Let 3+√2 is an rational number.. such that
3+√2 = a/b ,where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero ..
therefore,
3 + √2 = a/b
√2 = a/b -3
√2 = (3b-a) /b
therefore, √2 = (3b - a)/b is rational as a, b and 3 are integers..
It means that √2 is rational....
But this contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational..
So, it concludes that 3+√2 is irrational..
hence proved.

If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle intersecting the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
<a id="proof" name="Proof"></a>
Basic Proportionality Theorem Proof
Let us now try to prove the basic proportionality theorem statement
Consider a triangle ΔABC, as shown in the given figure. In this triangle, we draw a line PQ parallel to the side BC of ΔABC and intersecting the sides AB and AC in P and Q, respectively.

According to the basic proportionality theorem as stated above, we need to prove:
AP/PB = AQ/QC
Construction
Join the vertex B of ΔABC to Q and the vertex C to P to form the lines BQ and CP and then drop a perpendicular QN to the side AB and also draw PM⊥AC as shown in the given figure.

Proof
Now the area of ∆APQ = 1/2 × AP × QN (Since, area of a triangle= 1/2× Base × Height)
Similarly, area of ∆PBQ= 1/2 × PB × QN
area of ∆APQ = 1/2 × AQ × PM
Also,area of ∆QCP = 1/2 × QC × PM ………… (1)
Now, if we find the ratio of the area of triangles ∆APQand ∆PBQ, we have
area of ΔAPQarea of ΔPBQ = 12 × AP × QN12 × PB × QN = APPB
Similarly, area of ΔAPQarea of ΔQCP = 12 × AQ × PM12 × QC × PM = AQQC ………..(2)
According to the property of triangles, the triangles drawn between the same parallel lines and on the same base have equal areas.
Therefore, we can say that ∆PBQ and QCP have the same area.
area of ∆PBQ = area of ∆QCP …………..(3)
Therefore, from the equations (1), (2) and (3) we can say that,
AP/PB = AQ/QC
Also, ∆ABC and ∆APQ fulfil the conditions for similar triangles, as stated above. Thus, we can say that ∆ABC ~∆APQ.
The MidPoint theorem is a special case of the basic proportionality theorem.
According to mid-point theorem, a line drawn joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.
Consider an ∆ABC.

Conclusion
We arrive at the following conclusions from the above theorem:
If P and Q are the mid-points of AB and AC, then PQ || BC. We can state this mathematically as follows:
If P and Q are points on AB and AC such that AP = PB = 1/2 (AB) and AQ = QC = 1/2 (AC), then PQ || BC.
Also, the converse of mid-point theorem is also true which states that the line drawn through the mid-point of a side of a triangle which is parallel to another side, bisects the third side of the triangle.
Hence, the basic proportionality theorem is proved.

Given: Triangle ABC and ∆PQR in which AD and PM are medians drawn on sides BC and QR respectively. It is given that

To Prove : ∆ABC ~ ∆PQR
Const : Produce AD to E such that AD = DE and PM to F such that PM = MF.

Proof : In ∆ABD and ∆CDE,
AD = DE [by construction]
∠ADB = ∠CDE
[vertically opposite angles]
and BD = DC [AD is a median]
Therefore, by using SAS congruent condition

[by CPCT]
Similarly, we can prove

[by CPCT]
It is given that:



Therefore, by using SSS congruent condition

...(i)
Similarly,
...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠1 + ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4
∠A = ∠P
Now, in ∆ABC and ∆PQR

and 
Therefore, by using SAS similar condition
∆ABC ~ ∆PQR Hence Proved.

We know that circumference of a circle = 2π r.
We know that diameter = 2r.
Given circumference of a circle exceeds diameter by 16.8cm.
2πr - 2r = 16.8
2r(π - 1) = 16.8
2r(22/7 - 1) = 16.8
2r(22 - 7/7) = 16.8
2r(15/7) = 16.8
30r = 16.8 * 7
30r = 117.6
r = 117.6/30
r = 3.92 cm.
Therefore the radius of the circle = 3.92cm.

Let given cubic polynomial be
p(x) = 3x³ - 5x² - 11x - 3
i ) If x = 3 , then
p(3) = 3(3)³ - 5(3)² - 11(3) - 3
= 81 - 45 - 33 - 3
= 81 - 81
= 0
ii ) If x = -1 , then
p(-1) = 3(-1)³ - 5(-1)² - 11(-1) - 3
= -3 - 5 + 11 - 3
= -11 + 11
= 0
iii ) If x = -1/3 , then
p(-1/3) = 3(-1/3)³ - 5(-1/3)² - 11(-1/3) - 3
= -3/27 - 5/9 + 11/3 - 3
= -1/9 - 5/9 + 11/3 - 3
= ( -1 - 5 + 33 - 27 )/9
= ( -33 + 33 )/9
= 0
Therefore ,
p(3) = p(-1) = p(-1/3) = 0 .
So, 3 , -1 , -1/3 are zeroes of given
cubic polynomial 3x³ - 5x² - 11x - 3 .
Compare the coefficients of given
cubic polynomial 3x³ - 5x² - 11x - 3
with ax³ + bx² + cx + d , we get
a = 3 , b = -5 , c = -11 , d = -3
Let the zeroes of the given cubic
polynomial p(x) are p =3 , q=-1, r=-1/3
Now ,
p+q+r = 3 - 1 - 1/3
= 2 - 1/3
= ( 6 - 1 )/3
= 5/3
= -b/a
pq+qr+rp
= 3(-1)+(-1)(-1/3)+(-1/3)(3)
= -3 + 1/3 - 1
= -4 + 1/3
= ( -12 + 1 )/3
= -11/3
= c/a
pqr = 3 × ( -1 ) × ( -1/3 )
= 1
=- d/a

class freq total
0-6 10 3 * 10
6-12 p 9 * p
12-18 4 4 * 15
18-24 7 7 * 21
24-30 q 27 * q
30-36 4 4 * 33
36-42 1 1 * 39
=====================
total 40 408 + 9p + 27 q
============================
total of frequencies = 26 + p + q = 40 => p+q = 14
sum = 408 + 9 p + 27 q = 14.7 * 40 = 588
So finally, 9 p + 27 q = 180 => p + 3 q = 20
=> 14- q + 3 q = 20 => q = 3 and p = 11 .
