(show the supposition, proof and conclusion)

Mathematics
1 answer:
larisa86 [58]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a and b are rational numbers where b\neq0 and x is irrational number .

We have to prove a+bx is irrational number by contradiction.

Supposition:let  a+bx is a rational number then it can be written in \frac{p}{q} form

a+bx=\frac{p}{q} where q\neq0 where p and q are integers.

Proof:a+bx=\frac{p}{q}

After dividing p and q by common factor except 1 then we get

a+bx=\frac{r}{s}

r and s are coprime therefore, there is no common factor of r and s except 1.

a+bx=\frac{r}{s} where r and s are integers.

bx=\frac{r}{s}-a

x=\frac{\frac{r}{s}-a}{b}

When we subtract one rational from other rational number then we get again a rational number and we divide one rational by other rational number then we get quotient number which is also rational.

Therefore, the number on the right hand of equal to is rational number but x is a irrational number .A rational number is not equal to an irrational number .Therefore, it is contradict by taking a+bx is a rational number .Hence, a+bx is an irrational number.

Conclusion: a+bx is an irrational number.

What is the common ratio of the geometric sequence; *
Tanya [424]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r of a geometric sequence is

r = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } = \frac{\frac{10}{3} }{10} = \frac{10}{3} × \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{3} → C

A sequence of numbers a1, a2, a3, . . . is defined as follows: a1 = 3, a2 = 5, and every term in the sequence after a2 is the pr
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  (D)  t^4

Step-by-step explanation:

You have defined ...

  a3 = a2·a1

  a4 = a3·(a2·a1) = a3²

  a5 = a4·(a3·a2·a1) = a4² = (a3²)² = a3⁴

Then if a3 = t, a5 = t⁴

Pleaseeee helpppp answer correctly !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will mark Brianliest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fed [463]

Answer:

z=44

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to go about this with the given angles is to use the alternate interior angles theorem to find the full measure of ∠C and ∠A. Then, use the same theorem to set ∠BDA as 52°. Subtract all the angle measures from 360 (because the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is = 360 degrees). Then divide the result by 2.

360-84-84-52-52=88

=88/2

=44

So z=44°
