OpenStudy (anonymous):

D is correct, i think, im leaning towards C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking...

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that option B is equivalent to option C, furthermore option A is equivalent to option D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that the subsequent sum: \[\Large \pi + e\] is not a rational number. Here, \(\large e\) is the base of natural logarithms, namely it is an irrational number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you agreeing on D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It has to be false

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! and I have made an error, since option A is not equivalent to option D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so D right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that option D. is false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks so much again

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
