it just so happen that √2 is an irrational number, so any product with it as a factor, will yield an irrational number as well.
factoid: Ancient Greeks were scared of irrational numbers, and they steered clear from √2.

Answer:
4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola with its vertex at the origin can be written as ...
y = 1/(4p)x^2
The problem statement tells us that one point on the parabola is (x, y) = (12, 9). We can put these values into the equation and solve for p, the distance from the focus to the vertex.
9 = 1/(4p)(12^2)
9×4/144 = 1/p = 1/4 . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of 1/p
Then p = 4, and the bulb is 4 cm from the vertex.
The other number is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we develop formulae for the given information. A number is added with 3 and the resulting sum is multiplied by 4. This number is then divided by 2 and the quotient is 0. Assume the unknown number is x, then the given information is as follows
The quotient of is 0. So
= 0.
Step 2; Now we solve the above equation. The denominator is taken to the RHS and the RHS remains zero.
= 0, 4(x+3)= 0, 4x+ 12 = 0, 4x = -12, x =
= -3.
So the other number is -3.
