Daniel says that when the irrational number 7√3 is multiplied by any rational number, the product is always an irrational number

. What value for the rational number disproves Daniel's claim?

Answer: 0

============================================

Explanation:

When we multiply 0 by any number, we get 0 as a result

x*0 = 0

0*x = 0

for any number x.

The number 0 is rational since we can write it as a fraction of two integers

0 = 0/1

If Daniel were to correct his statement to say "multiply by any <u>nonzero</u> rational number", then his statement would be correct that the result is irrational.

----------------------------------------------

Extra info:

Here's a proof showing why Daniel's claim is correct if we consider nonzero rational numbers

Let p be a nonzero rational number, so p = a/b for integers a,b where neither a or b are zero

Let q be an irrational number. We cannot write q as a ratio of two integers

The claim is that p*q is irrational. For now let's assume the opposite. So assume p*q is rational. This means p*q = r/s for integers r,s

This would be the same as (a/b)*q = r/s which solves to q = (r/s)*(b/a) = (rb)/(sa) making q rational, but that contradicts the fact we made q irrational earlier.

Therefore, the assumption p*q is rational cannot be the case, and p*q must be irrational.

Find the MEAN 8, 2, 22,5, 3, 12, 4*
Triss [41]

Answer:

The mean is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of a set of numbers divided by the number of numbers in a set. In this case, you add up all the numbers to get 56, and divide by 7 to get 8.

Find the volume of each sphere 40mm
Anastasy [175]

The formula for finding the volume of a sphere is V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

If 40mm is the radius of the sphere, the volume will be about 2.68\times10^5mm.
