Hello! So, in order to solve this question, we should do 500/4. 500/4 = 125. Multiply 125 by 3 and you get 375. The horse costs $125 and the carriage costs $375.

The 2 triangles below are similar. Solve for X please!
AysviL [449]

Answer:

C) x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the value of x using similarity ratio

x/8 = 9/6 cross multiply expressions

6x = 72 divide both sides by 6

x = 12

a tool rental cost $0.65 per minute. if the total bill for the rental was $18.20 then for how many minutes was the tool used?
REY [17]
Wouldn't you do 18.20 divide that by .65 & get 28. So the tool was used for 28 minutes

Use a proof by contradiction to show that the square root of 3 is national You may use the following fact: For any integer kirke
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Let us proof that √3 is an irrational number, using <em>reductio ad absurdum</em>. Assume that \sqrt{3}=\frac{m}{n} where  m and n are non negative integers, and the fraction \frac{m}{n} is irreducible, i.e., the numbers m and n have no common factors.

Now, squaring the equality at the beginning we get that

3=\frac{m^2}{n^2} (1)

which is equivalent to 3n^2=m^2. From this we can deduce that 3 divides the number m^2, and necessarily 3 must divide m. Thus, m=3p, where p is a non negative integer.

Substituting m=3p into (1), we get

3= \frac{9p^2}{n^2}

which is equivalent to

n^2=3p^2.

Thus, 3 divides n^2 and necessarily 3 must divide n. Hence, n=3q where q is a non negative integer.

Notice that

\frac{m}{n} = \frac{3p}{3q} = \frac{p}{q}.

The above equality means that the fraction \frac{m}{n} is reducible, what contradicts our initial assumption. So, \sqrt{3} is irrational.

2. Let us prove now that the multiplication of an integer and a rational number is a rational number. So, r\in\mathbb{Q}, which is equivalent to say that r=\frac{m}{n} where  m and n are non negative integers. Also, assume that k\in\mathbb{Z}. So, we want to prove that k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Z}. Recall that an integer k can be written as

k=\frac{k}{1}.

Then,

k\cdot r = \frac{k}{1}\frac{m}{n} = \frac{mk}{n}.

Notice that the product mk is an integer. Thus, the fraction \frac{mk}{n} is a rational number. Therefore, k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Q}.

3. Let us prove by <em>reductio ad absurdum</em> that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number. So, we have x is irrational and p\in\mathbb{Q}.

Write q=x+p and let us suppose that q is a rational number. So, we get that

x=q-p.

But the subtraction or addition of two rational numbers is rational too. Then, the number x must be rational too, which is a clear contradiction with our hypothesis. Therefore, x+p is irrational.
