The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the correct statement, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 The first option states a mathematical expression involving square roots and rationalization. 1. **Expression**: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{\sqrt{3} - 1} + \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{\sqrt{3} + 1} + \frac{\sqrt{3} - 2}{\sqrt{3} + 2} \] 2. **Rationalize** the first term: \[ \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1)(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3} - 1)(\sqrt{3} + 1)} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1)^2}{3 - 1} = \frac{3 + 2\sqrt{3} + 1}{2} = \frac{4 + 2\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2 + \sqrt{3} \] 3. **Rationalize** the second term: \[ \frac{(\sqrt{3} - 1)(\sqrt{3} - 1)}{(\sqrt{3} + 1)(\sqrt{3} - 1)} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} - 1)^2}{2} = \frac{3 - 2\sqrt{3} + 1}{2} = \frac{4 - 2\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2 - \sqrt{3} \] 4. **Rationalize** the third term: \[ \frac{(\sqrt{3} - 2)(\sqrt{3} - 2)}{(\sqrt{3} + 2)(\sqrt{3} - 2)} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} - 2)^2}{3 - 4} = -(\sqrt{3} - 2)^2 = -(\sqrt{3}^2 - 4\sqrt{3} + 4) = -(-1 + 4\sqrt{3} - 4) = 4 - 4\sqrt{3} \] 5. **Combine all terms**: \[ (2 + \sqrt{3}) + (2 - \sqrt{3}) + (4 - 4\sqrt{3}) = 4 + 4 - 4\sqrt{3} = 8 - 4\sqrt{3} \] This does not equal \( \frac{39}{x} \) as stated. Therefore, **Option 1 is incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 The second option states that "Every integer is a whole number." - **Definition**: Whole numbers include 0 and all positive integers (1, 2, 3,...). Integers include negative numbers as well (-1, -2, -3,...). - **Conclusion**: Since integers can be negative, not every integer is a whole number. Thus, **Option 2 is incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 The third option states that "Between two rational numbers, there exists an infinite number of integers." - **Example**: Consider two rational numbers, say 1 and 2. The integers between them are just 1 and 2, which are finite. - **Conclusion**: Therefore, there cannot be an infinite number of integers between two rational numbers. Hence, **Option 3 is incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 The fourth option states "None of these are correct." - Since all previous options (1, 2, and 3) have been shown to be incorrect, **Option 4 must be correct**. ### Final Conclusion The correct statement is **Option 4: None of these are correct**. ---
