An irrational number multiplied, divided, added, or subtracted with a rational number, (or the other way around) is always irrational.

Since a is irrational, 1/a is 1/ a rational number, which will be irrational.

A machine uses gasoline at a rate of 1/5 gallon an hour. So far 9/10 of a gallon has been used. How many hours has the machine o
uysha [10]

The machine was operated for  4.5 hours

A machine uses gasoline at a rate of 1/5 gallon per hour

The number of hours it will take the machine to use 9/10 gallon can be calculated as follows

1/5 = 1

9/10= x

cross multiply

1/5x= 9/10

0.2x= 0.9

x= 0.9/0.2

x= 4.5

Hence the machine was operated for 4.5 hours

Use the picture below.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

x = 2.67°

GKJ = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle HKJ = 6x + 4

Angle HKG = 9x - 4

Segment bisects Angle GKJ, it means that angle HKJ is the same as angle HKG.

You have the measure of both angles in terms of x.

Angle HKJ = Angle HKG

6x + 4 = 9x - 4

4 + 4 = 9x - 6x

8 = 3x

2.67 = x

Angle HKJ:

6(2.67) + 4 = 20°

Angle HKG:

9(2.67) - 4 = 20°

Angle GKJ = HKJ + HKG = 20 + 20 = 40°

F(x)=6(1-x) what is the value of f(-8)
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

What the shorthand is telling you is wherever you see an x on the right, you put in -8

f(x) = 6(1- x)

f(-8) = 6(1 - - 8)

f(-8) = 6(1+8)

f(-8) = 6*9

f(-8) = 54
