Use geometric series to find the fraction of 0.8967898989

Mathematics

Sliva [168]3 years ago

I'm guessing the repeating part is 89 at the end, so that

x=0.8967\overline89\implies10^4x=8967.\overline{89}

Then

10^4x=8967+\displaystyle89\sum_{i=1}^\infty\frac1{100^i}

10^4x=8967+89\left(\dfrac1{1-\frac1{100}}-1\right)

10^4x=8967+\dfrac{89}{99}

x=\dfrac{8967}{10^4}+\dfrac{89}{99\cdot10^4}

x=\dfrac{443911}{495000}

###

An arguably quicker way without using geometric series:

10^4x=8967.\overline{89}

10^6x=896789.\overline{89}

10^6x-10^4x=887822

x=\dfrac{887822}{10^6-10^4}=\dfrac{443911}{495000}

A piece of land is shaped like a right triangle. Two people start at the right angle at the same time, and walk at the same spee
sweet [91]

Answer:

1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the triangle = A = ¹/₂ab

where a is the distance covered by the first person and b is the distance covered by the second person. since they walk at the same speed, then a = b, so our formula can be changed to A = ¹/₂x²

now we find the derivative of both sides:

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ dx²/dt

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ 2x ⋅ dx/dt

dA/dt = x ⋅ dx/dt = x ⋅ velocity

we are told that x = 5 m, and dA/dt = 5 m²/s

velocity = dA/dt / x

velocity = 5 m²/s / 5 m = 1 m/s
