Hi!

<h3>An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a ratio or a fraction. </h3><h3>Let's go through each answer. </h3>

A. √0.036

= 0.18973666...

<u>This is irrational, because it repeats forever.</u>

B. 7.2525

<u>This is rational, because 2525 repeats in a pattern.</u>

C. √1

= 1

<u>This is rational. (1/1)</u>

D. 10

<u>This is rational (10/1)</u>

<h2>The answer is A. √0.036.</h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Determine whether the two figures are similar. If so, give the similarity ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure. The

zloy xaker [14]

We have that

smaller figure
ha=8.7
ra=1.6

larger figure
hb=10.44
rb=1.92

ha/hb=8.7/10.44----> 0.83
ra/rb=1.6/1.92-------> 0.83
ratio smaller figure to the larger figure
1.6/1.92-------> divided by 1.6 both members[1.6/1.6]/[1.92/1.6]-------> 1/1.2

the ratio ha/hb is equal to the ratio ra/rb
so
the smaller figure and the larger figure are similar
and
the ratio smaller figure to the larger figure is equal to----> 1/1.2

the answer is
the option yes 1/1.2

Is a positive integer raised to a negative power always positive

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Many students gets confused with these exponential problems, they often get misguided but understand that there is nothing to be confused of.

When you have a negative number, you just take the reciprocal of the whole exponent number.

What is a reciprocal?

Let's take an integer for example, let's take the number 3.

The reciprocal for 3 is (1/3)

Let's take an other number, let's take 2/3

The reciprocal for 2/3 is (3/2)

In conclusion, we just reverse the denominator and the numerator or just switch it.

We take 3 as (3/1) and that is the reason, the reciprocal would be (1/3)

Now, coming to the negative integers. Taking an example:

(2)⁻¹

This would be become (1/2¹) = (1/2)

Hence, the result of a negative integer is positive but would be a fraction.

Hope I helped!

Grace is planning on purchasing an Akai Professional MPC5000 drum machine for $2195. She's been pre-approved to finance her purc

Genrish500 [490]

1) Her monthly payment is $40.97 if she finance the total amount

2) She will pay $2458.2 for the MPC5000

3)Her monthly payment will be $26.50 if she pay her saved up money upfront

4) She will pay $2365.4 for the MPC5000

5) Yes, I recommend to pay the $775 upfront . If she pay upfront, then the amount she needs to pay for the MPC5000 is less.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the drum machine is $2195

The APR is 12% over 60 months

1) the APR for 60 months is 12%

So, the APR for 1 month is

12/60 = 0.2%

The interest per month = 0.2% of 2195

= (0.2 x 2195) / 100

= 4.39

The amount to be paid per month is

= monthly amount + interest

= (2195/60) + 4.39

= 36.58 + 4.39

=$ 40.97

2) If she pays $40.97 per month then the total payment (for 60 months) for the drum machine

= 40.97 x 60

= $ 2458.2

3) the total cost is $2195 out of which she pays $775 upfront.

So she have to borrow less .

The amount to be financed is

2195- 775= $1420

The monthly interest is,

(0.2 x 1420) /100 = 2.84

Monthly she have to pay

23.66+ 2.84= $26.50

4) If she pay $775 upfront then the remaining $1420 is financed

Her monthly payment is $26.50

Then for 60 months she will pay,

26.50 x 60= $1590.4

The total amount paid for the drum machine is

775+1590.4 =$2365.4
