Let's start by defining what a rational number is. It is a number that is expressed as a fraction. It could also be in decimal form, but only in circumstances when the decimal places are exact and not continuous or repeating. Let's take for example √7. Its exact value is 2.645751311. The decimals places are random and continuous that's why it can't be expressed into fraction. But if the decimal for is, say, 0.25, that is rational because it can be expressed to 1/4.

Now, the reason where it could be a fraction by using a denominator of 1 is invalid. All whole numbers have a denominator of 1. It is implicitly defined because any number divided by 1 is equal to the number itself. This is not a basis for a characteristic of a rational number. Therefore, the student is incorrect.

2) 3x + 4y = 8<br> 2x+y=42<br> a) (30, -19)<br> b) (31, -20)<br> c) (32,-22)<br> What is the answer
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve simultaneous equations using substitution method, elimination method or graphical method. But for this purpose, we will be using the elimination method.

3x+4y=8 Equation 1

2x+y=42 Equation 2

Multiply Equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, so as to get the same coefficient for x

2(3x+4y=8)= 6x+8y=16 Equation 3

3(2x+y=42)= 6x+3y=126 Equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3, to eliminate x

6x-6x=0

8y-3y= 5y

16-126= -110

We now have 5y=-110

Divide both sides by 5,

y= -110/5

= -22

Substituting for y in equation 2

2x+(-22)= 42

2x= 42+22

2x=64

x= 64/2

= 32

(x, y)

(32, -22)

Outline the process for Inscribing an equilateral triangle in a circle. Perform the construction in GeoGebra, and take a
mezya [45]

Answer:

I don't use Geogebra, but the following procedure should work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct a circle A with point B on the circumference.

  1. Use the POINT and SEGMENT TOOLS to create a circle with centre B and radius BA.
  2. Use the POINT tool to mark points D and E where the circles intersect.
  3. Use the SEGMENT tool to draw segments from C to D, C to E, and D to E.

You have just created equilateral ∆CDE inscribed in circle A.
