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

becomes

---- + 12 -2 following order of operations rules (PEMDAS)

Combining the last 2 terms, we get 10. The final answer is

9/25 + 10, or 10 9/25, or 10.36.

HELLO HUMANS! QUICK QUESTION. WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST!

Answer:

use the slope formula

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually, you are asked for an average slope over some interval. The slope is calculated on that interval the same as it would be if you were given two points, one at each end of the interval.

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

For example, if you wanted to know the slope on the interval [1, 2] hours, the points you would use would be ...

(hours, miles) = (1, 25) and (2, 75)

The corresponding slope on that interval is ...

m = (75 -25)/(2 -1) = 50 . . . . miles per hour

You can identify four (4) regions on this graph in which the slope is constant:

(0, 1) . . . slope is 25 mph

(1, 2) . . . slope is 50 mph, as computed above

(2, 3) . . . slope is 0 (the rider has stopped)

(3, 5) . . . slope is 25 mph

Over different intervals, you need to identify the points involved and use the formula to compute the average slope.

Here is Triangle A. Lin created a scaled copy of Triangle A with an area of 72 square units. C. What is the length of bottom sid

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The length of bottom side of the scaled copy is 12 u

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to know that to calculate the area of a triangle we use the following formula

a = area

b = base

h = height

a = b * h

In the triangle A the base and the height are equal to 3

b = h

Now that we know that b & h we can calculate the base of the scaled copy

72 u² = b * b

72 u² = (b)²

√(72 u²) = b

12 u = b

The length of bottom side of the scaled copy is 12 u

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Program C allows students to earn a Mathematics degree (B.A. or B.S.) by combining courses in the Department of Mathematics with courses from one other department. In most areas of specializations, mathematical and/or quantitative courses in other departments are part of the math degree program. All Program C students take a minimum of five core math courses: Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, Introduction to Linear Algebra, and a proofs course, usually either Introduction to Abstract Algebra or Fundamental Properties of Spaces and Functions I.
