The sum of rational number and an irrational number

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.

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line.

vova2212 [387]

<h3>The x intercept is at (-7, 0).</h3><h3>The y intercept is at (0, 1).</h3>

To find both the x and the y intercept, we need to solve one at a time.

For the x intercept, we need to make the value of y equal to 0, and solve for x.

-x + 7y = 7

-x + 7(0) = 7

-x = 7

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -7

The x intercept is -7.

Now for the y intercept.

-(0) + 7y = 7

7y = 7

Divide both sides by 1.

y = 1

The y intercept is at 0, 1.

A survey of an urban university (population of 25,450) showed that 870 of 1,100 students sampled supported a fee increase to fun

Katen [24]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of students supporting the fee increase is [0.767, 0.815]. Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for a proportion is given as [p +/- margin of error (E)]

p is sample proportion = 870/1,100 = 0.791

n is sample size = 1,100

confidence level (C) = 95% = 0.95

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = 5%

critical value (z) at 5% significance level is 1.96.

E = z × sqrt[p(1-p) ÷ n] = 1.96 × sqrt[0.791(1-0.791) ÷ 1,100] = 1.96 × 0.0123 = 0.024

Lower limit of proportion = p - E = 0.791 - 0.024 = 0.767

Upper limit of proportion = p + E = 0.791 + 0.024 = 0.815

95% confidence interval for the proportion of students supporting the fee increase is between a lower limit of 0.767 and an upper limit of 0.815.
