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

At what point on the paraboloid y = x2 + z2 is the tangent plane parallel to the plane 3x + 2y + 7z = 2? (if an answer does not
Nikitich [7]
If f(x, y, z) = c represent a family of surfaces for different values of the constant c. The gradient of the function f defined as \nabla f is a vector normal to the surface f(x, y, z) = c.

Given <span>the paraboloid

y = x^2 + z^2.

We can rewrite it as a scalar value function f as follows:

f(x,y,z)=x^2-y+z^2=0

The normal to the </span><span>paraboloid at any point is given by:

\nabla f= i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(x^2-y+z^2) - j\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(x^2-y+z^2) + k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}(x^2-y+z^2) \\  \\ =2xi-j+2zk

Also, the normal to the given plane 3x + 2y + 7z = 2 is given by:

3i+2j+7k

Equating the two normal vectors, we have:
</span>
2x=3\Rightarrow x= \frac{3}{2}  \\  \\ -1=2 \\ \\ 2z=7\Rightarrow z= \frac{7}{2}

Since, -1 = 2 is not possible, therefore there exist no such point <span>on the paraboloid y = x^2 + z^2 such that the tangent plane is parallel to the plane 3x + 2y + 7z = 2</span>.

finlep [7]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sum of any 2 sides are less than or equal to the third side then there's no triangle

1. N0 because 4 + 5 < 10

2. YES

3. NO because 2 + 3 = 5.
