Answer:

Both are rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rational number can be written in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers, let a=p1/q1 b=p2/q2.

And we know the product of two integers is an integer

p1q2, p2q1 are integers. And the sum or difference of two integers is rational, rather being specific, it is an integer.

Thus a+b and a-b is rational.

Answer:

The predicted life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years is 65.33 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The least square regression line is used to predict the value of the dependent variable from an independent variable.

The general form of a least square regression line is:

\hat y=\alpha +\beta x

Here,

<em>y</em> = dependent variable

<em>x</em> = independent variable

<em>α</em> = intercept

<em>β</em> = slope

The regression line to predict the life expectancy of men in a country from the life expectancy of women in that country is:

\hat y=3.73 +0.88 x

Compute the life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years as follows:

\hat y=3.73 +0.88 x

  =3.73 +(0.88\times 70)\\=3.73+61.6\\=65.33

Thus, the predicted life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years is 65.33 years.

For each function, do the following: a) state the name of the function, b) identify the independent and dependent variable, c) i
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Given the function in the question

f(x) = |x-3| + 2

a) state the name of the function

  Absolute value function

  since it is similar to f(x) = |x|

b) identify the independent and dependent variable  

x = independent variable (input variable)

f(x) or y = dependent variable  (output variable)

The variable which we assign the value we call the independent variable,    and the other variable is the dependent variable, since it value depends on  the independent variable.

c) identify the rule

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x.

d) evaluate the function

given x = -5

 f(-5) = |-5 - 3| + 2

        = |-8| + 2

        = 8 +2

        = 10

Need math help please!
loris [4]

Answer:

SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

We can automatically eliminate the HL answer choice, since the given triangles aren't right triangles. The only answer choices that could make sense would be ASA or SAS, but there is no ASA choice, so the answer would be SAS.
