This graph shows a proportional relationship.
1 answer:
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 0.3, or K=0.3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The chart I attached shows points that are plotted on the proportional line. In order to find the constant of proportionality from these points, you have to divide the amount of change by the number of years. For example, 3 divided by 10 or 6 divided by 20. This results in 0.3, which means that every year, there is 0.3 centimeters of change in the sea level.

<span>A.) the sum of a and b is never rational.
This is a true statement. Since an irrational umber has a decimal part that is infinite and non-periodical, when you add a rational number to an irrational number, the result will have the same infinite non periodical decimal part, so the new number will be irrational as well.
</span><span>B.) The product of a and b is rational
This one is false. Zero is a rational number, and when you multiply an irrational number by zero, the result is always zero.
</span><span>C.) b^2 is sometimes rational
This one is true. When you square an irrational number that comes from a square root like </span>
, you will end with a rational number: 
, but, if you square rationals from different roots than square root like ![\sqrt[3]{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2%7D%20)
, you will end with an irrational number: ![\sqrt[3]{2^{2} } = \sqrt[3]{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2%7D%20)

<span>D.) a^2 is always rational
This one is false. If you square a rational number, you will always end with another rational number.
</span><span>E.) square root of a is never rational
</span>This one is false. The square root of perfect squares are always rational numbers:

F.) square root of b is never rational
This one is true. Since the square root of any non-perfect square number is irrational, and all the irrational numbers are non-perfect squares, the square root of an irrational number is always irrational.
We can conclude that given that<span> a is a rational number and b be an irrational number, A, C, D, and F are true statements.</span>
