what does a irrational number look like

Answers

Answer 1

A irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers. That's it.

For examples (in increasing order of difficulty)

1 is a rational number because it is 1/1

0.75 is a rational number because it is equal to 3/4

2.333... (infinite number of digits, all equal to three) is rational because it is equal to 7/3.

sqrt(2) is not a rational number. This is not completely trivial to show but there are some relatively simple proofs of this fact. It's been known since the greek.

pi is irrational. This is much more complicated and is a result from 19th century.

As you see, there is absolutely no mention of the digits in the definition or in the proofs I presented.

Now the result that you probably hear about and wanted to remember (slightly incorrectly) is that a number is rational if and only if its decimal expansion is eventually periodic. What does it mean ?

Take, 5/700 and write it in decimal expansion. It is 0.0057142857142857.. As you can see the pattern "571428" is repeating in the the digits. That's what it means to have an eventually periodic decimal expansion. The length of the pattern can be anything, but as long as there is a repeating pattern, the number is rational and vice versa.

As a consequence, sqrt(2) does not have a periodic decimal expansion. So it has an infinite number of digits but moreover, the digits do not form any easy repeating pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 7 =9

2/9 = x/108

108 ÷ 9 = 12

12 × 2 =24

24 pink

7/9 = x/108

108÷9 = 12

Answers

Answer:

height of b = 280

Step-by-step explanation:

candle b has a height of 280 - 5t, when it comes out of the mold then t=0 so the initial height of b is 280

candle b's height drops by 5 every hour (that's what the -5t part means)

candle a started at 216 and dropped to 192 in 3 hours, so it dropped by 24 in 3 hours so it drops 8 each hour

so candle b starts out taller (280 v. 216) and candle b burns slower (a at 8 per hour and b at 5 per hour), so b will never 'catch up' with a... candle a will be burned out while candle b is still burning

What is function?

A function is a relation between a dependent and independent variable. We can write the examples of functions as -

y = f(x) = ax + b

y = f(x, y, z) = ax + by + cz

Given is the expression as -

5 = h/1.25

We can solve for the value of {h} as -

5 = h/1.25

{h} = 5 x 1.25

{h} = 5 x 125/100

{h} = 125/20

{h} = 6.25

Therefore, on solving for the value of {h}, we get -

{h} = 6.25.

To find:

Where the student made any errors?

Solution:

We have,

[tex]-5v>55[/tex]

On dividing both sides -5 change the sign of equality because -5 is a negative number.

[tex]\dfrac{-5v}{-5}<\dfrac{55}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]v<-11[/tex]

Therefore, the solution of given inequality is [tex]v<-11[/tex].

Write an equation of the parabola in intercept form that passes through (-2, 0.05) with x-intercepts of -7 and -3

Answers

Important things you need to know:

1. x intercept = solution of the equation

2. parabola = the highest power is x²

3. "passes through" is important because you have the y intercept (it is the c in ax² + bx + c = 0)

The intercept form is y = a(x-r)(x-s), where r and s are the x intercepts (solutions) of the graph

Substitite the numbers and values you know:

y = a(x-r)(x-s)

0.05 = a(-2-(-7)) × (-2-(-3))

Then you should find a.

Rewrite the equation in the form of y = a ( x+7 )( x+3 ) where the value of a is found.



Which number line shows all the values of that make the inequality -3 +1 < 7 true?

Answers

Answer:

Number line D is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]-3x + 1 < 7[/tex]

See attachment for number lines

Required

Which number line makes the inequality true

First, we solve for x in [tex]-3x + 1 < 7[/tex]

[tex]-3x < 7 - 1[/tex]

[tex]-3x < 6[/tex]

Divide through by -3

[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3} < \frac{6}{-3}[/tex]

[tex]x > -2[/tex]

The inequality means x is greater than -2.

This means that, the line must point to the right of -2 and the "greater than" means that the circle must be opened

Number line D is true

I believe
y (theta) = 3 sin t
and
a(theta) = 3 cos t
but that might be wrong because I'm so confused. Please Please help!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

sintheta=y/3"

theta=sin-¹(y/3")

cos theta=a/3"

theta=cos-1(a/3)

sin beta=y/7"

beta=sin-¹(y/7")

b=√{y²+7" ²}

sorry last one I don't know

Answer:

sinθ = y/3                        ⇒ y(θ) = 3 sinθcosθ = a/3                       ⇒ a(θ) = 3 cosθsin β = y/7 = 3 sinθ / 7    ⇒ β(θ) = arcsin (3/7sinθ)b(θ) = √(7²-y²) = √(49-9sin²θ)p(θ) = a(θ) + b(θ) = 3 cosθ + √(49-9sin²θ)

The graph is attached

---------------------------------------

p.s.

b(θ) can be put in different way:

cos β = b/7 ⇒ b(θ) = 7 cos β = 7cos(arcsin(3/7sinθ))

Then

p(θ) = a(θ) + b(θ) = 3 cosθ + 7cos(arcsin(3/7sinθ))

This doesn't change the function or the graph
