Answer:

A) Silvie is incorrect; the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of adding rational and irrational numbers states that the result will always be irrational.

Take for instance the addition of 4.5 and 3.142857

4.5 is a rational number because it can easily be expressed in fractions while 3.142857 is irrational because it can't be expressed as a simple fraction.

The addition of these two numbers gives 7.642857

7.642857 is an irrational number.

Similarly, any sum of two numbers (rational and irrational) will always result in irrational number.

Hence, Silvie is incorrect.

Define the set X = {(x,y)|x > 0,y ≤ √x}.
Kitty [74]

The set X is convex.

In geometry, a subset of an affine space over the real numbers, or more broadly a subset of a Euclidean space, is said to be convex if it contains the entire line segment connecting any two points in the subset. A solid cube is an example of a convex set, whereas anything hollow or with an indent, such as a crescent shape, is not. Alternatively, a convex region is a subset that crosses every line into a single line segment.

b)The set X is convex as any two points on the set X is included in the whole set as x>0. So a line joining any two points on the set X is completely inside the set x.

c)set X is not a closed set as the compliment of the set is not an open set.

d)Set X is not bounded. If a set S contains both upper and lower bounds, it is said to be bounded. A set of real numbers is therefore said to be bounded if it fits inside a defined range. hence set x is not bounded.

Before leaving to visit Mexico, levant traded 270 american dollars and received 3000 mexican pesos. When he returned from mexico
Makovka662 [10]
Levant will receive about 9 american dollars when he exchanges his pesos.

According to this question, 1 american dollar is worth about 11 pesos. In order to find that, you need to divide 3000/270 which gives you around 11. In order to find out how many dollars he will receive for his pesos, you need to divide 100 by 11 which gives you about 9 dollars.
