I think that the sum will always be a rational number
let's prove that
<span>any rational number can be represented as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0
</span>and an integer is the counting numbers plus their negatives and 0
so like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4....
<span>so, 2 rational numbers can be represented as
</span>a/b and c/d (where a,b,c,d are all integers and b≠0 and d≠0)
their sum is
a/b+c/d=
ad/bd+bc/bd=
(ad+bc)/bd
1. the numerator and denominator will be integers
2. that the denominator does not equal 0
alright
1.
we started with that they are all integers
ab+bc=?
if we multiply any 2 integers, we get an integer
<span>like 3*4=12 or -3*4=-12 or -3*-4=12, etc.
</span>even 0*4=0, that's an integer
the sum of any 2 integers is an integer
like 4+3=7, 3+(-4)=-1, 3+0=3, etc.
so we have established that the numerator is an integer
now the denominator
that is just a product of 2 integers so it is an integer
<span>2. we originally defined that b≠0 and d≠0 so we're good
</span>therefore, the sum of any 2 rational numbers will always be a rational number <span>is the correct answer.</span>

Mr. Smith has 5 2/4 lb. of dry fish food. He will put an equal amount of food into 4 containers. How much fish food will be in each container.
Answer:
(1-cosA)/(1+cosA)
=(1-cosA)/(1+cosA) ×(1-cosA)/(1-cosA)
=(1-cosA)^2 /(1-cos^2A)
=(1-cosA)^2 / (sin^2A)
=(1/sinA - cosA/sinA )^2
=cosecA - cotA)^2
Hope it helps
Have a great Day ; )
Answer:
4/5 - 3/10 is 0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to divide top and bottom (Whatever you do to one side do to the other) So start off dividing 5 by 10 which wil give you 0.5, next you want to divide 4 by 3 which gives a repeating decimal so youll use the whole decimal (0.5) as an answer
