In the figure below, F is between E and G, and G is between F and H. IF EH=9, FH = 7, and EG=6, find FG.

Sum/difference:
Let
This means that
Now, assume that is rational. The sum/difference of two rational numbers is still rational (so 5-x is rational), and the division by 3 doesn't change this. So, you have that the square root of 8 equals a rational number, which is false. The mistake must have been supposing that
was rational, which proves that the sum/difference of the two given terms was irrational
Multiplication/division:
The logic is actually the same: if we multiply the two terms we get
if again we assume x to be rational, we have
But if x is rational, so is -x/15, and again we come to a contradiction: we have the square root of 8 on one side, which is irrational, and -x/15 on the other, which is rational. So, again, x must have been irrational. You can prove the same claim for the division in a totally similar fashion.
<u>Answer:</u>
The probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected if the first selection is replaced before the second is made is 0.7744
<u>Solution:</u>
Total number of coils = number of good coils + defective coils = 88 + 12 = 100
p(getting two good coils for two selection) = p( getting 2 good coils for first selection ) p(getting 2 good coils for second selection)
p(first selection) = p(second selection) =
Hence, p(getting 2 good coil for two selection) =
