How can you determine if a number is a rational number?

Mathematics

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means that it can be written as a fraction. The numerator and the denominator both need to be whole numbers for it to be rational. For example, 2 is a rational number because it can be written as the fraction 2/1.

Find the areas of the trapezoids
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

12 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here h = 4 ( perpendicular distance between the bases ) and

b₁ = SR = 2, b₂ = TA = 4 , then

A = \frac{1}{2} × 4 × (2 + 4) = 2 × 6 = 12 units²

Which equation, when graphed, has x-intercepts at (-1,0) and (-5,0) and a y-intercept at (0, -30)?
Vladimir [108]

If a function has roots -1 and -5, it must be in the form

f(x)=a(x+1)(x+5)

We can fix the coefficient a by imposing the passing through (0,-30):

f(0)=-30=a(1)(5)\iff a=-6

So, the function is

f(x)=-6(x+1)(x+5)

The number of major earthquakes in a year is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 20.8 and a standard deviation of
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a) 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

b) 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 20.8, \sigma = 4.5

a) Find the probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 21. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{21 - 20.8}{4.5}

Z = 0.04

Z = 0.04 has a pvalue of 0.5160.

So there is a 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

b) Find the probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 23 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 18. So:

X = 23

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{23 - 20.8}{4.5}

Z = 0.71

Z = 0.71 has a pvalue of 0.7611

X = 18

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{18 - 20.8}{4.5}

Z = -0.62

Z = -0.62 has a pvalue of 0.2676

So there is a 0.7611 - 0.2676 = 0.4935 = 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

Directions: Find the Surface Area
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Surface area = 92 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is,

Surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)

Here, l = length of the prism

b = width of the prism

h = height of the prism

By substituting the measures of the sides given in the picture,

Surface area = 2(2×3 + 3×8 + 8×2)

                      = 2(6 + 24 + 16)

                      = 2(46)

                      = 92 square feet

Therefore, surface area of the given rectangular prism is 92 ft².
