Use the results of exercises 18 and 19 to prove that given any two rational numbers r and s with r , s, there is another rationa

l number between r and s. An important consequence is that there are infinitely many rational numbers in between any two distinct rational numbers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r and s be two rational numbers

Without loss of generality assume that r<s, because one number has to be necessarily less than the other otherwise two would be equal.

Then find mid value of r and s as

\frac{r+s}{2} =t

So we have atleast one rational number between r and s. Note that t is rational because it is sum of two rational numbers r/2 and s/2

Now using r and t we find one rational number say u between r and t.  

Again with r and u we find another rational number between them

This process can be repeated infinitely

Thus we conclude there are infinitely many rational numbers in between any two distinct rational numbers.

13. Find the equations of the straight lines which passes
ipn [44]

Answer:

  • y = 1/2x +2
  • y = -2x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The given line has a slope of -1/3, so the lines we want will have slopes of ...

  m1 = tan(arctan(-1/3) +45°) = 0.5 . . . . . using a calculator

  m2 = tan(arctan(-1/3) -45°) = -2

Of course, these two lines are perpendicular to each other, so their slopes will have a product of -1: (0.5)(-2) = -1.

__

We can use the point-slope form of the equation for a line to write the desired equations:

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

<u>Line 1</u>:

  y = 1/2(x -2) +3

  y = 1/2x +2

<u>Line 2</u>:

  y = -2(x -2) +3

  y = -2x +7

1. Given the following relation, determine the inverse relation.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

1. a

2. f^{-1} (x)=\frac{x}{2} +2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since there is one value of y for every value of x in (−1,0),(−4,5),(3,2),(−3,5), this relation is a function.

2. To find the inverse, interchange the variables and solve for y.

f^{-1} (x)=\frac{x}{2} +2
