Answer:
This proof can be done by contradiction.
Let us assume that 2 - √2 is rational number.
So, by the definition of rational number, we can write it as

where a & b are any integer.
⇒ 
Since, a and b are integers
is also rational.
and therefore √2 is rational number.
This contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational number.
Hence our assumption that 2 - √2 is rational number is false.
Therefore, 2 - √2 is irrational number.
The length of the shadow is 124.7 in
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u />
Given:
Angle, θ = 30°
Height of the fence, h = 72 in
Length of the shadow, l = ?
Given:
tan 30° = 

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 124.7 in
Answer:
26 rows
Step-by-step explanation:
this is like a rectangle length×width situation.
seats per row = s
number of rows = r
s × r = 884
s = r + 8
so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :
(r + 8) × r = 884
r² + 8r = 884
r² + 8r - 884 = 0
the general solution to such a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
x = r
a = 1
b = 8
c = -884
r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =
= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =
= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30
r1 = -4 + 30 = 26
r2 = -4 - 30 = -34
a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.
Given:
The system of inequalities is:


To find:
The graph of the given system of inequalities.
Solution:
We have,


The related equations are:


Table of values for the given equations is:

0 1 -3
3 0 3
Plot (0,1) and (3,0) and connect them by a straight line to get the graph of
.
Similarly, plot (0,-3) and (3,3) and connect them by a straight line to get the graph of
.
The signs of both inequalities are ">". So, the boundary line is a dotted line and the shaded region or each inequality lie above the boundary line.
Therefore, the graph of the given system of inequalities is shown below.
