prove that √p is an irrational number , if p is not a perfect square.

[tex] \huge \frak \red{answer}[/tex]

Let us assume, to the contrary, that √p is rational. So, we can find coprime integers a and b(b ≠ 0) such that :-

=> p = a/b

=> √p b = a

=> pb² = a² ….(i) [Squaring both the sides]

=> a² is divisible by p

=> a is divisible by p So, we can write a = pc for some integer c.

Therefore,

a² = p²c² ….[Squaring both the sides]

=> pb² = p²c² ….[From (i)]

=> b² = pc²

=> b² is divisible by p

=> b is divisible by p

=> p divides both a and b.

=> a and b have at least p as a common factor.

But this contradicts the fact that a and b are coprime. This contradiction arises because we have assumed that p is rational. Therefore, p is irrational.

The perimeter of a rectangle is represented by the expression 6x + 4. If the width of the rectangle is represented by the expression x – 1, which expression represents the length? 4x + 6 4x – 6 2x + 3 2x + 6

Answers

Answer:

2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

two sides measure (x-1) which gives 2(x-1) or 2x - 2

subtract 2x - 2 from 6x + 4 to get 4x + 6

4x + 6 represents twice the length so divide it in half to get:

All the triangles have 180° total angle measurement.

First question:

114 + 37 + x = 180°

151 + x = 180

x = 180 - 151

x = 29°

Second question:

93 + 46 + x = 180

139 + x = 180

x = 180 - 139

x = 41°

Answer:

In the first question x=29 Because the interior of a triangle adds up to 180.So you will add 114+37=151 , 180-151=29

The second question 93+46=139

180-139=41

x=41

Box A has a surface area of 98 in 2. If box B is 4 times the size of box A, what is the surface area of box B?

Answers

Given:

Box A has a surface area of 98 in².

Box B is 4 times the size of box A.

To find:

The surface area of box B.

Solution:

Let "a" be the side of box A , then "4a" be the side of box B because box B is 4 times the size of box A.

We know that the areas of similar figures are proportional to the square of their corresponding sides.

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Area of box A}}{\text{Area of box B}}=\dfrac{(\text{Side of box A})^2}{(\text{Side of box B})^2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{98}{A_B}=\dfrac{(a)^2}{(4a)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{98}{A_B}=\dfrac{(a)^2}{16a^2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{98}{A_B}=\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex]

Using cross multiplication, we get

[tex]98\times 16=1\times A_B[/tex]

[tex]1568=A_B[/tex]

Therefore, the surface area of box B is 1568 in².

The ratio of seventh graders to sixth graders on a chess team is 5 to 3 . What is the ratio of seventh graders to total chess players ? Enter the correct answer in the box

Answers

Answer: 5 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of seventh graders to sixth grader on the team is 5 : 3.

Assuming that only seventh and sixth graders are in the team, the total number of chess players at the most simple basis is:

= Number of seventh grade students in ratio + Number of sixth grade students in ratio

= 5 + 3

= 8 students

There are 5 seventh graders so the ratio will be:

= 5 : 8

Note: The chess team will most likely have more than 8 members but the  ratio of seventh graders to total chess players will still be 5 : 8.

Need to keep cell bill under 60.,monthly charge is 30. And texts are 0.05 each. Write an inequality to represent the # of texts she can have

Answers

Answer:

[tex]30 + 0.05x < 60[/tex]

The number of texts she can have is less than 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total monthly charge

30 + 0.05 for each text.

So, for x tests, the charge is:

[tex]C(x) = 30 + 0.05x[/tex]

Write an inequality to represent the # of texts she can have?

It has to be under 60, so:

[tex]C(x) < 60[/tex]

[tex]30 + 0.05x < 60[/tex]

The solution is:

[tex]0.05x < 30[/tex]

[tex]x < \frac{30}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex]x < 600[/tex]

The number of texts she can have is less than 600.

I need help on finding the perimeter of MNP. I do not know how to start this problem. Any help will be appreciated :)

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter of triangle MNP is 130 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By the mid segment theorem, we have it that the a side of the smaller inner triangle is 1/2 the measure of the parallel side of the bigger triangle that faces it

This mean RS is half MN, QS is half NP and QR is half MP

Using this, we have it that;

2(x + 4) = 5x - 34

2x + 8 = 5x -34

5x-2x = 34 + 8

3x = 42

x = 42/3

x = 14

So we have RS which is x + 4 as 14 + 4 = 18

The perimeter of the smaller triangle is the sum of its side lengths

We have this as;

22 + 25 + 18 = 65

Furthermore, by the mid segment theorem , the perimeter of the bigger triangle is twice that of the smaller

thus, we have the perimeter of MNP as 2(65) = 130 units
