Which variable is discrete

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. The number of runners in a race

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables can be widely be classified as either discrete or continuous. A continuous variable is a variable which can take on any value within its domain. A continuous variable can take on fraction of units. Examples of continuous variables include;

time to finish a race - it can be 10.5 sec or 35.56 sec

temperature at start of race - the temperature could be 25.5 K, or 45.57 K

length of race in kilometers - the length could be 20 km, 22.45 km or 38.8 km

All the above variables can be measured in fraction of units and are thus continuous in nature.

On the other hand, a variable is said to be discrete if it can take on only integer values. An example in this case would be ;

the number of runners in a race. We can only have, 10, 45, 600, 565 and so on runners but never a fraction of a runner.

Find the length of side x in the simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use either angle, but I'm going to use the one on the bottom. So, in order to find x, we need to use tangent. One side we know is the adjacent, and the side we don't know is the opposite, therefore we need tangent. Here's the equation:

tan(45)=\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}

Obviously, we can't have a root in our denominator, so we need to get rid of it somehow. Here's how:

We multiply the denominator of the fraction by \sqrt{2}. \sqrt{2} multiplied by itself is simply 2. Try it! We also want to multiply the numerator by \sqrt{2}, but there isn't really a number we can use with that, so we'll just add it to the side. The equation you have now is:

tan(45)=\frac{x\sqrt{2} }{2}

Let's try to work this out now. Since the denominator is 2, we have to multiply both sides by it to find x.

\frac{x\sqrt{2} }{2*2} =x\sqrt{2}

tan(45)*2=2

We can plug 2 in for the x in the numerator now:

\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{2}

2 and 2 cancel out, so you get 1 in both the numerator and denominator. That's how we get our answer of x=\sqrt{2}

Also, because this is a 45-45-90 triangle, you don't really have to do all that work. If it's a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs should be the same length. :)

The height of a distance marker is 8 2/13 feet. 4/5 of the pole is painted white and rest is painted blue. How much of the pole
Mashcka [7]
1) Convert the mixed number 8 and 2/13 into a fraction:

8 and 2/13 = 8 + 2/13 = (8*13 + 2) / 13 = 106 / 13

2) Calculate 4/5 of 106 / 13

(4 / 5) * ( 106 / 13) = (4*106) / (5*13) = 424 / 65

That is (390 + 34) / 65 = 390/65 + 34/65 = 6 + 34/65 is painted white

3) Calculate the rest

 (1/5) * (106 / 13) = 106 / 65 = 1 + 41/65 is painted blue
