Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that [tex] \sqrt 3 - \sqrt 5[/tex] is a rational number.

So, it can be expressed in the form of [tex] \frac{p}{q} [/tex] where p and q are integers.

[tex]\therefore \sqrt 3 - \sqrt 5=\frac{p}{q}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \sqrt 3 =\frac{p}{q}+ \sqrt 5[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \sqrt 3 =\frac{p+q\sqrt 5}{q}[/tex]

Squaring both sides:

[tex] (\sqrt 3) ^2 =\bigg(\frac{p+q\sqrt 5}{q}\bigg ) ^2 [/tex]

[tex]\therefore 3 =\frac{p^2 +5q^2 +2\sqrt 5 pq}{q^2 } [/tex]

[tex]\therefore 3q^2 ={p^2 +5q^2 +2\sqrt 5 pq}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore 0 = p^2 +5q^2 -3q^2 +2\sqrt 5 pq [/tex]

[tex]\therefore - 2\sqrt 5 pq=p^2 +2q^2 [/tex]

[tex]\therefore \sqrt 5 = \bigg (\frac{p^2 +2q^2}{-2pq} \bigg) [/tex]

[tex]\therefore \sqrt 5 = - \bigg(\frac{p^2 +2q^2}{2pq} \bigg) [/tex]

Since, p and q are integers so [tex] - \bigg(\frac{p^2 +2q^2}{2pq} \bigg) [/tex] is rational.

[tex]\therefore \sqrt 5 [/tex] is also rational.

But it contradicts the fact that [tex]\sqrt 5 [/tex] is irrational.

Hence, our assumption that [tex] \sqrt 3 - \sqrt 5[/tex] is rational is wrong.

[tex] \therefore \sqrt 3 - \sqrt 5[/tex] is irrational.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{y+5}{y-3} \textrm{ where } y \ne 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll first factorize the quadratic equations by finding their zero-points:

[tex]y^2 - 3y - 40 = 0\\\Delta = (-3)^2 - 4\cdot 1 \cdot -40 = 9 + 160 = 169\\\sqrt{\Delta} = 13\\y = \frac{3 \pm 13}{2}\\y_1 = 8\\y_2 = -5\\y^2 - 3y - 40 = (y - 8)(y + 5)\\~\\y^2 - 11y + 24 = 0\\\Delta = (-11)^2 - 4\cdot 1\cdot 24 = 121 - 96 = 25\\\sqrt{\Delta}} = 5\\y = \frac{11 \pm 5}{2}\\y_1 = 8\\y_2 = 3\\y^2 - 11y + 24 = (y - 8)(y - 3)[/tex]

Now we can use this to simplify the whole division:

[tex]\frac{y^2-3y-40}{y^2-11y+24} = \frac{(y-8)(y+5)}{(y-8)(y-3)} = \frac{y+5}{y-3} \textrm{ where } y \ne 8[/tex]

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. 11 11

Answers

Answer:

If we are talking about a triangle with two sides being of equal length: 11, then you can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine the sides labeled as a, b, and c. a and b are both 11. We have to find the value of c. we can do this by writing a^2+b^2=c^2. so 11^2+11^2=c^2. All that is left to do is find the square root of c^2 and you are left with your answer.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 20 cm. The length of the rectangle is 3 cm less than 2 1/4 times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the dimension of the rectangle is shown below:

Given that

The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm

The width be x

So, the length would be 2 1 ÷ 4 x - 3 i.e.  9 ÷ 4x - 3

Now as we know that

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + width)

20 = 2 (9 ÷ 4x - 3 + x)

20 = 9 ÷ 2x - 6 + 2x

20 = 4.5x - 6 + 2x

26 = 6.5x

x = 4 cm

Now the length would be

= 9 × 4  ÷ 4  - 3

= 6 cm

Hence, the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively

A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 3 milliliters of compound A used for every 4 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist wants to make 378 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound B are needed?

Answers

Answer:

216 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, there are 3 milliliters of compound A used for every 4 milliliters of compound B.

Therefore,

A : B = 3 : 4

Let the common multiplier of the given ratios be x.

So, A = 3x & B = 4x

Since, chemist wants to make 378 milliliters of the drug.

Therefore, total volume of drug = 378 milliliters.

3x + 4x = 378

7x = 378

x = 378/7

x = 54

4x = 4*54 = 216

Thus, 216 milliliters of compound B are needed.

Triangle G F E is cut by line segment H J. Line segment H J goes from side G E to F E. The length of G F is 4 x minus 4, the length of H J is x + 3, and the length of J E is x minus 1.
If H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE, determine the following lengths.

HJ =

JE =

Answers

Answer:

HJ = 8  JE = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE. According to the midpoint theorem the line segment connecting the midpoint of two sides is parallel to the three side and its length is half of the third side. since JH is connecting the midpoints.

HJ= 1/2 (GF)

x + 3 = 1/2 (4x - 4)

x + 3 = 2x - 2

x = 5

^ Thus meaning the value of x is 5.

Now you just fill into your equations:

HJ = x + 3 = (5)  + 3 = 8

JE = x - 1 = (5) - 1 = 4

Therefore, HJ = 8; JE = 4.

Answer:

HJ = 8

JE = 4
