Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

Proof: Assume that a + b = x and that x is rational.

Then b = x – a = x + (–a).

Now, x + (–a) is rational because addition of  two rational numbers is rational (Additivity property).

However, it was stated that b is an irrational number. This is a contradiction.

Therefore, the assumption that x is rational in the equation a + b = x must be incorrect, and x should be an irrational number.

Hence,  the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

What is the volume of the solid?
Evgen [1.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (9√3 -3π/2) ft^3 ≈ 10.88 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the hexagon is given by the formula ...

  A = (3/2)√3·s^2 . . . . for side length s

The area of the hexagonal face of this solid is ...

  A = (3/2)√3·(2 ft)^2 = 6√3 ft^2

__

The area of the circular hole in the hexagonal face is ...

  A = πr^2

The radius is half the diameter, so is r = (2 ft)/2 = 1 ft.

  A = π(1 ft)^2 = π ft^2

Then the area of the "solid" part of the face of the figure is ...

  A = (6√3 -π) ft^2

__

The volume is ...

  V = Bh . . . . . where B is the area of the base of the prism, and h is its height

  V = ((6√3 -π) ft^2)(3/2 ft) = (9√3 -3π/2) ft^3 ≈ 10.88 ft^3

The Math Club is raising money so they can attend a local competition next month. They have already raised $125 and they are sel
prisoha [69]

Answer: 100 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

You did not include the question but judging by the progression I can assume that the question is along the lines of how many candy bars they will need to sell to reach their target.

You did not include the amount they have to raise as well so let us assume that number is $375.

Assuming they have to raise $375 and they have already raised $125, the amount left to be raised is:

= 375 - 125

= $250

With each candy bar selling at $2.50, the number of candy bars they will need to sell is:

= 250/ 2.50

= 100 candy bars

<em>You should use this process to find the answer to your question. </em>
