Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root of 2 is irrational. This has been proven by the Pythagoreans (there is a simple proof of that).

pi is also known to be irrational although the proof is a bit more demanding.

Square root of 10 can be written as a product of square root of 5 and square root of 2, which themselves are irrational. Any product involving an irrational number is irrational

Square root of 16 = 4. 4 can be written as a fraction 4/1, or 8/2, 16/4, etc. and therefore is rational by definition.

What is the weight per cm?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

2/5 g/cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When you want to know "A per B", divide the given quantity of A by the corresponding quantity of B. ("Per" essentially means "divided by".)

It can be convenient to choose table values that make the division easy:

12 g/(30 cm) = 4/10 g/cm = 0.4 g/cm

20 g/(50 cm) = 2/5 g/cm . . . . . . . . . . . . . same as 0.4 g/cm

The question is:

saul85 [17]

$f(x) = \sqrt{x+1} \\ y = \sqrt{x+1} \ or \ y^2 = x+1 \ or \ x = y^2 - 1 \\ Therefore, \ f^{-1}(x)=x^2 - 1$

$(fof^{-1})(a) = f(f^{-1}(a))=f(a^2-1) \\ =\sqrt{a^2-1+1}=\sqrt{a^2}=a \\ \\ (f^{-1}of)(a)=f^{-1}(f(a))=f^{-1}(\sqrt{a+1})= \\ (\sqrt{a+1})^2-1 = a+1-1 = a$

Therefore, $(fof^{-1})(a) = (f^{-1}of)(a) = a$
