Hello!

$\frac{19}{2}$ is automatically rational because it can be expressed as a fraction. Another way to find out if it's rational is to convert it to a decimal, then see if the decimal is terminating or repeating.

$\frac{19}{2} = 9.5$

This decimal is terminating.

A rational number is defined as a whole that is expressed as a percentage, decimal or, in this case, fraction.
So, since 19/2 is a fraction, we know that it is a rational number.
I hope this helps!! Can I have Brainliest, please? :)

Answer:

36.9 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by drawing a right triangle and doing trigonometry. We can draw our triangle with a height of 51 and a base of 68. In order to find the angle from the ground to the sun we can use arctangent (tan^-1). Since tan(angle)=opposite/adjacent we can find the angle by doing angle=tan^-1(51/68)

I am a 3 digit positive number. The sum of my digits is 18. My middle digit is the product of -2 and -4. My first digit is 3^2.

Let x be the first digit.
Let y be the second digit.
Let z be the third digit.

x+y+z=18

y= (-2)(-4)
y= 8

x= 3^2
x= 9

Therefore z=1.

The number is
= 100x+10y+z
= 100(9)+10(8)+(1)
= 981

Answer:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4(3)(1)}}{2(3)}\\\\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49-12}}{6}\\ \\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}$
