The best way to answer this is to find counterarguments for each answer to eliminate them as a possibility. ab doesn't have to be an integer, 2.5*3=7.5 . That's also not an imaginary number so that's out. And that's also not an irrational number so that's out too. Only choice left is rational number.

By definition, a rational number can be expressed as a fraction with integer values in the numerator and denominator (denominator not zero). So, multiplying two rationals is the same as multiplying two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under multiplication. Thus, multiplying two rational numbers produces another rational number. 

So in this case your answer would be A. 

Hope I helped!!!

Answer:

  • k = -4 ± 2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

#22

<h3>Given </h3>
  • Equation x² -4x + 1 = k(x - 4) with equal roots
<h3>To find</h3>
  • The value of k
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>The equation in standard form is:</u>

  • x² -4x + 1 = k(x - 4)
  • x² - 4x - kx + 1 + 4 = 0
  • x² - (k + 4)x + 5 = 0

<u>When the quadratic equation has equal roots its discriminant is zero</u>

  • D = 0
  • b² - 4ac = 0
  • (k + 4)² - 4*5 = 0
  • (k + 4)² = 20
  • k + 4 = ± √20
  • k = - 4 ± √20
  • or
  • k = -4 ± 2√5

In the NBA, any shot made from 22 feet or more from the basket is worth 3 points. How many yards from the basket is that?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

22/3 yards, roughly 7.33 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there is 3 feet in 1 yard.

Given 22 feet, we divide by 3 to find the amount of yards, thus changing the unit.

The exact amount of yards is just 22/3, which you can estimate to 7.33 yds.

A city park commission received a donation of playground equipment from a parents' organization. The area of the playground need
soldi70 [24.7K]

A = (P/4)(P/2 - P/4)
= (P/4)^2

Therefore it is a square
Playground
256 yd^2
P least perimeter 

256 = (P/4)^2
P/4 = √256
= 16
P = 4*16
= 64

The least fencing is 64 yards.

Hope I helped!
