Answer:
The correct order is:
a
c
d
b
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's write 1/x in a convenient way for us:
a) Substitute 1/x = p/q, to obtain x = 1/(1/x) = 1/(p/q) = q/p.
Now we assume that 1/x is rational (we want to prove that this implies that x will be also rational and because we know that x is irrational assuming that 1/x is rational will lead to an incongruence), then:
c. If 1/x is rational, then 1/x = p/q for some integers p and q with q ≠ 0. Observe that p is not 0 either, because 1/x is not 0.
Now we know that we can write x as a quotient of two integers, we need to imply that, then the next one is:
d) Observe that x is the quotient of two integers with the denominator nonzero.
And that is the definition of rational, then we end with:
b) Hence x is rational.
Which is what we wanted to get.
Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
4.5*(2/3)
= 3 hours
The pile contains 17 quarters and 15 half-dollars.
Let <em>x</em> = the number of quarters and <em>y</em> = the number of half-dollars.
We have two equations:
(1) $0.25<em>x</em> + $0.50<em>y</em> = $11.75
(2) <em>x</em> = <em>y</em> +2
Substitute the value of <em>x</em> from Equation (2) into Equation (1).
0.25(<em>y</em>+2) + 0.50<em>y</em> = 11.75
0.25<em>y</em> + 0.50 + 0.50<em>y</em> = 11.75
0.75<em>y</em> = 11.75 – 0.50 = 11.25
<em>y</em> = 11.25/0.75 = 15
Substitute the value of <em>y</em> in Equation (2).
<em>x</em> = 15 + 2 = 17
The pile contains 17 quarters and 15 half-dollars.
<em>Check</em>: 17×$0.25 + 15×$0.50 = $4.25 + $7.50 = $11.75.
