A 32-ft pipe must be cut into three pieces. The longest piece will be twice as long as the shortest piece, and the medium-sized piece will be 4 feet longer than the shortest piece. Find the length of each piece of pipe.

=========================================================

Explanation:

We can prove this by contradiction.

Let's say

and

A+B = C

We'll show that a contradiction happens based on this.

If A is rational, then A = p/q where p,q are two integers. The q cannot be zero.

If C is rational, then C = r/s for some other integers. We can't have s be zero.

Note the following

A+B = C

B = C - A

B = r/s - p/q

B = qr/qs - ps/qs

B = (qr - ps)/qs

B = (some integer)/(some other integer)

This shows B is rational. But this is where the contradiction happens: We stated earlier that B was irrational. A number cannot be both rational and irrational at the same time. The very definition "irrational" literally means "not rational".

In short, I've shown that if A+B = C such that A,C are rational, then B must be rational as well.

The template is

rational + rational = rational

Therefore, we've shown that if A is rational and B is irrational, then C cannot possibly be rational. C is irrational.

Another template is

rational + irrational = irrational

God Bless.

Step-by-step explanation:

that is really a problem ?

come on !

you know, the area of a square is side length × side length = length²

that is basically all of us learn as the very first thing when we are learning about squaring and multiplication.

how do we get the regular side length out of length² ?

we pull the square root. you have a calculator (at least on your computer, cell phone,...).

sqrt(121) = .... .... .... 11 ! tada !

and the perimeter of a square ... you really have to ask ?

it is the way all around the whole square. you need to go along every one of the 4 sides.

so, it is side length × 4 = 11×4 = 44 cm

again - you really needed help with THAT ?

Answer:

The probability of choosing a girl is 1/2.

The probability of choosing an A student who is a BOY is 5/28.

1/2 = 14/28, and 14/28 + 5/28 = 19/28. This can be simplified to 0.68

Thus, the answer is B. 0.68

Let me know if this helps!

The required probability of choosing a girl or an A student is 0.82. Option A   is correct.

Given that,
In a math class of 28 students, 14 boys and 14 are girls. On a unit test, 5 boys and 9 girls made an A grade.
A student is chosen at random from the class. What is the probability of choosing a girl or an A student is to be determined.

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

Total sample space = 28
Number of girls = 14
Number of boys = 14
Number of girls A grade student  = 9

probability of a girl = 14/28 = 0.5
probability of A grader girl  = 9 / 28 = 0.32
Now the probability of choosing a girl or an A grader girl student,
= 0.32 + 0.5
= 0.82

Thus, the required probability of choosing a girl or an A student is 0.82. Option A  is correct.

Answer:

x + y = 320

8x + 5y = 1900

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x + y = 320 represents how 320 tickets were sold in total, from combining the adult and child tickets sold.

Since adult tickets are $8 each, the money from adult ticket sales can be represented by 8x.

The money from child ticket sales can be represented by 5y.

The equation 8x + 5y = 1900 represents how $1900 worth of tickets were sold.

So, the system of equations for the situation is:

x + y = 320

8x + 5y = 1900

Answer:

y = 220

x = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 320

8x + 5y = 1900

x = 320 - y

8(320 - y) + 5y = 1900

2560 - 8y + 5y = 1900

2560 -3y = 1900

-2560        -2560

-------------------------

   -3y = -660

   -----    -------

    -3        -3

      y = 220

x + 220 = 320

    -220   -220

----------------------

        x = 100

Answer:

x=15.75 y=59

Step-by-step explanation:

In total there is 360 degrees. We know y is 59 so we will replace it with that.

59+59=118. 360-118=242. 242/2=121. 29+29=58. So we can subtract that to equal 63. Now 63=4x. We can divide so 2x=31.5. x=15.75.

Therefore, 15.75=x and 59=y

Answer:

c.8,625grams of flour

4a. X=12

Y=30

Z=60

Step-by-step explanation:

For c. , You have to convert the mixed numbers to fractions.

