oksian1 [2.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Assume that \log _{3}2 = \frac{p}{q}  ≥ 0    then p and q are positive integers
  2. So, it must comply with  3^{p} = 2^{q}
  3. If p and q are positive (≥ 0), then  LHS is odd and RHS is even which is a clear contradiction.
  4. This shows that \log_{2}3 is irrational.
  5. Hence proved

If f(x)= 3x+1 and g(x)= x^2-6 FIND (f+g)(x)
Lelu [443]

Answer:

-x² + 3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

• f(x) = 3x + 1

• g(x) = x² - 6

Then,

According to th' question :-

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

= 3x + 1 - (x² - 6)

= 3x + 1 - x² + 6

= -x² + 3x + 7

Nine cars (3 Pontiacs [labeled 1-3], 4 Fords [labeled 4-7], and 2 Chevrolet's [labeled 8-9]) are divided into 3 groups for car r
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The number of different ways to arrange the 9 cars is 362,880.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 9 cars.

These 9 cars are to divided among 3 racing groups.

The condition applied is that there should be 3 cars in each group.

Use permutation to determine the total number of arrangements of the cars.

  • For group 1:

       There are 9 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 1.

       This can happen in ^9P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^9P_{3}=\frac{9!}{(9-3)!} =504 ways.

  • For group 2:

       There are remaining 6 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 2.

       This can happen in ^6P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^6P_{3}=\frac{6!}{(6-3)!} =120 ways.

  • For group 3:

       There are remaining 3 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 3.

       This can happen in ^3P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^3P_{3}=\frac{3!}{(3-3)!} =6 ways.

The total number of ways to arrange the 9 cars is: ^9P_{3}\times ^6P_{3}\times ^3P_{3}=504\times120\times6=362880

Thus, the number of different ways to arrange the 9 cars is 362,880.
