Prove that if r is any rational number, then 3r2 − 2r + 4 is rational. The following properties may be used in your proof. Property 1: Every integer is a rational number. Property 2: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. Property 3: The product of any two rational numbers is rational. Note: Property 1 is Theorem 4.3.1, Property 2 is Theorem 4.3.2, and Property 3 is Exercise 15 in Section 4.3. Using these properties, choose explanations for each step in the given proof.

Answer 1

Given:

Expression is

[tex]3r^2-2r+4[/tex]

To prove:

If r is any rational number, then [tex]3r^2-2r+4[/tex] is rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Property 1: Every integer is a rational number. It is Theorem 4.3.1.

Property 2: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Theorem 4.3.2.

Property 3: The product of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Exercise 15 in Section 4.3.  

Let r be any rational number.

We have,

[tex]3r^2-2r+4[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]3(r\times r)-2r+4[/tex]

Now,

3, -2 and 4 are rational numbers by property 1.

[tex]r^2=r\times r[/tex] is rational by Property 3.

[tex]3r^2\text{ and }-2r[/tex] are rational by Property 3.

[tex]3r^2+(-2r)+4[/tex] is rational by property 2.

So, [tex]3r^2-2r+4[/tex] is rational.

Hence proved.

Answer 2

We want to prove that if r is rational, then:

[tex]3*r^2 - 2r + 4[/tex]  Is also rational.

The proof is below:

Remember that a rational number is any number that can be written as a quotient of two integer numbers.

Then we have:

[tex]r = \frac{a}{b}[/tex]

Where a and b are integers.

If we replace that in our equation, we get:

[tex]3*(\frac{a}{b}) ^2 - 2*(\frac{a}{b}) + 4\\\\\frac{3a^2}{b^2} - \frac{2a}{b} + \frac{4}{1}[/tex]

Note that if a is an integer, then 3*a^2 is also an integer.

If b is an integer, then b^2 is also an integer.

Now we can perform the sum of these fractions to get:

[tex]\frac{3a^2}{b^2} - \frac{2a}{b} + \frac{4}{1}\\\\\frac{3a^2 - 2ab + 4b^2}{b^2}[/tex]

And because integers are closed under the addition, then the numerator of that fraction is also an integer, then we have that the given expression can be written as a quotient of two integers, thus, it is a rational number.

Ratio students to classroom in school B equals 104:4 which simplifies to 26:1.Total students combining school A and B equals 216+104=320 and Total classroom 12+4=16, if both school combined are assumed to be a single school C, than ratio of of students to the classroom in school C equals 320:16 which simplifies to 20:1 which means 20 students in every classroom, now total students in 4 classroom of School C equals 20x4=80, these 4 classroom are separated as School B and other 12 classroom School A, now ratio still 20:1 (same in both schools). initially students in School B were 104 and now are 80, then total students transferred equals 104-80= 24.

The table shows the outputs, y, for different inputs, x:
Input (x) 3 4 5 6
Output (y) 3 4 5 6
Part A: Do the data in this table represent a function? Justify your answer. (3 points)
Part B: Compare the data in the table with the relation f(x) - 2x + 16. Which relation has a greater value when x = 6? (2 points)
Part C: Using the relation in Part B, what is the value of x if f(x) - 40? (5 points)
(10 points)

Answers

Answer:

  A) is a function

  B) f(x) is greater

  C) x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Yes, the relation is a function.

A function has a unique input value for each output value. There are no repeated x-values, so this relation is a function.

__

B) The table says y=6 for x=6.

  f(6) = 2(6)+16 = 28

f(x) has a greater value for x=6.

__

C) Substituting the given information, we have ...

  40 = 2x +16

  24 = 2x

  12 = x

The value of x is 12 when f(x) is 40.

A relation between two variables a and b is a rule that takes some values a from a domain set and returns some value b in the range set.

A unitary method is a mathematical technique for finding the value of a single unit and then deriving the required units by multiplying with the single unit.

To find how many cupcakes each friend gets we can use the unitary method.

Given four friends made 55 cupcakes, therefore each friend can have (55/4) = 13.75 cupcakes, But the no. of cupcakes should be integers.

14 is the GCF of a number M and 210. What are possible values of M?

Answers

Answer:

Hello,  

we know that to find the GCF we descompose the numbers and then we multiply the common terms with the lowest exponent. So we first descompose 210:

210   | 2

105   | 3

 35   | 5

   7   | 7

   1    

210= 2x3x5x7

Now one possible solution is 14 because:

14   | 2

 7   | 7

 1

As you can see 2 and 7 are common terms, so:

GCF= 2x7

GCF=14   -->  It's correct

Then, if we analyze it, we'll realize that we have an infinitive number of solutions. The only requirement is that "M" must have 2 and 7 when we descompose it.

For example:

M= 2²x7x3x11

M=924

924 is another possible solution, it doesn't matter if 2 or 7 repeat, since I said the GCF is the multiplication of the common terms with the LOWEST exponent. That's all.

Sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the sales price. If sales tax is 6%, what is the sales tax on clothing that costs $180? (3 points)

Answers

Answer:

10.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales price x sales tax rate = sales tax

180 x .06 (6%) = 10.80

The amount of sales tax for the clothing that costs $180 is $10.8.

Given that,

Cost of a clothing = $180

We have to find the sales tax amount.

Sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the sales price.

Here,

Sales tax percentage = 6%

In order to find the actual sales tax amount, we have to multiply the cost with the percentage of sales tax.

Sales tax amount = 6% of 180

                             = (6/100) 180

                             = 0.6 × 18

                             = 10.8

Hence the sales tax amount is $10.8.
