
