The cube root of 2 is irrational. The proof that the square root of 2 is irrational may be used, with only slight modification. Assume the cube root of 2 is rational. Then, it may be written as a/b, where a and b are integers with no common factors. (This is possible for all nonzero rational numbers). Since a/b is the cube root of 2, its cube must equal 2. That is, (a/b)3 = 2 a3/b3 = 2 a3 = 2b3. The right side is even, so the left side must be even also, thatis, a3 is even. Since a3 is even, a is also even (because the cube of an odd number is always odd). Since a is even, there exists an integer c such that a = 2c. Now, (2c)3 = 2b3 8c3 = 2b3 4c3 = b3. The left side is now even, so the right side must be even too. The product of two odd numbers is always odd, so b3 cannot be odd; it must be even. Therefore b is even as well. Since a and b are both even, the fraction a/b is not in lowest terms, thus contradicting our initial assumption. Since the initial assumption cannot have been true, it must <span>be false, and the cube root of 2 is irrational.

The answer for that question is 1 3/5
Answer:
B. 100π
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a sphere is given by
SA = 4 pi r^2
The radius is 5
SA = 4 * pi * r^2
SA = 4 * pi * 25
SA = 100 pi
