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

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

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

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

Reason

The midpoint of a line is the point that is of equal distance from both ends of the of the line. It is the point halfway between the endpoints

(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

Reason

Supplementary angle are defined as angles that when added together, have a sum of 180°

(h) If ∠4 is complementary to ∠5, and ∠6 is complementary to ∠5, then ∠4 ≅ ∠6; Transitive property

Reason

Transitive property states that given three real numbers, a, b, and c, if a = b and c = b, then a = c

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%.

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%.

The equation in point slope form is y - 6 = 2(x + 3)

This is from the general point slope template of [tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

The m is the slope, which in this case is m = 2. The [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the point the line goes through. In this case, [tex]x_1 = -3 \text{ and } y_1 = 6[/tex]

If you were to solve that equation in bold for y, then you should get y = 2x+12 which is now in y = mx+b form, aka slope intercept form.

Answer:

(I'll leave cm out to save space and time in the answer)

the perimeter is 500, there are 5 sides. so on average a side will be 100.

that's already the important key idea.

it's indeed 100 for the third side, the second will be 10 less, the fourth 10 more (making the 2and and the 4th side 200 in sum, and therefore still 100 on average).

repeat this for the 1. and 5. side and we get:

Answer: -78 / 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

 2/5 + 3/7 + (-6/5) + (-13/7)

Combine terms that have the same denominator

= 2/5 + (-6/5) + 3/7 + (-13/7)

= -4/5 - 10/7

Convert denominator by Least Common Multiple (LCM)

= (-4 × 7) / (5 × 7) - (10 × 5) / (7 × 5)

= -28/35 - 50/35

= -78 / 35

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

Answer:

b. 7y-15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write out the expression

1. [tex]10y-3(y+5)[/tex]

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

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

Then, combine like terms to simplify further. Since 10y and -3y are like terms they can be subtracted

3. [tex]7y-15[/tex]

This means that B is the correct answer.

-13 1/2 < -6/8

Step-by-step explanation:

*Any negative in either the numerator or denominator will make the entire fraction negative.

1/2  = .5

-13 1/2 = -13.5

-6/8 = -3/4

-3/4 = -0.75

-6/8 = -0.75

-13 1/2 = -13.5

Which means:

-13 1/2 < -6/8

Answer:2 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

In 4 years Craston's age will be the same as Terrins age is now

Suppose the present of Craston's and Terrins are [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] respectively

According to the question

[tex]\Rightarrow x+4=y\\\Rightarrow y-x=4\quad \ldots(i)[/tex]

In 2 years Terrin will be twice as old  as craston

[tex]\Rightarrow (y+2)=2(x+2)\\\Rightarrow y-2x=4-2\\\Rightarrow y-2x=2\quad \ldots(ii)\\[/tex]

Solving (i) and (ii) we get

[tex]x=2,y=6[/tex]

Thus, the present age of Craston and Terrins are [tex]2[/tex] and [tex]6[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]c=-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x) = -2c + cx - x^2[/tex]

And that:

[tex]\displaystyle f^{-1} (5) = -1[/tex]

And we want to determine the value of c.

Recall that by definition of inverse functions:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{If } f(a) = b, \text{ then } f^{-1}(b) = a[/tex]

So, since f⁻¹(5) = -1, then f(-1) = 5.

Substitute:

[tex]f(-1) = 5 = -2c + c(-1) - (-1)^2[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]5 = -2c - c - (1)[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]6 = -3c[/tex]

And divide. Hence:

[tex]c = -2[/tex]

In conclusion, the value of c is -2.

how many parts of the gray 3/8 are covered by the gray 1/4 ?

2 parts = 2/8 are clearly covered by 1/4.

2/8 is what part of 3/8 ?

it is the same question as "2 is what part of 3" ?

is 2 a quarter (1/4) of 3 ? no, 1/4×3 = 3/4 and not 2.

is 2 one third (1/3) of 3 ? no, 1/3 of 3 = 1/3×3 = 1 and not 2.

is 2 two thirds (2/3) of 3 ? ah, 2/3 × 3 = 2. that is correct !

is 2 three quarters (3/4) of 3 ? no, 3/4×3 = 9/4 and not 2.

once you have the same denominator, you can easily compare the numerators and ignore the denominators for such problems.

(f - g)(x) =2x ^ 2 + 3 - (x ^ 2 - 7 )

Distribute the minus sign

Answer:

a + b =1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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