Given:
Expression is

To prove:
If r is any rational number, then
is rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
Property 1: Every integer is a rational number. It is Theorem 4.3.1.
Property 2: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Theorem 4.3.2.
Property 3: The product of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Exercise 15 in Section 4.3.
Let r be any rational number.
We have,

It can be written as

Now,
3, -2 and 4 are rational numbers by property 1.
is rational by Property 3.
are rational by Property 3.
is rational by property 2.
So,
is rational.
Hence proved.
Answer:
(2.5, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the midpoint formula
Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ), then midpoint is
[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]
Given
(0, 1) and (5, 7), then
midpoint = [ 0.5(0 + 5), 0.5(1 + 7) ] = (0.5(5), 0.5(8)) = (2.5, 4)
Answer: .0142%
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the distributive property:
12(4-v)
(12*4)-(v*12)
48-12v
