A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 7/3 and subtract 3/2 from the product, you get 92. What is the number? Let the rational number be x. We're given: 7x/3 - 3/2 = 92 Using a common denominator of 3*2 = 6, we rewrite this as: 14x/6 - 9/6 = 92 (14x - 9)/6 = 92 Cross multiply: 14x - 9 = 92 * 6 14x - 9 = 552 To solve for x, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=14x-9%3D552&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine [/URL]and we get: x = [B]40.07[/B]

Prove sqrt(2) is irrational
Use proof by contradiction. Assume sqrt(2) is rational. This means that sqrt(2) = p/q for some integers p and q, with q <>0. We assume p and q are in lowest terms. Square both side and we get: 2 = p^2/q^2 p^2 = 2q^2 This means p^2 must be an even number which means p is also even since the square of an odd number is odd. So we have p = 2k for some integer k. From this, it follows that: 2q^2 = p^2 = (2k)^2 = 4k^2 2q^2 = 4k^2 q^2 = 2k^2 q^2 is also even, therefore q must be even. So both p and q are even. This contradicts are assumption that p and q were in lowest terms. So sqrt(2) [B]cannot be rational. [MEDIA=youtube]tXoo9-8Ewq8[/MEDIA][/B]
