I desperately need this question answered. See attached image thanks so much
1 answer:
For this case we must follow the steps below:
step 1:
We place each of the given points on a coordinate axis
Step 2:
We join the AC points (represented by the orange line)
We join the BD points (represented by the blue line)
It is observed that the resulting figure after placing the 4 points on a coordinate axis, turns out to be a rhombus.
In addition, the blue and orange lines turn out to be perpendicular, that is, they have an angle of 90 degrees between them. This can be verified by finding the slopes of each of the two straight lines (blue and orange), which must be opposite reciprocal, that is, they comply:
In this case, the slope of the orange line is and that of the blue line is
Then , it is verified that they are perpendicular.
Thus, the conclusion is that ABCD is a rhombus and AC is perpendicular to BD.

An irrational number is a number that a) can't be written as a fraction of two whole numbers AND b) is an infinite decimal without any sort of pattern.
For the first answer choice, clearly
does not pass the first criterion so we look at the second choice.
Let's come back to
and 
.
doesn't meet our first criterion, and let's skip 
for now.
It is often easier to disprove an irrational number than to prove one. There are a few famous irrationals to know (although there is an infinite number of irrationals). The most common are
. For now, it's just helpful to know these and recognize them.
So we can check off
and .
2)
For this next question, we know that
. Clearly this isn't irrational. Likewise, 
isn't irrational. 
, which is rational, leaving only 
. By process of elimination, this is the correct answer. Indeed, 
is an irrational number.
3) This notation means that we have 0.3636363636... and so on, to an infinite number of digits. It is called a repeating decimal.
But it can be written as a fraction because its pattern repeats, unlike for an irrational number.
Let's say
. Would you agree that 
? (We choose to multiply by 100 because there are two decimals that repeat. For 1, choose 10, for 3 choose 1,000, and so on.)
Now, let's subtract x from 100x and solve.
Voila!
