Is the square root of 12 rational or irrational?

Mathematics

<h3>Answer: Irrational</h3>

We cannot write sqrt(12) as a fraction of two whole numbers

Note how sqrt(12) = 3.464 and the decimal portion goes on forever without any known pattern (and it doesnt repeat either).

Compare this to something like sqrt(16) = 4 which can be written as a fraction 4/1, so sqrt(16) is rational

If that test is worth 40% of your grade, it still depends. If your other grades (other tests, homework, quizzes, etc.) are great, then no worries.<span />

Each wall is 15*30 = 450
450* 4 walls = 1,800
Area of triangles are 15*15/2 = 112.5
112.5 * 4 triangles = 450
1,800 + 450 = 2,250

2,250/143 = 15.73

A rectangle has a length 3 times the width. What is the perimeter in terms of x?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Perimeter is equal to all four sides added together.

Length = 3W; L=3W

So

P = 2(W) + 2(L)  substitute the equation for length above you get

P = 2(W) + 2(3W)  and combine

P = 2W + 6W = 8W; put in what the perimeter is and solve for W

66 = 8W, so W = 8.25

W = 8.25, L = 24.75

City A had a population of 10000 in the year 1990. City A’s population grows at a constant rate of 3% per year. City B has a pop
Georgia [21]

Answer:

City A and city B will have equal population 25years after 1990

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

t \to years after 1990

A_t \to population function of city A

B_t \to population function of city B

<u>City A</u>

A_0 = 10000 ---- initial population (1990)

r_A =3\% --- rate

<u>City B</u>

B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * A_{10} ----- t = 10 in 2000

A_{20} = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%) ---- t = 20 in 2010

Required

When they will have the same population

Both functions follow exponential function.

So, we have:

A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t

B_t = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^t

Calculate the population of city A in 2000 (t = 10)

A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t

A_{10} = 10000 * (1 + 3\%)^{10}

A_{10} = 10000 * (1 + 0.03)^{10}

A_{10} = 10000 * (1.03)^{10}

A_{10} = 13439.16

Calculate the population of city A in 2010 (t = 20)

A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t

A_{20} = 10000 * (1 + 3\%)^{20}

A_{20} = 10000 * (1 + 0.03)^{20}

A_{20} = 10000 * (1.03)^{20}

A_{20} = 18061.11

From the question, we have:

B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * A_{10}  and  A_{20} = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%)

B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * A_{10}

B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * 13439.16

B_{10} = 6719.58

A_{20} = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%)

18061.11 = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%)

18061.11 = B_{20} * (1 + 0.20)

18061.11 = B_{20} * (1.20)

Solve for B20

B_{20} = \frac{18061.11}{1.20}

B_{20} = 15050.93

B_{10} = 6719.58 and B_{20} = 15050.93 can be used to determine the function of city B

B_t = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^t

For: B_{10} = 6719.58

We have:

B_{10} = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10}

B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10} = 6719.58

For: B_{20} = 15050.93

We have:

B_{20} = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20}

B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20} = 15050.93

Divide B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20} = 15050.93 by B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10} = 6719.58

\frac{B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20}}{B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10}} = \frac{15050.93}{6719.58}

\frac{(1 + r_B)^{20}}{(1 + r_B)^{10}} = 2.2399

Apply law of indices

(1 + r_B)^{20-10} = 2.2399

(1 + r_B)^{10} = 2.2399 --- (1)

Take 10th root of both sides

1 + r_B = \sqrt[10]{2.2399}

1 + r_B = 1.08

Subtract 1 from both sides

r_B = 0.08

To calculate B_0, we have:

B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10} = 6719.58

Recall that: (1 + r_B)^{10} = 2.2399

So:

B_0 * 2.2399 = 6719.58

B_0  = \frac{6719.58}{2.2399}

B_0  = 3000

Hence:

B_t = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^t

B_t = 3000 * (1 + 0.08)^t

B_t = 3000 * (1.08)^t

The question requires that we solve for t when:

A_t = B_t

Where:

A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t

A_t = 10000 * (1 + 3\%)^t

A_t = 10000 * (1 + 0.03)^t

A_t = 10000 * (1.03)^t

and

B_t = 3000 * (1.08)^t

A_t = B_t becomes

10000 * (1.03)^t = 3000 * (1.08)^t

Divide both sides by 10000

(1.03)^t = 0.3 * (1.08)^t

Divide both sides by (1.08)^t

(\frac{1.03}{1.08})^t = 0.3

(0.9537)^t = 0.3

Take natural logarithm of both sides

\ln(0.9537)^t = \ln(0.3)

Rewrite as:

t\cdot\ln(0.9537) = \ln(0.3)

Solve for t

t = \frac{\ln(0.3)}{ln(0.9537)}

t = 25.397

Approximate

t = 25
