Is 8.888... a rational number?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Yes it's a rational number

=================================================

Explanation:

Since the decimal repeats itself infinitely (the 8s go on forever), this is one sign that we have a rational number.

Rational numbers always have some kind of infinitely repeating pattern when we convert them to decimal form.

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

Extra info (optional section)

If you want to determine what this number is equal to, then let's say that

x = 8.8888...

Multiplying both sides by 10 gets us

10x = 88.888....

Now we'll subtract the two equations

The 10x-x becomes 9x while the 88.8888...-8.8888... turns into 80

We're left with 9x = 80 which solves to x = 80/9

Therefore, 80/9 = 8.8888.... showing that we have a rational number

Any rational number is basically a fraction of two whole numbers.

Answer:

[tex]x=55[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles of two parallel lines are always equal. The angle on "top" of [tex]2x+6[/tex] corresponds with the angle marked as [tex]x+9[/tex]. Therefore, its measure must also be [tex]x+9[/tex].

Since these two angles form one side of a line which has 180 degrees, we have the following equation:

[tex]2x+6+x+9=180[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]3x+15=180[/tex]

Subtract 15 from both sides:

[tex]3x=165[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]x=\frac{165}{3}=\boxed{55}[/tex]

Answer:

4x² - 8x - 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Simplify ,

2x ( 2x + 6) -10(2x +6) 4x² + 12x - 20x -60 4x² -8x -60

Trinomial expression :-

4x² - 8x - 60

The polynomial function [tex](2x-10)(2x+6)[/tex] expressed as a trinomial is [tex]4x^2 - 8x - 60[/tex].

Given data:

The polynomial function is represented as A.

Now, the value of [tex]A=(2x-10)(2x+6)[/tex].

On simplifying the equation:

From distributive property to multiply the terms:

[tex]A=2x * 2x + 2x * 6 - 10 * 2x - 10 * 6[/tex]

[tex]A=4x^2 + 12x - 20x - 60[/tex]

y=3x²-4
y=-3x²-4
y=-3x²+4
y=3x²+4

Answers

Answer:

y = -3x^2 + 4

Look below for more information

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x^2 - 4

Everything is wrong about this answer. The slope is actually a negative and the y-intercept is suppose to be a positive

y = -3x^2 - 4

Only the y-intercept is wrong here because the graph is going 4 units up instead of 4 units down

y = -3x^2 + 4

This is the correct answer! The slole is negative and the y-intercept is a positive

y = 3x^2 + 4

The slope is wrong but the y-intercept is correct!

Therefore, our answer is the third option: y = -3x^2 + 4

Write an equation of a polynomial with the given characteristics: a quadratic function has x -intercepts of -3 and 1, and a y-intercept of (0,9).

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = -3(x+3)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -3 & 1; f(x) = 9

f(x) = a(x-r1)(x-r2)

f(0) = a(x-r1)(x-r2) = 9; 9 = a(0-(-3))(0-1)

9 = a(3)(-1); 9 = a(-3)

a = -3

f(x) = -3(x+3)(x-1)

Answer:

f(x) = -3x^2 - 6x + 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the x intercepts are - 3 and 1 we can write it as:

f(x) = a(x - 1)(x + 3)    where a is a constant to be found.

As the - intercept is at (0, 9),  x =0 when f(x) = 9 so we can also write:

a( 0 - 1)(0 + 3) = 9

(-1)(3)a = 9

a = 9 / -3

= -3.

So the equation is f(x) = -3(x - 1)(x + 3)

In expanded form it is

-3(x^2 + 2x - 3)

= -3x^2 - 6x + 9.

Answer:

  a) 30.7 million

  b) 1.5% per year

  c) 42.0 million

  d) 2017

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The initial population is P(0) = 30.7 (million). The exponential term is 1 when t=0, so this number is the multiplier of the exponential term.

__

b) The growth factor is the base of the exponential term: 1.015. The growth rate is the difference between this and 1: 1.015 -1 = 0.015 = 1.5%.

The population is growing by 1.5% per year.

__

c) Fill in the value and do the arithmetic. t=2021 -2000 = 21.

  P(21) = 30.7·1.015^21 ≈ 41.968 ≈ 42.0

The population in Canada in 2021 is predicted to be 42.0 million.

__

d) For this we need to solve for t when P(t) = 40.

  40 = 30.7·1.015^t

  40/30.7 = 1.015^t

Taking logarithms gives ...

  log(40/30.7) = t·log(1.015)

  t = log(40/30.7)/log(1.015) ≈ 17.773

In 2017, the population is predicted to be less than 40 million; in 2018, it is predicted to be more than 40 million. Canada should anticipate hitting 40 million people in 2017.

If 40% of a number is equal to two-third of another number, what is the ratio of the first number to the second number.?

Answers

Answer:

5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

40% = 2/5

If the numbers are x and y, then

2/5 x = 2/3 y

Divide both sides by 2/5

x  = (2/3 * 5/2)y

x = 10/6 y

x = 5/3  y

So the required ratio is 5 : 3.

Checking this result:

10% of 5 = 2

2/3 of 3 = 2 also.
