What is a counterexample to this claim? Dividing a number by 2 always results in a smaller number.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Dividing a number by 2 always results in a smaller number.

To find:

The counterexample to the given claim.

Solution:

If 0 is divided by is divided by any non-zero real number [tex]a[/tex], then

[tex]\dfrac{0}{a}=0[/tex]

Let us consider the unknown number be 0. Then dividing a number by 2, we get

[tex]\dfrac{0}{2}=0[/tex]

Here, the result is not a smaller number because [tex]0=0[/tex].

Therefore, the counterexample to the given claim is "Dividing 0 by 2".

The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

Always true,sometimes true, never true

Answers

Answer:   Always true

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

Explanation:

We can prove this by contradiction.

Let's say

A = some rational numberB = some irrational numberC = some other rational number

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

x2 – 1x – 90 = 0 has solutions {a, b}. What is a + b?

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the given quadratic as x^2 – 1x – 90 = 0.  This factors into

(x - 10)(x + 9) = 0, and so the roots/solutions are {-9, 10}.

If we call -9 "a" and 10 "b," then the sum a + b is -9 + 10, or a + b =1.

What percentage is 150 grams of 400 grams?
1 %

Answers

Answer:

37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

150/450 = .375 = 37.5%

The percentage is 150 grams out of 400 grams will be 37.5%.

What is the percentage?

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A quarter of 100 can be used to express the ratio. Per 100 is what the term percent signifies. The symbol '%' is used to symbolize it.

The percentage is given as,

Percentage (P) = [Initial value - Final value] / Initial value x 100

It is given that the difference between the initial and final value is 15 grams and the initial value is 400 grams.

Then the percentage is 150 grams out of 400 grams will be

P = (150 / 400) x 100

P = 0.375 x 100

P = 37.5%

Thus, the percentage is 150 grams out of 400 grams will be 37.5%.

Answer:

B. 7y - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

10y + -3(y + 5) = 0

Reorder the terms:

10y + -3(5 + y) = 0

10y + (5 * -3 + y * -3) = 0

10y + (-15 + -3y) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-15 + 10y + -3y = 0

Combine like terms: 10y + -3y = 7y

-15 + 7y = 0

Solving

-15 + 7y = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + 7y = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + 7y = 0 + 15

7y = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15

7y = 15

Divide each side by '7'.

y = 2.142857143

Simplifying

y = 2.142857143

To simplify the expression distribute the -3 to the terms within the paratheses.

2. [tex]10y-3y-15[/tex]

And we want to determine the value of c.

Answers

The following are the statement justifications and explanatory reasons ;

(a) AD + DB = AB; Is justified by segment addition postulate

Reason

Segment addition postulate states that let A and B represent two points,

Then a third D can be on the line joining A and B, if and only if the

relationship between the points is according to the equation, AD + DB = AB

only

(b) m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠CDB; Is justified by angle addition postulate

Reason

Angle addition postulate states that given that a point B lies between an angle m∠AOC, then we have;

m∠AOC = m∠AOB + m∠BOC

(c) ∠2 ≅ ∠6; Is justified by vertically opposite angles theorem

Reason

Vertical angles formed by the crossing of two lines are always equal

(d) If D is the midpoint of [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex], then AD = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]×AB; Definition of midpoint

(e) If [tex]\underset{DF}{\rightarrow}[/tex] bisects ∠CDB then ∠1 ≅ ∠2; Definition of angle bisector

Reason

An angle bisector is a ray or line that divides an angle into two angles that are congruent

(f) m∠ADF + m∠FDB = 180°; Linear pair postulate

Reason

The linear pair postulate states that where we have two angles that form a linear pear (their addition forms a straight line), then the two angles are supplementary  (their sum is 180°)

(g) ∠ADF and ∠4 are supplements, then m∠ADF + m∠4 = 180°; Definition of supplementary angle
