David wants to buy a new tablet computer. He looks at a sales ad and sees the computer stores selling a tablet computer for $499 which is one half off the regular price. Part A: write an equation that represents the situation. Let x = the original cost of the tablet.

Part B: find the original cost of the tablet computer.

If c(x) = 4x – 2 and d(x) = x2 + 5x, what is (cxd)(x)

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
