Answer:

Irrational numbers are not closed under addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational numbers are the numbers that cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction \frac{x}{y}. In other words we can say that irrational number,s decimal expantion does not cease to end.

The closure property of addition in irrational numbers say that sum of two irrational number is always a rational number, But this is not true. It is not necessary that the sum is always irrational some time it may be rational.

This can be understood with the help of an example:

let (2+√2) and (-√2) be two irrational number. Their sum is (2+√2)+(-√2) = 2, which is clearly a rational number.

Hence, irrational numbers are not closed under addition.

a ball is thrown straight up from the top of a 128 foot tall building with an initial speed of 32 feet per second. the height of
STatiana [176]
Factoring, you have
  h(t) = -16(t^2 -2 -8) = -16(t -4)(t +2)

The ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, so
  0 = -16(t -4)(t +2)
  t = 4 or -2

The positive solution is the one of interest.
  It will take 4 seconds for the ball to hit the ground.

What are the possible values of x in -11x^2 + 2x = 10?
vlabodo [156]
        -11x² + 2x = 10
-11x² + 2x - 10 = 10 - 10
-11x² + 2x - 10 = 0
x = <u>-(2) +/- √((2)² - 4(-11)(-10))</u>
                     2(-11)
x = <u>-2 +/- √(4 - 440)</u>
               -22
x = <u>-2 +/- √(-436)
</u>             -22<u>
</u>x = <u>-2 +/- 2i√(109)
</u>              -22
x = <u>-2 + 2i√(109</u>)        x = <u>-2 - 2i√(109)</u>
             -22                            -22
x = ¹/₁₁ - ¹/₁₁i√(109)    x = ¹/₁₁ + ¹/₁₁i√(109)
