Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where

7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]

3√2= a/b-7

3√2 =( a-7b) /b

√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)

Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.

Answer:

Prove by contradiction.

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume it is rational, then:

Let x = 7 + 3√2 = p/q      where p and q are integers and p/q is in simplest form.

x^2 = 49 + 42√2  + 18 = p^2/q^2

67q^2 = p^2  - 42√2q^2

67q^2 - p^2 = -42√2 q^2

67q^2 - p^2 is rational and q^2 is rational so that makes -42√2  rational.

but we know that -42√2  is irrational, so our original assumption is not true.

Convert 0.83 into a fraction.​
Anastasy [175]

0.83 * 100 = 83, so 0.83 = 83/100.

But in case you meant the slightly more interesting repeating decimal, 0.8333...:

Let <em>x</em> denote this number. Then

10<em>x</em> = 8.333...

100<em>x</em> = 83.333...

==>  100<em>x</em> - 10<em>x</em> = 83.333... - 8.333...

==>  90<em>x</em> = 83 - 8 = 75

==>  <em>x</em> = 75/90 = 5/6

Find the exact value of the trigonometric expression given cos (22.5 ).
Digiron [165]
Use the identity   cos^2 (a/2) =  1/2 (1 + cos a) so

cos^ 2 22.5  = cos^2 (45/2)  = 1/2 ( 1 + cos 45)  =  1/2(1 + sqrt2/ 2)4 = 1/2 + sqrt2/4

cos 22.5  =  sqrt ( 1/2 + sqrt2/4)  Answer

Find the nonpermissible replacement for a in this expression 6/-5a
Mademuasel [1]
Find the nonpermissible replacement for a in this expression 6/-5a

Denominator cannot be zero or else undefined so set the denominator to zero and solve for the a that will cause the denominator to be zero.
-5a=0
-5/-5x=0/-5
x=0

Nonpermissable replacement is 0.
