Which point is on the graph of f(x) = 5^x

Simplify the expression 3 1/3/3 1/3. Explain how the expression and its simplified form show that the set of irrational numbers

vampirchik [111]

The expression given is ambiguous according to the standard rules of math (PEMDAS) due to the lack of appropriate parentheses and probably the exponentiation symbol ^.

From the context, I assume it to mean
(3^(1/3)) / (3^(1/3)) = 1

Since 3^(1/3) is the cube-root of 3, and is thus irrational.
However, the quotient is exactly 1, which is a rational number.

The example is therefore a counter-example for the statement that "set of irrational numbers is closed under division", or stated differently,
"<span>the set of irrational numbers is not closed under division"</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle ADE... (given) \\\\\therefore \frac {AC}{AE} = \frac {BC}{DE}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac {5}{5+2x} = \frac {x+3}{4x+1}\\ \\ \therefore \: 5(4x + 1) = (5 + 2x)(x + 3) \\ \therefore \:20x + 5 = 5x + 15 + 2 {x}^{2} + 6x \\ \therefore \:20x + 5 =2 {x}^{2} + 11x + 15 \\ \therefore \:2 {x}^{2} + 11x + 15 -2 0x - 5 = 0\\ \therefore \:2 {x}^{2} - 9x + 10 = 0\\ \therefore \:2 {x}^{2} - 5x - 4x+ 10 = 0\\ \therefore \:x(2x - 5) - 2(2x - 5) = 0 \\ \therefore \:(2x - 5)(x - 2) = 0 \\ 2x - 5 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 2 = 0 \\ x = \frac{5}{2} \: \: or \: \: x = 2 \\ x = 2.5 \: \: or \: x = 2 \\ x = 2.5 \: is \: largest \\ \\ \frac{A(\triangle ABC)}{ A(\triangle ADE)} = \frac{AC ^{2} } {AE^{2} } \\ \\ \frac{A(\triangle ABC)}{ A(\triangle ADE)} = \frac{5 ^{2} } {(5 + 2x)^{2} } \\ = \frac{25}{(5 + 2 \times 2.5)^{2} } \\ = \frac{25}{ {10}^{2} } \\ = \frac{25}{100} \\ \\ \frac{A(\triangle ABC)}{ A(\triangle ADE)} = \frac{1}{4} \\$
