Answer:
B) irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number.
The premise that c is rational is false
Step-by-step explanation:
The assumption that c is rational means that the difference c-a must be rational. That difference is b, so b=c-a would mean that b must be rational. But b is defined to be irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number, a contradiction arises and the assumption that c is rational must be false. Therefore the sum (c) must be irrational. (B)
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
(4+8)+6 = (6+4)+n
18 = 10+n
18-10 = n
n = 8
Answer:
The correct answer is option D: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
log(y)= 3.994
Solution:
A logarithm base b of a positive number x satisfies the following definition:

For 
Also if no base b is indicated, the base of the logarithm is assumed to be 10
.
Thus, in log(y)= 3.994 base b is not indicated. so its base is assumed to be 10
now

Then

Answer:
C. x² − 8x + 24 − 72/(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
See attached picture for long division method.
Logically, we know x³ − 5x² factors to x² (x − 5). Since x + 3 isn't a factor, we know the remainder isn't 0. So we can narrow the options down to A or C.
One way to find the remainder is through long division. Or, since this is multiple choice, we multiply the options by x + 3 and see which one results in an answer of x³ − 5x².
(x + 3) (x² − 8x + 24 − 72/(x+3))
(x + 3) (x² − 8x + 24) − 72
x³ − 8x² + 24x + 3x² − 24x + 72 − 72
x³ − 5x²
