The length, in millimeters of each side of a square shaped electronic chip is a rational number. What statement is true about the length of the diagonal of the chip

The diagonal is irrational because it is a product of a rational and an irrational number

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not given. However, the question is still answerable.

Given

Shape: Square

Length: Rational

Since the side length is said to be rational, I'll answer the question based on whether the diagonal is rational or not.

Having said that:

The diagonal (d) of a square with side length (l) is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

Take positive square root of both sides

Split:

Recall that the side length (l) is rational.

However, is irrational.

So, the product of l and will be irrational

Hence:

The diagonal is irrational

answer is c

step-by-step explanation:

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
