The correct option is B.
From the information given in the question, we can see that only the rich in the society had telephone in their homes during the time of the said presidential election. Thus, the presidential candidate that was ahead in telephone polls was actually getting in touch with the rich only; he was not getting through to the larger part of the society, who are poor. Since both the poor and  the rich are going to vote in the presidential election, it means that Dewey campaigned to only a subset of the society, that was why he was defeated during the election.

1. the sum of two rational numbers is always always a (irrational number / rational number)
Blizzard [7]

One

The sum of two rational numbers is always rational. sqrt(9) + sqrt(25) = 3 + 5 which is rational. sqrt(16/100) = 4/10 = 2/5 is also rational. 3/28 is rational as well.

Two

Those are irrational. sqrt(10) + pi = ???? You cannot reduce this to any kind of fraction. Two irrationals always give a rational.

Three

The irrational number controls the answer. 10 + sqrt(5) is irrational. The 10 is OK. It is raional, but sqrt(5) is not a rational number.

F(x) = x2. What is g(x)?
puteri [66]

Answer:

C:  g(x) = 3x^2

Step-by-step explanation:
