Yes, in the sense that the new area could be written as (x+1)^2  /   1.
Usually we would not bother with the "1" as divisor.

Let's actually do the work:  what is the area of the square if we increase the side length of the existing square by 1 ft?

(x+1)^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1        (This is not a fraction, and thus not the ratio of
                                            two integers, which, in turn, is the definition of
                                            "rational number."

Answer:

The area is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A ballroom has a square dance floor. The area of the floor is 400 square feet.

Area of square = (side)²

Substitute the respective value in above formula.

400 = (side)²

√400 = side

20 feet = side

Ignore the negative value as side cannot be a negative number.

Now it is given that the length of each side of the square increased by one foot,

Thus, the new side is 20 + 1 = 21 feet

Now find the area of new square = (side)²

A = 21²

A = 21×21

A = 441 square feet

The number 441 is a rational number.

Hence, the area is a rational number.

where does the graph of the function y=tan(x) have asymptotes? at the values of x where cos(x)=0 at the values of x where sin(x)
Gnom [1K]
Answer: at the values where cos(x) = 0

Justification:

1) tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x).

2) functions have vertical asymptotes at x = a if Limit of the function x approaches a is + or - infinity.

3) the limit of tan(x) approaches +/- infinity where cos(x) approaches 0.

Therefore, the grpah of y = tan(x) has asymptotes where cos(x) = 0.

You can see the asympotes at x = +/- π/2 on the attached graph. Remember that cos(x) approaches 0 when x approaches +/- (n+1) π/2, for any n ∈ N, so there are infinite asymptotes.
