<em>We can also graph inequalities on the number line. The following graph represents the inequality x≤2 . The dark line represents all the numbers that satisfy x≤2 . If we pick any number on the dark line and plug it in for x, the inequality will be true.</em>
Answer:
tam 20 = 4 / x
x = 4 /tan 20 = 4 / .364 = 10.99
Answer:
-14a
Explanation:
We are given 7(b - a) - 7(b + a).
We can distribute the 7’s to get:
7b - 7a - 7b - 7a
Combining like terms, we have:
-14a
Y=8x because 42-26 is 16 and divide that by the difference between the hours to get how much you pay per hour
Answer:
D.) because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers
Step-by-step explanation:
The root of any integer that is not a perfect square is irrational. 5 is not a perfect square, so is irrational—it cannot be expressed as the ratio of integers.

<em>Proof</em>
Suppose √5 = p/q, where p and q are mutually prime. Then p² = 5q².
If p is even, then q² must be even. We know that √2 is irrational, so the only way for q² to be even is for q to be even—contradicting our requirement on p and q.
If p is odd, then both p² and q² will be odd. We can say p = 2n+1, and q = 2m+1, so we have ...
p² = 5q²
(2n+1)² = 5(2m+1)²
4n² +4n +1 = 20m² +20m +5
4n² +4n = 4(4m² +4m +1)
n(n+1) = (2m+1)²
The expression on the left will be even for any integer n; the expression on the right will be odd for any integer m. This equation cannot be satisfied for any integers m and n, so contradicting our assumption √5 = p/q.
We have shown using "proof by contradiction" that √5 cannot be the ratio of integers.
