22/7 = 3.142857...

Let's see if we can beat this using a fraction with 113 as its denominator.

-------

3 x 120 = 360

-------

So, let's try out x = 360:

360/113 = 3.185.... (Too high)

How about x=350:

350/113 = 3.097... (Too low)

Let's try out x = 355:

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

--------

Let's now compare 22/7 and 355/113 to pi:

22/7 = 3.142857...

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

π = 3.141592654

-------

As we can see, 355/113 provides us with a better approximation of π. This means that x=355.

The set of ordered pairs below represents a relation that is a function.
swat32

Answer:

I'm confused by the points:  

Why three points for each (A, B, C, and D)?: A: (0,6)(0,6)(0,6), etc.

Points A and B [(0,6) and (4,2)] are consistant with a straight line of the form y=-x+6.

Points C and D [(-6,8),(-8,10)]are on the line y=-x+2.  

A and B aren't related to C and D.

A set of equations is given below
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

This is no solution due to the fact that the slope of both of the equation are the same. So they are parallel. If the b value is the same then it is infinitely many solutions. Due to the fact that the b value is not the same they are a set of parallel line. Parallel line do not touch or intersect ever so there for this is a no solution set.

Answer:

Single Solution of 3.2 (16/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = 8x -16 <--- I combine like terms.

-5x = -16

-16/-5 = x

x = 3.2