2¾ cups of flour= 2×4=8

8+3=11

Answer: 11/4 (11 over 4)

You multiply the 2 (whole number) by the 4 (bottom number) and then you get *8*

You then take the 8 (which was your answer) and add 3. This will give you 11

You take the 4 and use it as your denominator (bottom number) for the 11. So no need to find a denominator, because you just use the 4

For the fruit cake, she uses *1½* cups of flour more than carrot cake

Calculation:

1½ converted to an improper fraction= 1×2=2

2+1=3

Answer: 3/2 (3 over 2)

"Customer orders *3* carrot cakes and *4* fruit cakes

How many cups of flour are required to bake for the cakes ordered by the customer?"

11/4÷3= 8,25grams

3/2÷4= 0,375grams

8,25+0,375=8,625grams in total

 | 1-1-1-1-1-1

L.C.M.=2×2×3×5=60

reqd. number=60+1=61

if i distribute between 2,3,4,5,6 people then reqd number is 61

if Mia is also among those people or she gets also share

Answer:

  169 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines can be used to find the distance from the outfielder to the pitcher. It tells you for triangle ABC, the length of side c can be found from ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

Here, we hve a=60.5, b=214, and C=36°. Then the desired distance is ...

  c = √(60.5² +214² -2·60.5·214·cos(36°)) ≈ √28507.56 ≈ 168.84

The outfielder throws the ball about 169 feet.

Answer:

The difference will be increasing too

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) and g(x) is increasing in nature then

f(b) < f(a) and g(b) < g(a) for any a and b in the interval.

Subtracting these 2 equations, we get

f(b) - g(b) < f(a) - g(a) for any a and b in the interval.

Which means f-g is increasing in the interval (a, b) but as a and b were random real numbers we took, f(x) - g(x) will be increasing for an interval

Answer:

  D (compute the mean)

Step-by-step explanation:

A box plot is a visual representation of the 5-number summary of a set of data. It is plotted against a number line.

The 5-number summary of the data set is most easily determined from an ordered set of the data, so ordering the data is usually the first step. Since the 5-number summary is plotted against a number line, the next steps are finding the 5-number summary, and creating a suitable number line.

__

The business of adding the data and dividing by the number of data items is a description of computing the mean of the data. That value is not part of the 5-number summary, and is not needed in the creation of the box plot.

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x ^2 = 8^2+ 15^2

√x^2 =√64+225

x=17

Answer:

17cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle.

Using Pythagorean Theorem,

a² + b² = c²

Putting the given values in the equation;

(15)² + (8)² = c²

225 + 64 = c²

289 = c²

17² = c² (square root of 289 = 17)

17 = c

c = 17

Therefore, the missing side of the triangle is equal to 17 cm.

For the equation (2k + 1)x² + 2x = 10x - 6 to have two real and equal roots, the value of k = 5/6.

Since the equation is (2k + 1)x² + 2x = 10x - 6, we collect subtract 10x from both sides and add 6 to both sides.

So, we have (2k + 1)x² + 2x - 10x + 6 = 10x - 6 - 10x + 6

(2k + 1)x² - 8x + 6 = 0

For the equation, (2k + 1)x² + 2x = 10x - 6 to have two real and equal roots, this new equation (2k + 1)x² - 8x + 6 = 0 must also have two real and equal roots.

For the equation to have two real and equal roots, its discriminant, D = 0.

D = b² - 4ac where b = -8, a = 2k + 1 and c = 6.

So, D =  b² - 4ac

D =  (-8)² - 4 × (2k + 1) × 6 = 0

64 - 24(2k + 1) = 0

Dividing through by 8, we have

8 - 3(2k + 1) = 0

Expanding the bracket, we have

8 - 6k - 3 = 0

Collecting like terms, we have

-6k + 5 = 0

Subtracting 5 from both sides, we have

-6k = -5

Dividing through by -6, we have

k = -5/-6

k = 5/6

So, for the equation (2k + 1)x² + 2x = 10x - 6 to have two real and equal roots, the value of k = 5/6.
