The sum of rational number and an irrational number

Mathematics
1 answer:
Angelina_Jolie [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational." By definition, an irrational number in decimal form goes on forever without repeating (a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal). By definition, a rational number in decimal form either terminates or repeats.

Step-by-step explanation:

However, if the irrational parts of the numbers have a zero sum (cancel each other out), the sum will be rational. "The product of two irrational numbers is SOMETIMES irrational." Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.

Evaluate the expression(-3.8)+0+y for the given values of y.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

y = -3.3 then  -7.1

y = -7.1 then  -10.9

y = -2.6 then -6.4

y = 1 then -2.8

y = 4.2 then 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3.8)+0+y can be simplified to -3.8 + y. Evaluate each value for y by substituting it into the expression and solving.

y = -3.3 then -3.8 + -3.3 = -7.1

y = -7.1 then -3.8 + -7.1 = -10.9

y = -2.6 then -3.8 + -2.6 = -6.4

y = 1 then -3.8 + 1 = -2.8

y = 4.2 then -3.8 + 4.2 = 0.4
