Yes, for fractions you can multiply the denominator by the numerator. For square roots you can use the square root button.

You can try


well, a number is rational if it can be writtten in form a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0

integers are like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4


irrational numbers can't be written in form a/b like that with integers

so if we had 2/3, we're done, no need to use calculator
note: all releating deciamals can be written as a fraction and are therefor rational

you can use a calculator, but if it's in fraction form, no need to do that
sometimes a number repeats but you might not be able to see it if you use a calculator

Evaluating the Six Trigonometric Function Question attached
ziro4ka [17]
If tan theta is -1, we know immediately that theta is in either Quadrant II or Q IV.  We need to focus on Q IV due to the restrictions on theta.

Because tan theta is -1, the ray representing theta makes a 45 degree angle with the horiz axis, and a 45 degree angle with the negative vert. axis.  Thus the hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean Theorem, tells us that the hyp is sqrt(2).
Thus, the cosine of theta is adj / hyp, or +1 / sqrt(2), or [sqrt(2)]/2

The secant of theta is the reciprocal of that, and thus is

What is a1? what is d? what’s the equation? what is a7? what is a59?
Zina [86]
Answer:

a1 = 2

d = 3

an = 2 + (n - 1) * 3

a7 = 20

a59 = 176

Steps:

a1 is the initial value (when n equals 1), and since there are 2 crosses, it is 2.

d is the added value to each amount of crosses. And since the second amount is 5 and the third amount is 8, we can determine that each n is adding 3 crosses, therefore making d = 3.

The equation is simply plugging in the values for a1 and d.

A7 is simply plugging in 7 for n in the equation and solving for it. So;

a7 = 2 + (7 - 1) * 3

a7 = 2 + 6 * 3

a7 = 2 + 18

a7 = 20

And same thing as the last for 59 except substitute 59 in for where you put 7;

a59 = 2 + (59 - 1) * 3

a59 = 2 + 58 * 3

a59 = 2 + 174

a59 = 176
