Answer:

a. true b. true

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>(a) If r and s are rational numbers, then (r+s)/2 is rational. </em>

true

rational numbers can be expresed as fractions

let be r=a/b and s=c/d being a,b,c,d  integer numbers

\frac{r+s}{2} =\frac{\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d} }{2} =\frac{\frac{da+bc}{bd} }{2} =\frac{da+bc}{2bd}

d.a=e is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

b.c=f is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

e+f=g  is an integer number because it's the sum of two integers

b.d=h is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

2.h=i is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

g/i=j is an integer number because it's the quotient of two integers

then

\frac{r+s}{2} =\frac{\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d} }{2} =\frac{\frac{da+bc}{bd} }{2} =\frac{da+bc}{2bd}=\frac{e+f}{2h} =\frac{g}{i} =j

<em>(b) For all real numbers a and b, if a < b then a < (a+b)/2 < b</em>

true

a < (a+b)/2 < b

2a < (a+b) < 2b

lets analyze 2a < (a+b)

2a < (a+b) \\2a-a < (a+b)-a\\a < b

then 2a < (a+b) is true

lets analyze (a+b) < 2b

(a+b) < 2b\\(a+b)-b < 2b-b\\a< b

then (a+b) < 2b is true

Hard I need help plz someone help!
Leona [35]

Answer:

  8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Each rectangular face of the monument has an area of ...

  A = bh = (9 ft)(39 ft) = 351 ft^2

The triangular face on top of that rectangle has an area of ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(9 ft)(10 ft) = 45 ft^2

So, one side of the monument has an area of ...

  one side = (351 ft^2) +(45 ft^2) = 396 ft^2

The total area of all four identical sides is ...

  surface area = (4)(396 ft^2) = 1584 ft^2

__

Each gallon covers 199 ft^2, to the number gallons required is ...

  (1584 ft^2)/(199 ft^2/gal) ≈ 7.96 gal

Since only whole gallons can be purchased, 8 gallons of paint must be bought.

What is the slope of the line graphed on the coordinate plane?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope formula, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) , or rise over run.

this would give you 2-(-1) divided by 6-(-6)

giving you 3/12, reducing to 1/4

Another one omg this is annoying
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Correct option: first one

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation f(x) = 5x + 1 is a function, because each value of x gives only one  value of y.

Now let's find the inverse by switching f(x) by x and x by f'(x), then isolating f'(x):

x = 5f'(x) + 1

5f'(x) = x - 1

f'(x) = \frac{x - 1}{5}

The inverse f'(x) is also a function, because each value of x gives only one value of x.

So we have that both the equation and its inverse are function, therefore the correct answer is the first option.
