Michael reads 12 pages of a book in 18 minutes, 8 pages in 12 minutes,and 20 pages in 30 minutes. Is this a proportional relatio

maria [59]

Answer:

y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading rate is y pages per x minutes and proportional relationship formula is:

y = kx

The coefficient is:

k = y/x

Let's verify if the given numbers fit into the same relationship:

12/18 = 2/3
8/12 = 2/3
20/30 = 2/3

We confirm all same and it means k = 2/3

Required equation is:

y = 2/3x

This represents that Michael reads 2 pages per 3 minutes and for x minutes he reads 2/3x pages

Question number 8. Prove that 3 + √5 is an irrational number.

Marina86 [1]

Answer :

Let's assume the opposite of the statement i.e., 3 + √5 is a rational number.

$\\ \sf \: 3 + \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b} \\ \\ \qquad \: \tiny \sf{(where \: \: a \: \: and \: \: b \: \: are \: \: integers \: \: and \: \: b \: \neq \: 0)} \\$

$\\ \sf \: \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b} - 3 = \frac{a - 3b}{b} \\$

Since, a, b and 3 are integers. So,

$\\ \sf \: \frac{p - 3b}{b} \\ \\ \qquad \tiny \sf{ \: (is \: \: a \: \: rational \: \: number \:) } \\$

Here, it contradicts that √5 is an irrational number.

because of the wrong assumption that 3 + √5 is a rational number.

$\\$

Hence, 3 + √5 is an irrational number.
