Answer:

5 + (-3/2√2) = irrational number

5 - (-3/2√2) = irrational number since we have  √2

Step by step explanation

Here the given two numbers are 5 and -3/√8.

Here we can rewrite √8 = √2√4

Which is 2√2.

So √8 = 2√2, where √2 is an irrational number.

-3/√8 = -3 / 2√2 = =3/ 2√2 is an irrational number.

When you add, subtract, multiply and divide a whole number (5) with an irrational number (-3/2√2) is always an irrational number.

Therefore, when you do the operations with 5 and -2/2√2 always result in irrational number.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

Part a which projectile spends more time in the air, the one fired from 30∘ or the one fired from 60∘? which projectile spends m
bearhunter [10]
The correct answer is the One fired from from 60° . This is because the projectile fired from 60° has a greater vertical velocity compared to the one fired from 30° and therefore spends more time on air. Vertical velocity is the velocity of a body as it moves upwards, it is normally affected by the gravitational acceleration, however it is not affected by the horizontal velocity.

s2008m [1.1K]

In a triangle, the nomenclature is that a variable side a is opposite of the angle A. we can use the cosine law to determine the value of cosine A. 
a2 = b2 + c2 -2bc cos a25 = 36 + 64 - 2*6*8 * cos acos a = 25/32

Help me out please.<br><br> i need to find the function rule,
Ksivusya [100]

Replace x in the equations and see which one gets the matching y :

-5(0) = 0 +1 = 1

-5(1) = -5 + 1 = -4

-5(-1) = 5 +6 = 6

The first equation works.
