X and y are positive integers. explain why incorrect to claim that

Mathematics

dedylja [7]3 years ago

You can find counterexamples to disprove this claim. We have positive integers that are perfect square numbers; when we take the square root of those numbers, we get an integer.

For example, the square root of 1 is 1, which is an integer. So if y = 1, then the denominator becomes an integer and thus we get a quotient of two integers (since x is also defined to be an integer), the definition of a rational number.

Example: x = 2, y = 1 ends up with \frac{2}{\sqrt{1}} = \frac{2}{1} which is rational. This goes against the claim that x/\sqrt{y} is always irrational for positive integers x and y.

Any integer y that is a perfect square will work to disprove this claim, e.g. y = 1, y = 4, y= 9, y = 16. So it is not always irrational.

Which function has zeroes at npi/2, where n is an odd integer. Select two of the following that apply.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

y=cosx

y=cotx

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric function;

y=\cos(x) has zeroes at \frac{n\pi}{2} where n is an odd integer.

The trigonometric function; y=cot x=\frac{cosx}{sinx}. This also has zeroes at \frac{n\pi}{2} where n is an odd integer.

20 points!! Solve this system of lineal equations.separate the x- and y- values with a comma
Zielflug [23.3K]
Solve the following system:{12 x = 54 - 6 y | (equation 1)-17 x = -6 y - 62 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:{12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 1)-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 2)
Add 12/17 × (equation 1) to equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+(174 y)/17 = 174/17 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 17/174:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:{-(17 x)+0 y = -68 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -17:{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:Answer:  {x = 4 {y = 1


Please note the { are supposed to span over both equations but it interfaces doesn't  allow it. Please see attachment for clarification.
