Can you ever use a calculator to determine if a number is rational or irrational?

A rational number is simply a term that can be expressed as a fraction. Otherwise, that is an irrational number. So, you can use a calculator to verify if the number is rational or not.

The key characteristic of an irrational number is when it contains a long line of decimal places. For example, the term π and the Euler's number e are irrational numbers. The exact values of π and e are 3.14159 and <span>2.71828182846, respectively. In reality, those decimal places go on a long way. Particularly, </span>π<span> has a total of 2.7 trillion digits. Numbers inside radicals or roots can also be irrational numbers. For example </span>√3 is irrational because it is equal to 1.732050808. However, not all radicals are irrational. For example √15.3664 is equal to 98/25 or 3.92. That is a rational number. So, therefore, use the calculator to know the exact value of the term to properly distinguish rational from irrational.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The radius is increased by 1.2599 times the original size.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is 3 dimensional whereas the radius is one dimensional.

Therefore the factor for the  radius will be the cube root of the factor for the volume.

So the radius is increased by 1.2599.

Which expression makes the equation true?
N76 [4]
1. C. 

The rule of powers is that when a parenthesis is raised to a power, you multiply the two numbers. Since it is being raised to the second power, it needs to have a 10 in the parenthesis. That would make 20. 

2. B

Firstly 10^2 = 100, so we know that the number must be 10. That leaves us with just A and B. Then we know the same thing from the previous equation, that they need to be multiplied together.

Mikaela’s friends brought a big box of crackers to the movie theater. 53 crackers are
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

123 crackers

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/3 of the box contains sesame seed crackers, then, 2/3 of the box contains whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers.

Total number of whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers = 53 + 29 = 82

Let x be the total number of crackers in the box, so we will have the equation

2/3 x= 82

x = 82 ÷ 2/3; we will get

X =82 x 3/2

X = 123 crackers
