To answer this adequately, you'll need to find the slope of each of the four given line segments. I note that the slope of the fourth one, NP, is

-6 + 3 -3
m = ----------- = -----
2 - 0 2

This slope is the same as that of the given line, and therefore these 2 lines are parallel, not perpendicular. So eliminate the fourth possibility and concentrate on the other 3 until you find the one that has slope +2/3. Reminder: perpendicular lines are characterized by negative reciprocal slopes.

In a particular region, for families with a combined income of $75,000 or more, 15% of these families have no children, 35% of t

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The probability distribution for x:"number of children per family for this income group" is:

$\text{P(x=0)}=0.15\\\\\text{P(x=1)}=0.35\\\\\text{P(x=2)}=0.45\\\\\text{P(x=3)}=0.05\\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information given we have the relative frequencies of each category.

We know:

$\text{P(x=0)}=0.15\\\\\text{P(x=1)}=0.35\\\\\text{P(x=2)}=0.45\\\\\text{P(x=3)}=0.05\\\\$

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.
