Put the steps in correct order to prove that if x is irrational, then 1/x is irrational using contraposition.

SOVA2 [1]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct order is:

a

c

d

b

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write 1/x in a convenient way for us:

a) Substitute 1/x = p/q, to obtain x = 1/(1/x) = 1/(p/q) = q/p.

Now we assume that 1/x is rational (we want to prove that this implies that x will be also rational and because we know that x is irrational assuming that 1/x is rational will lead to an incongruence), then:

c. If 1/x is rational, then 1/x = p/q for some integers p and q with q ≠ 0. Observe that p is not 0 either, because 1/x is not 0.

Now we know that we can write x as a quotient of two integers, we need to imply that, then the next one is:

d) Observe that x is the quotient of two integers with the denominator nonzero.

And that is the definition of rational, then we end with:

b) Hence x is rational.

Which is what we wanted to get.

  C = R

  2.5x +21 = 6x

  21 = 3.5x . . . . . . subtract 2.5x

  6 = x . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.5

A car has a windshield wiper on the driver's side that has total arm length of 10 inches. It rotates
son4ous [18]

Answer:

75.44 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the problem is produced and attached.

To determine the area of the cleaned sector:

Let the radius of the larger sector be R

Let the radius of the smaller sector be r

Area of the larger sector =\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi R^2

Area of the smaller sector =\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi r^2

Area of shaded part =Area of the larger sector-Area of the smaller sector

=\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi R^2-\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi r^2\\=\frac{\theta \pi}{360}X (R^2- r^2)

From the diagram, R=10 Inch, r=10-7=3 Inch, \theta=95^\circ

Therefore, Area of the sector cleaned

=\frac{95 \pi}{360}X (10^2- 3^2)\\=75.44$ Square Inches

= 5 + 2 x 9

= 5 + ( 2 x 9 )

= 5 + 18

= 23

Step 2 = 7 x 9

= 63

Step 3 = 63
