Is the square root of 20 a rational number or irrational number

2 answers:

8 0

The square root of 20 is 4.472135955. This is an irrational number because rational numbers are repeating decimals. This is not a repeating decimal and it cannot be expressed as a fraction. So, it is in fact a irrational number.

I hope this helps:)

A number is rational if it can be written in form a/b where a and b are integers and b is not equal to 0
integers are like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4, etc

so
√20=2√5 which is irrational because we can't write it as a fraciton with only integers

also a rational number multilied by an irratinonal number=irrtaional
we know that the square root of any prime number will be irrational and 5 is prime so 2 times √5=rational times irrational=irrational

√20 is irrational

If w= the weight of trout. Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below?

konstantin123 [22]

Product means multiplication.

Given w= weight of a trout.

So, we need to convert "product of 16 and weight of trout: w " into an algebraic expression.

So, product of 16 and w can be written as 16*w or simply 16w.

Hence, B is the correct choice.

Solve for x by completing the square: x2 - 12x + 11 = 0

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + 11 = 0 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

x² - 12x = - 11

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 = - 11 + 36

(x - 6)² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 6 = ± $\sqrt{25}$ = ± 5 ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 6 ± 5

Then

x = 6 - 5 = 1 ⇒ (1, 0 )

x = 6 + 5 = 11 ⇒ (11, 0 )

Anarel [89]

Answer:

250 Students are musicians, 200 are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimal Version:

If we take "5 out of every nine students are musicians" and make this a fraction we get 5/9. 5/9 as a decimal is approximately 55.555555555556. 55.555555555556% of 450 = 250. So that means 250 students are musicians.
