prove that root 3 + root 7 is irrational

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

√3+√7 is irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that √3+√7 is rational.

That is , we can find coprimes a and b (b≠0) such that \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{7}=\sqrt{a}{b}

3

7

=

a

b

Therefore,

\sqrt{7}=\frac{a}{b}-\sqrt{3}

7

=

b

a

3

Squaring on both sides ,we get

7=\frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}+3-2\times \frac{a}{b}\times \sqrt{3}7=

Since, a and b are integers , \frac{(a^{2}-4b^{2})}{2ab}

2ab

(a

)

is rational ,and so √3 also rational.

But this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational.

This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that √3+√7 is rational.

Hence, √3+√7 is irrational.

I don’t understand how to find the height

Answers

Answer:

height, x is 235 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometric ratios:

[tex] \cos( \theta) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} [/tex]

but:

[tex] \theta = 90 \degree - 36 \degree \\ \theta = 54 \degree[/tex]

adjacent is x

hypotenuse is 400 ft

[tex] \ \cos ( 54 \degree) = \frac{x}{400} \\ \\ x = 400 \ \cos (54 \degree) \\ x = 235 \: \: feet[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]235\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, one is given two parallel lines and a few transversals that form a triangle between these parallel lines. The parallel lines, one from the parasailer, and one from the boat have an angle of depression between them. This means the angle of elevation from the boat to the parasailer is also (36) degrees. This is due to the alternate interior angles theorem, which states that when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

The triangle formed in this situation is a right triangle, this is indicated by the box around one of the angles. Now that one has found another angle measure in this triangle, one can use right angle trigonometry. Right angle trigonometry is a series of ratios that describe the relationship between the sides and angles of a right triangle. These ratios are as follows:

[tex]sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Please note that the names (opposite) and (adjacent) are subjective, and change relative to the angle one is looking at, however (hypotenuse) refers to the side opposite the right angle. This side doesn't change its name. In this situation, it would be most logical to use the ratio of sine, (sin), as one has the measure of the hypotenuse, and one is trying to find the measure of the side opposite the angle. Substitute the given information into the ratio of (sin) and solve to find the unknown:

[tex]sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]sin(36)=\frac{x}{400}[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]sin(36)=\frac{x}{400}[/tex]

[tex]400(sin(36))=x[/tex]

the answer choices:

Answers

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear , then

AB + BC = AC , that is

11 + 2x + 10 = x + 21

2x + 21 = x + 21 ( subtract x from both sides )

x + 21 = 21 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

x = 0

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

First I found the area of the triangle on the right

A = bh/2

A = (9)(4.5) / 2

A = 20.25 ft^2

Next, the area of the rectangle in the middle

A = lw

A = (7.5)(9)

A = 67.5 ft^2

And now the area of the right triangle on the left

A = bh/2

A = (5)(9) / 2

A = 22.5 ft^2

Add em all up : 20.25 + 67.5 + 22.5 = 110.25 ft^2

Solve the system using the elimination method.
x + y- 2z = 5
-x + 2y + z = 2
2x + 3y – z= 9

Answers

Answer:x=1, y=2, z=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1; y = 2; z = -1

This involves solving simultaneous equations using elimination method.

We are given the equations;

x + y - 2z = 5  - - - (eq 1)

-x + 2y + z = 2 - - - (eq 2)

2x + 3y – z = 9 - - - (eq 3)

Looking at the 3 equations, let's multiply equation 2 by 3 and multiply eq 1 and eq 3 by 1 to get;

x + y - 2z = 5  - - - (eq 4)

-3x + 6y + 3z = 6 - - - (eq 5)

2x + 3y – z = 9 - - - (eq 6)

Add eq 4, 5 & 6 together to get;

10y = 20

y = 20/10

y = 2

Similarly, let's repeat this proves by multiplying eq 1 by -1 and eq2 & eq 3 by 1 to get;

-x - y + 2z = - 5  - - - (eq 7)

-x + 2y + z = 2 - - - (eq 8)

2x + 3y – z = 9 - - - (eq 9)

Add eq 7, 8 and 9 together to get;

4y + 2z = 6

From earlier, we saw that y = 2. Thus;

4(2) + 2z = 6

8 + 2z = 6

2z = 6 - 8

2z = -2

z = - 2/2

z = - 1

Putting -1 for z and 2 for y into;

x + y - 2z = 5  

Gives; x + 2 - 2(-1) = 5

x + 4 = 5

x = 5 - 4

x = 1

Thus; x = 1; y = 2; z = -1

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Relations are only functions if they do not share any x values at all! The 2 graphs there that do not have any of the same x values are graphs A and D. Notice that on graph B, there are several y values that share the x value of 2; on graph C, there are several y values that share the x value of 2.

