Lewis drove 14 miles north and 48 miles east. On his return trip he drove home diagonally. How much shorter was the return trip?

1 answer:

6 0

12 miles, Because using the Pythagorean theorem, A squared plus B squared = C squared. So 14 squared +48 squared equals 2500. The square root of 2500 is 50, so the total of 14+48 is 62-50 is 12 miles shorter

Prove that x 2 + y2 - 1 is irreducible in q[ x, y].

weqwewe [10]

Suppose that the polynomial x^2+y^2-1 is not irreducible.
It means that there exists two fractions such that :
$(\frac{p}{q})^2+( \frac{s}{t} )^2 -1=0\\\text{rearranging the above formula we get:}\\p^2t^2=q^2(t^2-s^2)\\\text{since q and p are primes each other, we deduce that }\\\text{q divide t meaning that we can write }t=a\times t\text{ for an integer a}\\\text{rearranging again the formula and using our finding we get:}\\q^2s^2=a^2q^2(q^2-p^2)\\\text{Same argument as above, we deduce that q divide s.}$
We found that q divide t and q divide s, but s and t are supposed to be prime each other. It is a contradiction.
The polynomial x^2+y^2-1 is then irreducible in q[x,y]
