rove the following statement directly from the definition of rational number. The difference of any two rational numbers is a ra

tional number. Proof: Suppose r and s are any two rational numbers. By definition of rational, r = a b and s = c d for some ---Select--- a, b, c, and d with ---Select--- . Write r − s in terms of a, b, c, and d as a quotient of two integers whose numerator and denominator are simplified as much as possible. The result is the following. r − s = Both the numerator and the denominator are integers because ---Select--- . In addition, bd ≠ 0 by the ---Select--- . Hence r − s is a ---Select--- of two integers with a nonzero denominator, and so by definition of rational, r − s is rational.

A farmer has a 100 ft by 200 ft rectangular field that he wants to increase by 15.5% by cultivating a strip of uniform width aro
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) The strip should be 5ft wide

(b) The strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the rectangular field, L= 200 ft

width of the rectangular field, w = 100 ft

Area of the rectangular field, A = 200ft x 100ft = 20000 ft^2

let the width of the strip = x

The strip around the outside field = 2x

If the field is increased by 15.5%

New area of the field = 1.155 x 20000 = 23,100 ft^2

The increase in area of the field = 3,100 ft

3,100 = New area of field - old area of the field

3100 = (200 + 2x)(100 + 2x) - 20000

3100 = 20000 + 400x 200x + 4x^2 - 20000

3100 = 600x + 4x^2

Divide through by 4

775 = 150x + x^2

x^2 + 150x - 775 = 0

Factorize

(x + 155)(x-5) = 0

x = 5 ft

The strip should be 5ft wide.

The strip around the outside field = 2 x 5 ft = 10 ft

Thus, the strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.
