First we can solve for y by factoring it out: y(x+1)+x=30, so y=(30-x)/(x+1)= -1+31/(x+1). Let's start by assuming x and y are positive integers and look for a logical contradiction. Since y is positive, the right side (30-x)/(x+1) must be positive. Since x (and therefore x+1) is positive, 30-x must be positive. Therefore x is less than 31. But hold on! Since y is an integer, y+1=31/(x+1) is an integer. Since 31 is only divisible by 1 and 31, y+1 is an integer implies that (x+1) is 1 or 31, making x either 0 or 30. However, x is positive and less 30, which is impossible! There it cannot be the case that x and y are both positive integers.
AnswerIt's not as complicated as that. Just add 1 to both sides and factorise, and you get: (x+1)(y+1) = 31. Since 31 is prime, one of its factors must be either 1 or -1. So we'd get x+1=1 (so x=0) or else x+1=-1 (so x=-2), or else y=0 or y=-2. But the question says x and y have to be positive.SAS
If x is a null matrix then Ax = Bx for any matrices A and B including when A not equal to B. So the proposition in the question is false and therefore cannot be proven.
A - B is null.=> there are no elements in A - B.=> there are no elements such that they are in A but not in B.=> any element in A is in B.=> A is a subset of B.
To prove a number ab is rational, you have to find two integers t and n such that t/n = ab.Since we know that a, and b are rational, they can be expressed as follows:a = p1/q1b = p2/q2then ab = p1p2/q1q2Since p1, p2, q1, and q2 are all integers, p1p2 is an integer, and q1q2 is an integer. This gives us the t, and n we are looking for. t = p1p2 and n = q1q2, and ab = t/n, so ab is rational.
You can't, because it isn't. The square root of 2 is irrational, but that doesn't make it transcendental. The square root of any positive integer is ALGEBRAIC - and transcendental means "not algebraic".In this case, the square root of 2 is a root of the polynomial equation x squared - 2 = 0; therefore it is algebraic.
Mathematical induction is just a way of proving a statement to be true for all positive integers: prove the statement to be true about 1; then assume it to be true for a generic integer x, and prove it to be true for x + 1; it therefore must be true for all positive integers.
The statement is not true. Disprove by counter-example: 3 is an integer and 5 is an integer, their product is 15 which is odd.
Yes. The square root of a positive integer can ONLY be either:* An integer (in this case, it isn't), OR * An irrational number. The proof is basically the same as the proof used in high school algebra, to prove that the square root of 2 is irrational.
Cannot prove that 2 divided by 10 equals 2 because it is not true.
You can't it equals 2. You can't it equals 2.
No you can not prove that 9 +10 = 21.
Yes. 0 is an integer and all integers are real numbers.
You can prove that 2K,2K,1-1 by first determining that the integer N can be written in the form of N=2K.
They are! Consider the identity map from Z to Q. They are not isomorphic, but there is a homomorphism between them.
If you mean how can you prove that the drug test results were false, ask for a retest.
No, but there is a way to prove that zero equals one.
Using faulty logic.
