Answer:
a₄=8n+1= -39.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) if a₁=3n; a₃=5n-6 and a₅=11n+8, then it is possible to calculate the difference according to 0.5(a₅-a₃)=0.5(a₃-a₁). Then
2) 0.5(11n+8-5n+6)=0.5(5n-6-3n); ⇔ 6n+14=2n-6; ⇔ n= -5.
3) if n=-5, then the 4th term is:
or a₄=-39.
Answer:
The diagonal is irrational because it is a product of a rational and an irrational number
Step-by-step explanation:
The options are not given. However, the question is still answerable.
Given
Shape: Square
Length: Rational
Since the side length is said to be rational, I'll answer the question based on whether the diagonal is rational or not.
Having said that:
The diagonal (d) of a square with side length (l) is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.
Take positive square root of both sides
Split:
Recall that the side length (l) is rational.
However, is irrational.
So, the product of l and will be irrational
Hence:
The diagonal is irrational
