Answer:

Rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

\textbf{A rational number is a real number that can be expressed as}~ \dfrac{p}{q},\\\\\textbf{where}~ p~ \textbf{and}~ q~ \textbf{are integers.}\\\\ \boxed{50.2 = \dfrac{502}{10}}\\\\ \textbf{50.2 can be expressed as a ratio of two integers,}~ \textbf{so it is a rational number.}

A scientist has discovered an organism that replicates at a rate of five per hour and lives for one week. Each replicated organi
Assoli18 [71]
At hour one, there is 1 organism. At hour two, there is five more organism. At hour three. there will be 6 x 5 = 30 more organisms, etc

This is a geometric sequence with a = 1 (i.e. number of organisms at hour one), r = 5 (number of reprications per hour).

The total number of organisms at hour seven is the sum of the first seven terms of the sequence given by a(r^n - 1)/(r - 1) = 1(5^7 - 1)/(5 - 1) = (78125 - 1)/4 = 78124/4 = 19,531

A flagpole casts a showdown 15 feet long the 6 foot tall man casts a shadow 4 feet long how tall is the flag pole
Neko [114]
Set it up as a ratio:
mans shadow over mans height (4/6 ) equals flag pole shadow over flag pole height (15/x)

set them to equal each other:

4/6 = 15/x

cross multiply: 4*x =4x, 15*6 = 90

so you have 4x = 90

now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which is the height of the flag pole:

x = 90 / 4 = 22.5 feet tall

Factor this trinomial 4x^2-6x-10 If you can please try to show me how to do it.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

=2(2x-5)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the trinomial:

4x^2-6x-10

First, factor out a 2:

=2(2x^2-3x-5)

Now, factor within the parentheses.

To do so, we want to find two numbers. When multiplied, these two numbers must equal (a)(c) and when added, they must equal b

(a)(c) is 2(-5) or -10 and b is -3. So, we want two numbers that when multiplied together gives -10 and when added gives -3.

-5 and 2 works. Therefore:

=2(2x^2-3x-5)

Replace -3x with 2x and -5x:

=2(2x^2+2x-5x-5)

Factor out a 2x for the first two terms. And factor out a negative 5 for the remaining two:

=2(2x(x+1)-5(x+1))

Grouping:

=2(2x-5)(x+1)

And we're done!

The coordinates of S are (5,4). What are the coordinates of S' after the figure is rotated 90 degrees about the origin? A.)?(-5,
Murrr4er [49]
The general rule for 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin is given by:
(x,y)→(-y,x)
thus given that S has coordinates of (5,4), then rotation through 90° will map the the figure on S'(-4,5). Hence the answer is:
C](-4,5)
