Explain why the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational

1 answer:

8 0

Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.

(3-4i)(6i+7)-(2-3i)

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

43-7i

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

$\displaystyle \large{(3 - 4i)(6i + 7) - (2 - 3i)}$

First, expand 3-4i in 6i+7. To expand binomial with binomial, first we expand 3 in 6i+7 then expand -4i in 6i+7.

$\displaystyle \large{[(3 \cdot 6i) + (3 \cdot 7) + ( - 4i \cdot 6i) + ( - 4i \cdot 7)]- (2 - 3i)} \\ \displaystyle \large{[18i + 21 - 24 {i}^{2} - 28i]- (2 - 3i)}$

Now combine like terms.

$\displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 21 - 24 {i}^{2} ]- (2 - 3i)}$

Imaginary Unit

$\displaystyle \large{i = \sqrt{ - 1} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ {i}^{2} = - 1 }$

Therefore:-

$\displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 21 - 24 ( - 1) ]- (2 - 3i)} \\ \displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 21 + 24]- (2 - 3i)} \\ \displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 45]- (2 - 3i)}$

Then expand negative sign in 2-3i; remember that negative times negative is positive and negative times positive is negative.

$\displaystyle \large{- 10i+ 45 - (2 - 3i)} \\ \displaystyle \large{- 10i+ 45 - 2 + 3i}$

Combine like terms.

$\displaystyle \large{43 - 7i}$
