A rational number subtracted by a rational number equals?​

You still get a rational number.

The sum/subtraction between rational numbers is defined as follows:

\dfrac{a}{b}\pm\dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{ad\pm bc}{bd}

The expression ad\pm bc is the sum/difference between the products of integers, and so is still an integer. This means that

\dfrac{ad\pm bc}{bd}

is still a ratio between integers, and thus a rational.

X^3+x²-36 Find all real zeros.
Harman [31]

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros, you want to first factor the expression.

x³+x²-36

(x-3)(x²+4x+12)

Now that we have found the factors, we set each to 0.

x-3=0

x=3

Since x²+4x+12 cannot be factored, we can forget about this part.

Therefore, the zeros are x=3. You can check this by plugging the expression into a graphing calculator to see the zeros.

12.) First find the rate of miles/hour that the Morales family drove: 312 miles/6 hours = 52 miles/hour. To find how far they travel in 8 hours, multiply that rate by 8. 52 x 8 = 416. If they drive for 8 hours, they will travel 416 miles.

Brian has 40000 to invest in a mix of corporate and municipal bonds. The corporate bond pays 10% simple annual interest and the
jonny [76]

Answer:

Sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sum = 40,000

The rate of interest for corporate bonds = 10 % = 0.1

The rate of interest for municipal bonds = 6 % = 0.06

Total interest = 3600

Let sum of money invested in corporate bonds = x

The sum of money invested in municipal bonds = 40000 - x

x × 0.1 × 1 + (40000 - x) × 0.06 × 1 = 3600

(0.1- 0.06)x + 2400 = 3600

0.04 x = 1200

x = 30,000

Since x =  sum of money invested in corporate bonds

So  sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30000

Given that (1, 0, 1) is a solution to a system of three linear equations, which of the following is true about the system?
Anna35 [415]
<h3>Answer:  Choice C) </h3><h3>The system can only be independent and consistent</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

  • A) This isn't possible. Either a system is consistent or inconsistent. It cannot be both at the same time. The term "inconsistent" literally means "not consistent". It's like saying a cup is empty and full at the same time. We can rule out choice A.
  • B) This is similar to choice A and we cannot have a system be both independent and dependent. Either a system is independent or dependent, but not both. Independence means that the two equations are not tied together, while dependent equations are some multiple of each other. We can rule out choice B.
  • C) We'll get back to this later
  • D) The independence/dependence status is unknown without the actual equations present. However, we know 100% that this system is not inconsistent. This is because the system has at least one solution. Inconsistent systems do not have any solutions at all (eg: parallel lines that never cross). We can rule out choice D because of this.

Going back to choice C, again we don't have enough info to determine if the system is independent or dependent, but we at least know it's consistent. Consistent systems have one or more solutions. So part of choice C can be confirmed. It being the only thing left means that it has to be the final answer.

If it were me as the teacher, I'd cross out the "independent" part of choice C and simply say the system is consistent.
