If a and b are two distinct rational numbers, then which of the following statements is true?
a+b is always a rational number while a−b is not always a rational number.
Both a+b and a−b are not always rational numbers.
Both a+b and a−b are always rational numbers.
a+b is not always a rational number while a−b is always a rational number.

pls add explanation if possible

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Both are rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rational number can be written in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers, let a=p1/q1 b=p2/q2.

And we know the product of two integers is an integer

p1q2, p2q1 are integers. And the sum or difference of two integers is rational, rather being specific, it is an integer.

Thus a+b and a-b is rational.

Answers

Answer:

x = 5.1

Step-by-step explanation.

Our first step is to find all the angles. If b = 91 degree and c is 38, a. has to be 51 because all triangles add up to 180 degree. Because we have both B and b, we can use sine law.

a/A     13/sin91      c/38

we can use b in this situation.

The legnth  of a is 10.1.

So,  x-5 would be 5.1

Dana bought almonds at $8 per can and cashews at $12 per can. In total she bought 470 cans of nuts. Her total bill was $4260. How many cans of each type of nut did she buy? Use either substitution or elimination to solve this problem.

Answers

Answer:

almonds =345, cashews=125

Step-by-step explanation:

a=almonds, c=cashews

8a+12c=4260. Equation 1

a + c= 470  Equation 2

a=470-c. Isolate a from equation 2

8(470-c)+12c=4260 sub value of a from equation 2 into equation 1

3760-8c+12c=4260

4c=500

c=125

solve for a by substituting value of c into either equation

a+c=470

a+125=470

a=345

Latoya has b decks of cards . Each deck has 52 cards in it , what is the expression for the total numbers of cards latoya has

Answers

Answer:

52b

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 52 cards per deck, and b decks.

This means she has 52b cards.

How this works:

For 1 deck, she has 52 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 2 decks, she has 104 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 5 decks, she has 260 cards, or 52×5 cards.

For 10 decks, she has 520 cards, or 52×10 cards.

Therefore, for b decks, she has 52×b, or 52b cards.

On the coordinate plane, point T is located at (0,7) and point U is located at (x,-5). The distance between points T and U is 15 units.
What are the two possible values of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 9 or x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the given points are;

The location of the point T = (0, 7)

The location of the point U = (x, -5)

Then distance between points T and U = 15 units

The distance between points A and B, 'd', given their coordinates, A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is found using the following formula;

[tex]d=\sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}[/tex]

Therefore, for the given points, T(0, 7) and U(x, -5), we get;

[tex]15 = \sqrt{\left ((-5) - 7 \right )^{2}+\left (x - 0 \right )^{2}}[/tex]

Squaring both sides, gives;

[tex]15^2 = \left ((-5) - 7 \right )^{2}+\left (x - 0 \right )^{2}} = (-12)^2 + x^2[/tex]

∴ x² = 15² - (-12)² = 81 = 9²

x² = 9²

∴ x = ±√(9²) = ± 9

The possible values of x are x = 9 or x = -9

Answer:

AC Or CA

Step-by-step explanation:

So, this is what a b and c would look like on a number line:

A----C----B

However, we dont know exactly what these variables are. THey could be somerthing like this:

A------------------C-B

But this doesnt matter.

If we look at the first numberline, A and C make up the first half of the numberline.

C to B make up the later half.

AB is the total numberline.

SO tecnically, A to C+ C to B = AB

Or:

AC + CB = AB

This can also be seen in the second numberline.

A to C make up almost all of the numberline.

C to B make up a smll amount.

But in the end, AC + CB will still make AB.

Problema de Ecuación de la demanda La demanda semanal para un CD es de 26 mil unidades cuando el precio es de $12 cada una, y de 10 mil cuando el precio unitario es de $18. Encuentra una ecuación de la demanda para el CD suponiendo que es lineal.

Answers

Answer:

d(x)  =  - 2666.67*a  +  42000

Step-by-step explanation:

Vamos a llamar a d(x) la ecuación de la demanda de CD, entonces como la relación entre las dos variables es lineal la ecuación de la demanda es del tipo:

d(x) = a*x  + b        (1)

en esa relación a es la pendiente de la recta y b es el intercepto con el eje y que en este cas es el eje de valores de d(x).

Tenemos dos condiciones que cumplir y dos incógnitas que determinar ( a y b).

Cuando el precio ( x = 18 $ ) el monto de d(x)  es de 10000 entonces por sustitución en la ecuación general (1)

10000 = 18*a  +  b   (2)

Y cuando   (  x  =  12  $) d(x) =  26000

26000 = 12*a  +b    (3)

Resolviendo para a y b el sistema de dos ecuacions con dos incógnitas tenemos:

restando  ec 3  -  ec 2

16000 =  - 6*a

de donde   a = - 16000/6

a =  - 2666.67

Llevando ese valor a ec 2

10000  =  12 *(- 2666.67) + b

10000 + 32000 = b

b  = 42000

Finalmente la ecuación buscada es:

d(x)  =  - 2666.67*a  +  42000

Como la pendiente es negativa significa que d(x) va decreciendo cuando x va en aumento

- PLEASE HELP im in the middle of an exam

Answers

Answer:

1695.6 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The corn fills 25% of the height of the silo.

The diameter of silo, d = 12 feet

Radius, r = 6 feet

Height, h = 60 feet

The volume of the part of the silo that is filled with corn is given by :

[tex]V=25\%\ of\ \pi r^2 h\\\\=\dfrac{25}{100}\times 3.14\times 6^2\times 60\\\\V= $$1695.6\ feet^3[/tex]

So, the required volume is equal to 1695.6 cubic feet.

5x - 3x = 1 + 3

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Answer:

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides 5x - 3 and 3x + 1 are the same length, so you can put an equal sign: 5x - 3 = 3x + 1, x = 2:

5(2) - 3 = 3(2) + 1

10 - 3 = 6 + 1

What are coordinates?

Coordinates are two numbers (Cartesian coordinates), or sometimes a letter and a number, that locate a specific point on a grid, known as a coordinate plane. A coordinate plane has four quadrants and two axes: the x axis (horizontal) and y axis

As, we locate this coordinate in graph we can see the line will either rise from left to right or falls from right to left.

Hence, line that passes through the points (5, -7) and (a, -4) will rise from left to right.
