Sum/difference:
Let
This means that
Now, assume that is rational. The sum/difference of two rational numbers is still rational (so 5-x is rational), and the division by 3 doesn't change this. So, you have that the square root of 8 equals a rational number, which is false. The mistake must have been supposing that was rational, which proves that the sum/difference of the two given terms was irrational
Multiplication/division:
The logic is actually the same: if we multiply the two terms we get
if again we assume x to be rational, we have
But if x is rational, so is -x/15, and again we come to a contradiction: we have the square root of 8 on one side, which is irrational, and -x/15 on the other, which is rational. So, again, x must have been irrational. You can prove the same claim for the division in a totally similar fashion.
The number that expresses 6.72 as a fraction is simplest form is...
6.72= 168/25
First game= 128
Second game= 305
Third game= 490
Add the points per game together.
= 128 + 305 + 490
= 923 points
ANSWER: He scored 923 points during the three games.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
with what know question was there
Answer:
Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead
Step-by-step explanation:
Mariana workings:
-3(2x - 4) = -12
-6x - 12 = -12
Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead
-6x = 0
x=0
Correct workings:
-3(2x - 4) = -12
-6x + 12 = - 12
-6x = -12 - 12
-6x = -24
x = -24/-6
x = 4
