is the sum of two rational numbers always rational

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

in short, Yes they are always rational.

here's why...

E.g. suppose [tex]\frac{c}{d}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] are fractions, that means that a,b,c,d are all integers, and b and d are not zero. finding the sum the numerator, and denominator would also have to be integers. the denominator of the sum can't be zero since the denominators of the fractions were not zero, and would give [tex]\frac{ad+bc}{bd}[/tex] and since they are bound by addition (sum means addition) they must also be rational since eit would equal a bigger integer than initially had

O (0,-5) and (4, -13)
What is it?

Answers

Answer:

Third option: (0,-5) and (-4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + y^2 = 25

2x + y = -5

y = -5 - 2x

x^2 + (-5-2x)^2 = 25

x^2 + 25 + 20x + 4x^2 = 25

5x^2 + 20x + 25 = 25

5x^2 + 20x = 0

5x(x+4) = 0

5x=0 --> x=0

x+4=0 --> x=-4

2(-4) + y = -5

-8 + y = -5

y = 3 --> (-4,3)

2(0) + y = -5

0 + y = -5

y = -5 --> (0,-5)

Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are (0,-5) and (-4,3)

How to Estimate Aquarium Water Volume

You can estimate the amount of water that a tank can hold by using the volume formula for the shape of your tank. The process is similar to calculating tank volume for other tanks, but the formulas are a bit different for different aquarium shapes.

You’ll need a different formula to find the volume for rectangular, bow front, cylindrical, and other aquarium shapes.

Tank Volume Formulas

See the volume formulas for various aquarium fish tank styles below.

Rectangular Tank Formula

tank volume = l × w × h

l = tank length

the description is very difficult to understand with special characters and potential typing errors.

I suspect the definition is

function(x) = 32 - x²

function(-5)function(-5) is then very easily calculated.

we need to calculate function(-5) and then square the result, as function(-5)function(-5) is just a simple multiplication of the function results.

function(-5) = 32 - (-5)² = 32 - 25 = 7

The height, h, in feet of a piece of cloth tied to a waterwheel in relation to sea level as a function of time, t, in seconds can be modeled by the equation h = 15 cosine (StartFraction pi Over 20 EndFraction t). How long does it take for the waterwheel to complete one turn? 5 seconds 10 seconds 20 seconds 40 seconds.

Answers

Solving the trigonometric equation, it is found that it takes 40 seconds to complete one turn.

The height is modeled by:

[tex]h(t) = 15\cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{20}t\right)}[/tex]

The initial height is [tex]h(0) = 15[/tex], hence, one turn is completed when h(t) = 15.

[tex]h(t) = 15\cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{20}t\right)}[/tex]

[tex]15 = 15\cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{20}t\right)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{20}t\right)} = \frac{15}{15}[/tex]

[tex]\cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{20}t\right)} = 1[/tex]

The length of one turn is of [tex]2\pi[/tex], and [tex]\cos{(2\pi)} = 1[/tex], hence, the solution is found according to:

[tex]\frac{\pi}{20}t = 2\pi[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{40\pi}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]t = 40[/tex]

It takes 40 seconds to complete one turn.

Write an equation to describe the relationship between nnn, the step number, and hhh, the height from the base.

Answers

The equation that describes the relationship between n, the step number, and h, the height from the base is [tex]\mathbf{h = 0.2n}[/tex]

The sets of step are given as:

Step number (n)       Height from the base (h)

        50                                 10

        90                                 18

        110                                 22

The above table represents a linear relationship.

So, we start by calculating the slope (m)

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{h_2 -h_1}{n_2 -n_1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{18 - 10}{90 - 50}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{8}{40}}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\mathbf{m = 0.2}[/tex]

The equation is then calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{h = m(n -n_1) + h_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{h = 0.2(n -50) + 10}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{h = 0.2n -10 + 10}[/tex]

Evaluate like terms

[tex]\mathbf{h = 0.2n}[/tex]

Hence, the equation that describes the steps is [tex]\mathbf{h = 0.2n}[/tex]

Beth borrows $100 from her grandmother. She plans to pay her grandmother $15 a month until the money is paid back. Which equation can be used to determine how much Beth will owe, y , after 5 months?

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is y=15(100)−5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is written as y = 100 - 5x. Then the amount of money left after 5 months will be $25.

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

Beth acquires $100 from her grandma. She intends to pay her grandma $15 every month until the cash is taken care of.

Let 'x' be the number of months and 'y' be the remaining amount. Then we have

y = 100 - 15x

The amount of money left after 5 months is calculated as,

y = 100 - 15 (5)

y = 100 - 75

y = $25

The condition is composed of y = 100 - 5x. Then how much cash left following 5 months will be $25.
