Sum of an irrational number and a rational number is always irrational. Take for example 1/2 + \pi. Clearly, 1/2 is rational and its decimal expansion is equal to 0.5, while \pi is irrational and has a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansion. When you add the two, you are obviously going to get a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansion, hence the sum is irrational.

A number is picked randomly in the range [2,8]. If past selection indicates that the numbers picked are less than 5, what is the
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a) P = 2/7

b) P = 4/7

c) P = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

In the range of [2,8], we have the following integers which are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So this is a total of 7 integers.

a) We look for the probability that the numbers are less than 4, so we conclude that there are possible numbers 2 and 3 out of possible 7, so the required probability is equal to P = 2/7.

b) We look for the probability that the numbers are greater than 4, so we conclude that there are possible numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 out of possible 7, so the required probability is equal to P = 4/7.

c) Based on the previous two examples, we conclude that the required probability is P = 2/7· 1/2=1/7.

Find the surface area of each figure (spheres and hemispheres)
xenn [34]

Answer:

7. 1520.53 cm²

8. 232.35 ft²

9. 706.86 m²

10. 4,156.32 mm²

11. 780.46 m²

12. 1,847.25 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall:

Surface area of sphere = 4πr²

Surface area of hemisphere = 2πr² + πr²

7. r = 11 cm

Plug in the value into the appropriate formula

Surface area of the sphere = 4*π*11² = 1520.53 cm² (nearest tenth)

8. r = ½(8.6) = 4.3 ft

Plug in the value into the appropriate formula

Surface area of the sphere = 4*π*4.3² = 232.35 ft² (nearest tenth)

9. r = ½(15) = 7.5 m

Surface area of the sphere = 4*π*7.5² = 706.86 m² (nearest tenth)

10. r = ½(42) = 21 mm

Plug in the value into the formula

Surface area of hemisphere = 2*π*21² + π*21² = 2,770.88 + 1,385.44

= 4,156.32 mm²

11. r = 9.1 m

Plug in the value into the formula

Surface area of hemisphere = 2*π*9.1² + π*9.1² = 520.31 + 260.15

= 780.46 m²

12. r = 14 mi

Plug in the value into the formula

Surface area of hemisphere = 2*π*14² + π*14² = 1,231.50 + 615.75

= 1,847.25 mi²

PLEASE HELP simple geometry problem
vlabodo [156]

Perimeter is adding the 3 sides together. Since both triangles have the same perimeter set both triangles to equal:


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

Simplify each side:

3x+9 = 4x

Subtract 3x from each side:

x=9
