A rational number is an algebraic term expressed as a fraction. The fraction can also be in decimals but only if the decimal places are not repeating or not infinitely long. If they aren't, then these are called irrational numbers.

Let's try each of the choices:

A. The term 2/4 is a rational number. Now, when 0.3 or 3/10 is added to it, the sum would be 4/5 or 0.8. This is a rational number.

B. √7 is an irrational number because its exact value is 2.645751311.... Even if you add 0.3 to it, the answer would still be irrational

C. Obviously, this is an irrational number

D. The exact value of π is <span>3.14159...... If 0.3 is added to it, the answer would be 3.441592654. This is irrational.

Therefore, the answer is A.</span>

Answer:

160,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

2018 is 13 years after 2005.

Put x=13 in the equation and evaluate:

... y = 0.538·13 +9.02 = 6.994 +9.02 = 16.014

This is the number of 10,000 sq ft, so the required area is ...

... 16 times 10,000 sq ft = 160,000 sq ft.

Please help me with this problem

Rom4ik [11]

y=x^2 + x - 2

x + y = 1

Replace y in the second equation:

x + x^2 + x -2 = 1

Simplify:

x^2 + 2x -2 = 1

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x^2 + 2x -3 = 0

Factor:

(x-1) (x+3) = 0

Solve for both x's:

x = 1 and x = -3

Now replace x in the second equation and solve for y using both x values:

1 + y = 1, y = 0

-3 + y = 1, y = 4

Now you have (1,0) and (-3,4) as solutions for (x,y)

XY = x times y:

1 x 0 = 0

-3 x 4 = -12

The answer would be -12

1.2 x 10^19 x 5.88 x 10^12

Answer:

7.056 × 10^31

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

(10^a)(10^b) = 10^(a+b)

$(1.2\times10^{19})\times(5.88\times10^{12})=(1.2\cdot5.88)\times10^{19+12}\\\\=\boxed{7.056\times10^{31}}$

As you know, the commutative and associative properties of multiplication let you rearrange the order of the product to any convenient form. Here it is convenient to group the mantissas together and the powers of 10 together.

<em>Additional comments</em>

This is a product your scientific or graphing calculator can produce for you. Likely it will display the result in scientific notation because it won't have enough display digits to show you the product any other way. For smaller numbers, you can set the display mode to give you scientific notation.

If you choose to use a spreadsheet to perform this calculation, the numbers would be entered as 1.2e19 and 5.88e12. The result will be something like 7.056e31. You may have to format the display to show 3 decimal places.
