Why the number3.456456... is irrationnal

Mathematics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]1 year ago
8 0

The number 3.456456 is a rational number, as the decimal digits of the number follow the 456 pattern.

<h3>What are rational numbers?</h3>

Rational numbers are the whole numbers plus decimals that can be represented by fractions, involving both positive and negative numbers.

Among examples of rational numbers, we have that:

  • Terminating decimals.
  • Non-terminating decimals in which the decimal digits follow a pattern.

The number used in this problem is given as follows:

3.456456...

Which is a rational number, because the decimal pattern is:

456.

Meaning that the sequence 456 repeats infinitely on the decimal digits.

Now, the number would be irrational if a different digit appeared on the pattern, for example:

3.4567456456...

During last year the number of students in RSM increased by 100%. This year, the number of students increased by 150%. What perc
irina [24]

Answer:20%


Step-by-step explanation:so we start with x as the year before. then we get 2x from 100%. this year it would be 2x times 150% which is equal to 3x added to the year before. That would be 5x. 5x compared to x people would think is 500% but it is switched the other way to 20%.

The concentration of hexane (a common solvent) was measured in units of micrograms per liter for a simple random sample of sixte
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Yes, it can be concluded that the mean hexane concentration is less in treated water than in unsaturated water

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of of specimen in the samples of untreated water, n₁ = 16

The sample mean, \overline x_1 = 228.0

The sample standard deviation, s₁ = 4.3

The number of of specimen in the samples of treated water, n₂ = 20

The sample mean, \overline x_2 = 224.6

The sample standard deviation, s₂ = 5.0

The level of significance = 0.10

The null hypothesis, H₀; \overline x_1 ≥ \overline x_2

The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ;  \overline x_1 < \overline x_2

The degrees of freedom = 16 - 1 = 15

The test statistic, t_{\alpha} = 1.341

t=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{\dfrac{s_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{s _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}

Plugging in the values, we get;

t=\dfrac{(224.6- 228.0)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{5.0^{2}}{20} -\dfrac{4.3^{2} }{16}}} \approx -11.0675

Given that the t-value is large, the corresponding p-value is low, therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and there is considerable statistical evidence to suggest that the mean hexane concentration is less in treated than in untreated water, therefore, we have; \overline x_1 ≥ \overline x_2

Find the Taylor series for f(x) centered at the given value of a. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do not show that
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The Taylor series is \ln(x) = \ln 3 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{(x-3)^n}{3^n n}.

The radius of convergence is R=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The Taylor expansion.</em>

Recall that as we want the Taylor series centered at a=3 its expression is given in powers of (x-3). With this in mind we need to do some transformations with the goal to obtain the asked Taylor series from the Taylor expansion of \ln(1+x).

Then,

\ln(x) = \ln(x-3+3) = \ln(3(\frac{x-3}{3} + 1 )) = \ln 3 + \ln(1 + \frac{x-3}{3}).

Now, in order to make a more compact notation write \frac{x-3}{3}=y. Thus, the above expression becomes

\ln(x) = \ln 3 + \ln(1+y).

Notice that, if x is very close from 3, then y is very close from 0. Then, we can use the Taylor expansion of the logarithm. Hence,  

\ln(x) = \ln 3 + \ln(1+y) = \ln 3 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{y^n}{n}.

Now, substitute \frac{x-3}{3}=y in the previous equality. Thus,

\ln(x) = \ln 3 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{(x-3)^n}{3^n n}.

<em>Radius of convergence.</em>

We find the radius of convergence with the Cauchy-Hadamard formula:

R^{-1} = \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \sqrt[n]{|a_n|},

Where a_n stands for the coefficients of the Taylor series and R for the radius of convergence.

In this case the coefficients of the Taylor series are

a_n = \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{ n3^n}

and in consequence |a_n| = \frac{1}{3^nn}. Then,

\sqrt[n]{|a_n|} = \sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{3^nn}}

Applying the properties of roots

\sqrt[n]{|a_n|} = \frac{1}{3\sqrt[n]{n}}.

Hence,

R^{-1} = \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{1}{3\sqrt[n]{n}} =\frac{1}{3}

Recall that

\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \sqrt[n]{n}=1.

So, as R^{-1}=\frac{1}{3} we get that R=3.
