So 0.16 is also equal to 16/100 so, just draw 100 squares and shade 16 of em'
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.
Answer:
y=2x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
In line equations its helpful to write your line in the form y = ax + b. This helps because a is always the gadient of the line and b is always the y intercept.
In this case it is y=2x+3
All parallel lines have the same gradient. The gradient of this line = 2.
If the line crosses the x axis at x=-5, then when x =-5 y = 0.
If you put all this in the form y =ax + b you get 0 = 2(-5) +b
So all you need to do to find b is rearrange. b = 10.
Therefore your line has gradient 2 and y intercept 10.
y = 2x + 10
N^2 = 24 + 2n
n^2 - 2n - 24 = 0
(n-6)(n+4) = 0
n = 6 , n = - 4
Answer: inertia
Step-by-step explanation:
Inertia is the resistance posed by any physical object to any change which may occur to its velocity. This changes includes the object's speed, direction of motion e.t.c. An important part of this property is the posibility of the objects to continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces has acted upon them.
