Answer:

There could be many answers to this problem, one being the √(24 x 5 - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational numbers are classified as real numbers that are non-terminating and non-repeating decimals.  This means that the number will be a decimal that never ends and does not contain a pattern of any kind.  For example, a decimal that never ends is usually written as: 5.6789234...  This type of number is irrational because the decimal keeps going and shows no pattern of repetition. In the answer given, the value of (24 x 5 -8) is 112.  The square root of 112 is not a perfect square and thus you will get a non-terminating and non-repeated decimal as the final answer, thus making it irrational.

When doctors prescribe medicine, they must consider how the drug’s effectiveness declines as time passes. If each hour a drug is
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<u>The total time for the initial dose of 500 mg to reach a level of 150 mg is approximately 11 hours and 27 minutes </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial dose = 500 mg

Let's calculate the effectiveness of the drug hour by hour, this way:

After 1 hour: 90% of 500 = 450 mg

After 2 hours: 90% of 450 = 405 mg

After 3 hours: 90% of 405 = 364.5 mg

After 4 hours: 90% of 364.5 = 328.05 mg

After 5 hours: 90% of 328.05 = 295.25 mg

After 6 hours: 90% of 295.25 = 265.73 mg

After 7 hours: 90% of 265.73 = 239.16 mg

After 8 hours: 90% of 239.16 = 215.24 mg

After 9 hours: 90% of 215.24 = 193.72 mg

After 10 hours: 90% of 193.72 = 174.35 mg

After 11 hours: 90% of 174.35 = 156.92 mg

After 12 hours: 90% of 156.92 = 141.23 mg

Difference between 11 and 12 hours: 156.92 - 141.23 = 15.7 mg

Difference per minute between 11 and 12 hours: 15.7/60 = 0.262 mg

Time to reach a level of 150 mg in minutes after 11 hours = (156.92-150)/0.262

Time to reach a level of 150 mg in minutes after 11 hours = 26.4

<u>The total time for the initial dose of 500 mg to reach a level of 150 mg is approximately 11 hours and 27 minutes </u>

Why can't irrational numbers be whole numbers
meriva
Irrational numbers cannot be represented by a ratio of two integers.

All whole numbers, however, can. This can be done by placing the number over 1. For example 0/1, 34/1, 173635278/1.
