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.

wel
I assume you mean a^5 divided by a^4. This is a rule that applies to all exponents in that when you divide exponents, you subtract the top from the bottom. So, 5-4 is 1 and that would the answer is b

Explain please hurry ASAP
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that 72 and (2x + 10) add up to 90

90-72 = 18

(2x + 10) = 18

2x = 8

x = 4

Use distribute property and simplify<br> Help me please​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

104

155

180

Step-by-step explanation:

an easy way is to solve what is in the parenthesis then multiply by the outside number

but if you need to use the distributive property:

1. 4 x (20 - -6)

(4 x 20) - (4 x -6) = 80 - -24 = 80 + 24 = 104

2. -5 x (24 - -7)

(-5 x 24) - (-5 x -7) = -120 - 35 = 155

3. 12 x (-30 + 45)

(12 x -30) + (12 x 45) = -360 + 540 = 180
