Answer:

30% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for percent change is:

$\frac{original-new}{original}*100$

In this case, the original amount was 50 pounds and the new amount is 35 pounds. Since the amount is decreasing, the percent change is a decrease and we can set up the following equation:

$\frac{50-35}{50}*100=30percent$

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches. What is the difference between the two possible lengths

scZoUnD [109]

If 5 in and 8 in are legs:
hypotenuse = √(5²+8²) = √89 ≈ 9.4 in.

If 5 in is the leg and 8 in is the hypotenuse:
other leg = √(8²-5²) = √39 ≈ 6.2 in.

<span>The difference between the two possible lengths of the third side =
9.4 - 6.2 = 3.2 in.</span>

Prove that if x is irrational, then 1/x is irrational

ozzi

Proof by contradiction.

Let assume that when $x$ is an irrational number, then $\dfrac{1}{x}$ is a rational number.

If $\dfrac{1}{x}$ is a rational number, then it can be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ .

$\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{a}{b} \Rightarrow x=\dfrac{b}{a}$

Since $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ , the number $x=\dfrac{b}{a}$ is also a rational number. But this contardicts our initial assumption that $x$ is an irrational number. Therefore $\dfrac{1}{x}$ must be an irrational number.

Plz help with this problem!thx

shutvik [7]

Using the formula y=mx + b, first find the y-intercept which is (0,1) showing that your "b" is 1 then find the slope of your graph , because you only have to go up one and to right one to get to the next plotted point, the slope is 1/1 which equals to 1, so y=x+1
