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.

What is the length of the diagonal?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The value of <em>x </em>is equal to 26 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

a=10\\b=24\\c=?

10^2+24^2=c^2

100+576=c^2

676=c^2

\sqrt{676} =\sqrt{c^2}

26=c

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP <br><br> Determine the slope of each line:
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a=(2/5), b = (-2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

well slope formula is rise/run. So for the first one you start at the point  rise 2 run 5 and you reach the endpoint. That is how you know you got the correct slope.  (2/5)

For the second one you start at the first point and you cannot go up because it is a negative slope you run 6 till you hit the other point go down 2. Since you go down 2 that would make it -2.  (-2,6)
