Which statement is not always true?

1 answer:

6 0

A. True. Summing any rational number with an irrational number leads to an irrational result. The proof is a bit lengthy so I'm leaving it out.

B. True. Adding p/q with r/s leads to (ps+qr)/(qs) which is rational. Keep in mind that q and s cannot be zero.

C. False. One counter example is sqrt(3)*sqrt(12) = sqrt(3*12) = sqrt(36) = 6. This shows the product of two irrational numbers, in this case sqrt(3) and sqrt(12), multiplying to get a rational result 6 = 6/1.

D. True. Multiplying p/q and r/s leads to (p*r)/(q*s) which is rational. Keep in mind that q and s cannot be zero.

The final answer is choice C

Rectangle A= L*W
Triangle A= L*W*1/2

A= L*W
A=8*14
A=112

A= L*W*1/2
A= 8*3*1/2
A= 24*1/2
A= 12

A= L*W*1/2
A= 8*6*1/2
A= 48*1/2
A= 24

112+12+24= 148

I find a place that will give me a 20% discount if i spend over $50 . My bill is $75. What is my final bill after the saving

Vesnalui [34]

You multiply 75 by 0.8 because that is the percentage of the price you pay after 20% is taken

final answer is $60
