What is 0.8333 forever in a fraction
2 answers:
There are a couple of different approaches you can use for this. Here's one.
1. Determine how many digits repeat. (There is just one repeating digit.)
2. Call your number x. Multiply x by 10 to the power of the number of digits found in step 1.
3. Subtract the original number, then solve for x.

If you recognize that 0.333... (repeating) is 1/3, then you know that 0.0333... (repeating) is 1/10×1/3 = 1/30. Add that to 0.8 = 4/5 and you get
... 4/5 + 1/30 = 24/30 + 1/30 = 25/30 = 5/6

Answer:
maximum: y = 1
minimum: y = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the function:
y = f(x) = √(1 + x^2 - 2x)
we want to find the minimum and maximum in the segment [0, 1]
First, we evaluate in the endpoints, which are 0 and 1.
f(0) =√(1 + 0^2 - 2*0) = 1
f(1) = √(1 + 1^2 - 2*1) = 0
Now let's look at the critical points (the zeros of the first derivate)
To derivate our function, we can use the chain rule:
f(x) = h(g(x))
then
f'(x) = h'(g(x))*g(x)
Here we can define:
h(x) = √x
g(x) = 1 + x^2 - 2x
Then:
f(x) = h(g(x))
f'(x) = 1/2*( 1 + x^2 - 2x)*(2x - 2)
f'(x) = (1 + x^2 - 2x)*(x - 1)
f'(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 1
this function does not have any zero in the segment [0, 1] (you can look it in the image below)
Thus, the function does not have critical points in the segment.
Then the maximum and minimum are given by the endpoints.
The maximum is 1 (when x = 0)
the minimum is 0 (when x = 1)
To solve an equation with a rational (fraction) coefficient you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal (invert the fraction - flip it).
The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1 or 6
The product of reciprocals equals 1
1x = 24
x = 24
1x = 24
x = 24
