Answer:

The square root of five is 2.2360679775...

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of five is irrational because it never ends (example: 3.1415... )

Answer:  1. This irrationality proof for the square root of 5 uses Fermat's method of infinite descent: Suppose that √5 is rational, and express it in lowest possible terms (i.e., as a fully reduced fraction) as mn for natural numbers m and n. Then √5 can be expressed in lower terms as 5n − 2mm − 2n, which is a contradiction.

The radius is 10, so the diameter is 20. This means the parts of the diameter (the chord through the center P) to the left and right of the vertical chord have lengths 16 and 4, respectively.

Because the horizontal chord is a diameter, the vertical chord is cut in half, so its parts above and below the diameter both have length <em>x</em>.

Now, by the intersecting chord theorem,

16×4 = <em>x</em> × <em>x</em>

or

<em>x</em> ² = 64

so that

<em>x</em> = 8

What is the additive inverse of -2 + 8i?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

2 - 8i

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of something is basically the opposite of it. Another way to say this is that when you add the additive inverse to -2 + 8i, it will equal 0.

<u>An example:</u>

The additive inverse of 7 is -7 because not only is it the opposite, but also when you add 7 and -7, it equals 0.

<u>To solve</u>

So all you need to do is find the opposite of -2 + 8i. You can write it as:

-(-2 + 8i)  With the negative in the front because we want to find the opposite.

This then equals:

2 - 8i

You can check your answer by adding -2 + 8i and 2 - 8i to see if it equals 0:

(-2 + 8i) + (2 - 8i)  →  and it does equal 0

<u>ANSWER:</u> 2 - 8i

Hope you understand and that this helps with your question! :)
