a student wrote a proof about the product of two rational numbers:
Let x = a/b and let y = c/d, where a and c are defined to be integers, and b and d are nonzero integers.
By substitution, xy = ac/bd.
By applying the closure property of integers and nonzero integers on multiplication, ac is an integer and bd is a nonzero integer.
What conclusion can the student now make about the product xy?
A- the product xy is a nonzero Integer because nonzero Integers are closed on division.
B- the product xy cannot be an integer because bd is a nonzero Integer.
C- the product xy may be elther rational or Irrational because the values of a, b, c, and d are unknown.
D- the product ry is rational because it can be written as the quotient of an Integer and a nonzero Integer.​

Answers

Answer 1
pretty sure that the answer is D
Answer 2

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of integers.

The conclusion the student can make about product xy is that:

D- the product ry is rational because it can be written as the quotient of an Integer and a nonzero Integer.​

Given that:

[tex]x = \frac ab[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac cd[/tex]

The product xy is:

[tex]x \times y = \frac ab \times \frac cd[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]x \times y = \frac{ac}{bd}[/tex]

From the question, we understand that:

[tex]Integers \to a, c[/tex]

This means that, ac would be an integer (by closure property)

Also:

[tex]Non\ zero \to b,d[/tex]

This means that, bd would be non-zero i.e. [tex]bd \ne 0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]x \times y = \frac{ac}{bd}[/tex]

[tex]x \times y = \frac{Integer}{Non\ zero}[/tex]

The quotient of an integer and a non-zero integer is always be rational.

Hence, option (d) is correct.

Question 11:

[tex]\angle DAC = 53^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\angle AED = 90^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADC = 74[/tex]

[tex]DB = 16[/tex]

[tex]AE = 6.03[/tex]

[tex]AC = 12.06[/tex]

Question 12:

[tex]\triangle ABD[/tex], [tex]\triangle BAC[/tex], [tex]\triangle CDA[/tex] and [tex]\triangle DAB[/tex]

Question 13:

AC and BD are perpendicular lines, and they are diagonals

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 11

Given

[tex]\angle BAC = 53^\circ[/tex]

[tex]DE = 8[/tex]

See attachment for Rhombus

Required

Determine the indicated sides

Solving (a): [tex]\angle DAC[/tex]

Diagonal CA divides [tex]\angle DAB[/tex] into 2 equal angles

i.e

[tex]\angle DAC = \angle BAC[/tex]

So:

[tex]\angle DAC = 53^\circ[/tex]

Solving (b): [tex]\angle AED[/tex]

The angles at E is 90 degrees because diagonals AC and BD meet at a perpendicular.

So:

[tex]\angle AED = 90^\circ[/tex]

Solving (c): [tex]\angle ADC[/tex]

First, we calculate [tex]\angle ADE[/tex], considering [tex]\triangle ADE[/tex]:

[tex]\angle ADE + \angle AED + \angle DAC = 180[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADE + 90 + 53 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADE + 143 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADE = -143 + 180[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADE = 37[/tex]

To calculate [tex]\angle ADC[/tex], we have:

[tex]\angle ADC = 2*\angle ADE[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADC = 2* 37[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADC = 74[/tex]

Solving (d): [tex]DB[/tex]

From the rhombus

[tex]DB = DE +EB[/tex]

Where

[tex]DE =EB[/tex]

So:

[tex]DB = 8 + 8[/tex]

[tex]DB = 16[/tex]

Solving (e): [tex]AE[/tex]

To do this we consider [tex]\triangle ADE[/tex]

Using the tan formula

[tex]tan(\angle ADE) = \frac{AE}{DE}[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADE = 37[/tex] and [tex]DE = 8[/tex]

So:

[tex]\tan(37) = \frac{AE}{8}[/tex]

[tex]AE = 8 * \tan(37)[/tex]

[tex]AE = 6.03[/tex]

Solving (f): [tex]AC[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]AC = AE + EC[/tex]

Where

[tex]AE = EC[/tex]

[tex]AC = 6.03 +6.03[/tex]

[tex]AC = 12.06[/tex]

Question 12: Isosceles Triangle

In the rhombus, all 4 sides are equal;

So, the isosceles triangle are:

[tex]\triangle ABD[/tex], [tex]\triangle BAC[/tex], [tex]\triangle CDA[/tex] and [tex]\triangle DAB[/tex]

The sets of side lengths that can produce a triangle are

2 cm, 7 cm, and 6 cm2 m, 5 m, and 7 m6 ft, 6 ft, and 12 ft

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than or equal to the third side.

That is, in a given triangle of sides a, b and c,

a + b ≥ c

Analysing the sets of the side lengths given,

In triangle 2 cm, 7 cm, and 6 cm,

2 + 6 = 8,

Therefore 8cm which is greater than the third side being 7cm makes this side lengths possible to produce a triangle.

In triangle 2 m, 5 m, and 7 m,

2 + 5 = 7

Addition of both sides of the triangle is equal to the third side being 7m.

In triangle 6 ft, 6 ft, and 12 ft,

6 + 6 = 12

Addition of both sides of the triangle is equal to the third side being 12ft

They decide that the letter y can be a vowel or a consonant. Which statement best explains whether or not the game is fair?

A. The game is not fair because the probability of Hank drawing a winning letter is less than the probability of Rosa drawing a winning letter.

B. The game is fair because Hank and Rosa have the same probability of drawing a winning letter.

What is probability?

'Probability is defined as the possibility of an event to happen is equal to the ratio of the number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.'

According to the given problem,

There are 8 consonants (not including y) and only 6 vowels (not including y), so Rosa has a higher probability of winning.
