Is the square root of 12 rational or irrational?

<h3>Answer: Irrational</h3>

We cannot write sqrt(12) as a fraction of two whole numbers

Note how sqrt(12) = 3.464 and the decimal portion goes on forever without any known pattern (and it doesnt repeat either).

Compare this to something like sqrt(16) = 4 which can be written as a fraction 4/1, so sqrt(16) is rational

What is the length of segment CD question mark

blagie [28]

Answer:

CD = two square root of 10 end square root

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of a segment, use the distance formula. Substitute the order pairs for the endpoints of the segment. CD has the end points (-7, -4) and (-1, -2).

$d = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{(-4--2)^2 + (-7--1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{-2^2 + -6^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 36}\\\\d=\sqrt {40} = 2\sqrt{10}$

Which statement best explains the value of 17 - (-3)?

djverab [1.8K]

B) the additive inverse of -3 is +3, so 17-(-3) = 20 is your answer.

Remember, two negatives = one positive, and so:

- (-3) = 3

17 + 3 = 20

Therefore, B is your answer
