You can find counterexamples to disprove this claim. We have positive integers that are perfect square numbers; when we take the square root of those numbers, we get an integer.
For example, the square root of 1 is 1, which is an integer. So if y = 1, then the denominator becomes an integer and thus we get a quotient of two integers (since x is also defined to be an integer), the definition of a rational number.
Example: x = 2, y = 1 ends up with which is rational. This goes against the claim that
is always irrational for positive integers x and y.
Any integer y that is a perfect square will work to disprove this claim, e.g. y = 1, y = 4, y= 9, y = 16. So it is not always irrational.
Answer:
The area of the shaded region is about 58.9 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, let's recall some facts.
We know that the area of a circle can be defined as the following:
where r is the radius of the circle.
We too know that circles have a diameter and a radius. The diameter of a circle is the distance a line that connects two points on a circle with its center, and the radius is half of the diameter.
We also know that figures can touch each other, or be in tangent with each other. For the sake of simplicity, we're going to assume that the shaded circles are in tangent with each other, or touch each other. Because they touch each other, these three circles can share 5 in. of the 15 in. rectangle. This means that the circles are 5 in. in diameter, or 2.5 in in radius.
Now, we can solve the problem.
Because we have 3 circles, each with 2.5 in. radii, we can have the following expression which represents the total area of these circles:
After approximation, I can conclude that the area of the shaded region is 58.9 square inches.
