Sum/difference:
Let
This means that
Now, assume that is rational. The sum/difference of two rational numbers is still rational (so 5-x is rational), and the division by 3 doesn't change this. So, you have that the square root of 8 equals a rational number, which is false. The mistake must have been supposing that was rational, which proves that the sum/difference of the two given terms was irrational
Multiplication/division:
The logic is actually the same: if we multiply the two terms we get
if again we assume x to be rational, we have
But if x is rational, so is -x/15, and again we come to a contradiction: we have the square root of 8 on one side, which is irrational, and -x/15 on the other, which is rational. So, again, x must have been irrational. You can prove the same claim for the division in a totally similar fashion.
Give me brainliest becuase 2+2=4 isn’t that enough help?
Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
I think Also 9 is wrong
Answer:$9.16
Step-by-step explanation:
What I did was 20% of $45.80! If you have a tip or a percent problem you can think of it as that percent of the certain number. In math "of" means mupltiply.
Punch in your calculator .2 which is 20% times 45.8 and you get your answer $9.16.
