Let a and b be rational numbers. Is a – b rational or irrational?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are rational, a - b has to be rational because we are not dividing them. 2 rational numbers subtracted from each other is always a rational number.

Example: 34 (rational) 23 (rational)

34 - 23 = 11 (rational)

the product 9f 2 numbers is 16/9 . if one number is 5 /2 find the other number​

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 32/45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

The product of two numbers is 16/9

That's

x × y = 16/9

One of the numbers is 5/2

That's

y = 5/2

So we have

[tex] \frac{5}{2} x = \frac{16}{9} [/tex]

Multiply through by the LCM

The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18

That's

[tex]18 \times \frac{5}{2} x = \frac{16}{9} \times 18[/tex]

9 × 5x = 16 × 2

45x = 32

Divide both sides by 45

we have the final answer as

[tex]x = \frac{32}{45} [/tex]

Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point. m= 4/5,(1,-8).
The equation of the line is y=‽​

Answers

Answer:

y=4x/5-44/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that we can write any linear equation in the form y=ax+b, where a is the slope. This means that y=(4/5)x+b. Now, it has the point (1, -8). Plugging in x=1 and y=-8 gives us -8=(4/5)+b, which means that b=-44/5. Plugging this in gives us y=(4/5)x-44/5. Hope it helped!

A study table of length 2 m and breath 1.25 m in decorted with square design of size 10x 10 find the number of such designs??? ​

Answers

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the shape of the table be rectangular in nature.

Area of the study table = Length * Breadth

Area of the study table = 2m * 1.25m

Area of the study table = 200cm * 125cm (since 100cm = 1m)

Area of the study table = 25000cm²

If the study table is decorated with square design of size 10cm x 10cm, the area of one square design is 100 cm².

The number of such square designs = Area of the study table/area of one square design

The number of such square designs = 25000cm²/100cm²

The number of such square designs = 250

Hence the number of such design is 250

the length of a basketball pitch can be divided into 12 parts which 25 centimetres on how much parts it's 20 centimetres long can be obtained from the pitch​

Answers

Answer:

the number of parts is going to be

= 15 parts

Step-by-step explanation:

A basketball pitch can be divided into twelve(12) parts , each part of equal length of twenty five (25) centimeters.

The initial and total length of the basketball pitch = 12*25

The initial and total length of the basketball pitch = 12*25

The initial and total length of the basketball pitch = 300 cm

So if it's now divided into parts of each 20 cm ,

the number of parts is going to be

= 300/20

the number of parts is going to be

= 15 parts

Which point would be a solution to the system of linear inequalities shown below? {see image for inequalities}

(-10, -2)
(−5,2)
(10,7)
(10,−2)

Answers

Answer:

(10, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequalities are:

y < x - 7               (1)

y < (1/5)x - 2        (2)

To solve this problem, we have to solve both equations simultaneously and then find the value of x and y that makes the inequality true.

To solve the inequality, subtract inequality (2) from inequality (1) which gives:

0 < (4/5) x - 5

-(4/5)x < -5

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4/5 gives:

-(4/5)x / (-4/5) < -5/ (-4/5)

x > 6.25

Put x > 6.2 in inequality 1

y < 6.25 - 7

y < -0.75

The solution of the inequality is x > 6.25 and y < -0.75

From the list of option, the correct answer is (10, -2) since 10 > 6.25 and -2 < -0.75

m_1 = (4x + 9)º and m_2 = (x - 14)° in the given figure. Find x.

Answers

Answer:

x=19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Line n and l form a right angle. We know that because line m and l are parallel to each other and line n crosses through them as a vertical line.

Right angles always add up to 90°.

So, Angle 1 add Angle 2 equals 90°.

4x+9+x-14=90°

Collect the like terms:

Like terms are terms with the same variables and powers.

4x+x=5x

9-14= -5

Form an equation:

5x-5=90°

Do inverse operations to isolate x.

90+5=95°

95÷5=19° (We divide by 5 because, in algebra, when a number is next to a letter, it means times, so we have to do the opposite and divide).

So, x=19°