Answer:

A and D only

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation where each input has its own output ( each x values has its own corresponding y value ) If an input has more than one output than the relation is not a function.

We can tell if a graph shows a function or not by using the vertical line test. If you draw vertical lines on the graph and more than one point is on the vertical line drawn then the graph does not show a function.

For graph B if you draw a vertical line at x = -2 more than 1 point will be on the line meaning that the graph does not show a function.

For Graph C if you draw a vertical line at x = 2 more than 1 point will be on the line meaning that Graph C also does not show a function.

For Graphs A and D you can draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph and no more than 1 point will be on the line therefore Graphs A and D show functions.

the area if the top of a cube is 9 aquare meters . what is the volume of the cube?​

Answers

Answer:

27 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

For square, length and width is same.

3x3 = 9 square meters

3x3x3 = 27 cubic meters

Volume of a cube = length · width · height, or:

Volume of a cube = length³

We know that a cube is made up of 6 squares, so if the area of one of the squares is 9, we can take the square root to find the sides:

√9 = ±3

(and in this case, you can't have negative measurements, so it's positive.)

Now, all we have to do is cube the side length, so:

3³ = 27.

Suppose that you head an insurance company. Your most popular insurance policy has a premium of $600 and a deductible of $1,000. This insurance policy provides your state’s minimum coverage of $30,000 for injury or death to one person, $50,000 for injury or death to two or more people, and $10,000 for damage to property, which is called 30/50/10 coverage. Assume that, on average, 2 of your 100 customers have an accident every year. One of the accidents causes damage to property and the other causes injury or death to one person. Both drivers file for the maximum claims
Now assume that you are one of the customers purchasing this popular insurance policy with the company. Considering only your premiums, deductible, and claims, what is the break-even period after which you could make a $10,000 claim for property damage without the insurance company suffering a loss? Explain your answer.

Answers

Considering only this customer's premiums, deductible, and claims, the break-even period after which the customer could make a $10,000 claim for property damage without the insurance company suffering a loss is 15 months.

At this break-even period, the company will not make a profit or a loss.

Data and Calculations:

Monthly insurance premium payable = $600 (assumed to be paid monthly)

Deductible on the insurance policy = $1,000

Minimum coverage = 30/50/10

Coverage for injury or death to one person = $30,000

Coverage for injury or death to two or more people = $50,000

Coverage for damage to property = $10,000

Average accidents every year = 2

Total claims cost to the insurance before deductibles = $40,000 ($30,000 + $10,000)

Break-even period = 15 ($10,000 - $1,000)/$600

This break-even period is computed by deducting the deductible from the claim that the customer makes, and then dividing the result by the monthly insurance premium.

Thus, the customer could make a $10,000 claim for property damage without the insurance company suffering a loss after 15 months' break-even period.

Answer:

These two triangles are similar triangles. This means that their side lengths are proportional to each other.

Thus, making line segment EC equal to "x", and BC equal to "y" we can write:

8/y = 28/(10+y)

The next step is to get rid of the fractions, which can be done by cross multiplying.

So we have:

8(10+y) = 28(y)

After distribution and some simplification, you should get the value of y.

80+8y = 28y

80 = 20y

80/20 = 20y/20

4 = y

y = 4

Knowing that y = BC, and y = 4, it is clear that BC = 4.

Since BC = 4, one can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for segment EC.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the side lengths of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (in other words the longest side)

In our case, a and  b are 8 and 4 (the order doesn't really matter here).

So we have: 8^2 + 4^2 = c^2

64 + 16 = c^2

80 = c^2

c = sqrt 80

c  = 4 sqrt 5

And we arrive at the answer- EC = 4 sqrt 5, making B the correct choice.

Hope this helps!
