Answer :

Let's assume the opposite of the statement i.e., 3 + √5 is a rational number.

\\  \sf \: 3 +  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{a}{b}   \\  \\   \qquad \: \tiny \sf{(where \:  \: a \:  \: and \:  \: b \:  \: are \:  \: integers \:  \: and \:  \: b \:  \neq \: 0)} \\

\\  \sf \:  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{a}{b}  - 3 =  \frac{a - 3b}{b}  \\

Since, a, b and 3 are integers. So,

\\ \sf \:  \frac{p - 3b}{b}  \\  \\  \qquad \tiny \sf{ \: (is \:  \: a \:  \: rational \:  \: number \:) } \\

Here, it contradicts that √5 is an irrational number.

because of the wrong assumption that 3 + √5 is a rational number.

\\

Hence, 3 + √5 is an irrational number.

This one is very hard thank you

check the picture below.


if we run a vertical line test on that graph, like you see there, namely run vertical lines through it, we can see that one vertical line only hits the graph once, not twice or more.


on the vertical line test, if the graph is hit only once by each of the vertical lines, then the graph is a function.

How do I factor this
melamori03 [73]
There is a factor of 10p in each term that is common, and thus, you can take them out of each term to yield 10p(p² - 196).
Now, 196 is a perfect square. That is, there is a real number that when multiplied by itself gives 196 (14).
Since p² - 14² is a difference of two squares, we can rewrite it as (p + 14)(p - 14).

So, our factored form is 10p(p + 14)(p - 14)

A polygon is broken up into 4 non-overlapping triangles by drawing lines from one vertex to all other non-adjacent vertices. Wha
aliina [53]

Answer :

The Correct Option is B) Hexagon

Step-by-step explanation :

Let number of sides in a polygon be n

The triangles are created by drawing the diagonals from one vertex to all the others.

Since there is no overlapping of the triangles so no diagonal will be drawn back to itself, and the diagonals to each adjacent vertex would lie on top of the adjacent sides, therefore number of diagonals from a single vertex is three less the the number of sides, or n - 3 and the number of triangles is one more than that, so n - 2.

⇒ Number of triangles = number of sides in polygon - 2

⇒ Number of triangles = n - 2

⇒ n = 4 + 2

⇒ n = 6

And the polygon containing 6 sides is called Hexagon

Hence, the correct Option is B) Hexagon
