The true statement "If x is a rational number and y is a rational number, then the sum of x and y is a rational number" is often

confused with the converse "If the sum of x and y is a rational number, then x is a rational number and y is a rational number." In this case, the converse is not always true. Which statement is false? A) If the sum of x and y is a rational number, then x must be a rational number. B) If x = 3.5 and y is a whole number, then the sum of x and y must be a rational number. Eliminate C) If x is an even integer and y is an odd integer, then the sum of x and y must be a rational number.

Answer:

D. if the sum of x and y is a rational number , then x may be a rational number or x may be an irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

the statement is false because the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always equals to irrational number.

therefore, if the sum of x and y is a rational number , then x can only be a rational number.

for example:

if x = 5 ==== rational

if y = 2 ==== rational

x+y = 7 ==== rational

but, if

x = 1.333333......... ======irrational

y =  5                   =======rational

x+y = 6.3333333.... = irrational

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

1 - If method I is used, population of generalization will include all those people who may have varying exercising habits or routines.  They may or may not have a regular excersing habit.  In his case sample is taken from a more diverse population

2 - Population of generalization will include people who will have similar excersing routines and habits if method II is used since sample is choosen from a specific population

Step-by-step explanation:

Past excercising habits may affect the change in intensity to a targeted excersise in different manner. So in method I a greater diversity is included and result of excersing with or without a trainer will account for greater number of variables than method II.

What does the number line above represent?
sattari [20]
It is the last one. A closed circle means less than or equal to, so that crosses out the top two. The third says five is greater and we know that is not true because the line is decreasing in value. It must be the fourth.
