Prove that if one solution for a quadratic equation of the form x 2 + bx + c = 0 is rational (where b and c are rational), then

the other solution is also rational. (use the fact that if the solutions of the equation are r and s, then x 2 + bx + c = (x − r)(x − s).)

x^2+bx+c = (x-r)(x-s)\\
x^2+bx+c = x^2-(r+s)x+rs\\\\
b = -(r+s)\\ c = rs

Say r is rational. Suppose for a second, that s is not. Then, r+s is irrational. But this contradicts the fact that b is rational.

So, if one root is rational, then the other root is also rational

The Third Side Is Called The base if an isosceles triangle has perimeter 345 cm and base length 85 cm what is the length of each
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Length of each leg = 130 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is an isosceles triangle which has perimeter 345 cm.

Base length =85 cm.

Since other two sides are equal, let the equal size = x

Perimeter = sum of all 3 sides of a triangle

= 85+x+x = 85+2x

But perimeter = 345 (given)

So equate x term perimeter with actual

85+2x = 345

Subtract 85

2x = 260

Divide by 2

x =130 cm.

Hence answer is 130 cm.
