Answer: Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>THREE WAYS TO DETERMINE: </u>

If the number given is an integer, it is rational.

If the number given is fraction, it is rational.

If the number given is decimal, as long as it is terminating or repetitive decimal, it is rational. (Because then you can write it as a fraction which leads to the second point)

----------------------------------------------------------

Square root of 3600=60

It is an integer, which fits the first point

<h2>So, it is rational</h2>

Hope this helps!! :)

One leg of a right triangle has length 7. The lengths of the other two sides are whole numbers. The length of the other leg is _

suter [353]

Sets of three integers that could be right triangles are called pythagorean triples. the only pythagorean triple including 7 is 7, 24, and 25. so the length of the other leg is 24 and the length of the hypotenuse is 25. hope this helped!

write a linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at two points. Then write a second linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at just o

Liula [17]

We know that $y = x^2$ is a parabola, concave up, with vertex in the origin $(0,0)$

So, we may use three horizontal lines for our purpose: any horizontal line above the x axis will intersect the parabola twice. The x axis itself intersects the parabola once on the vertex, while any horizontal line below the x axis won't intercept the parabola.

Here's the examples:

The horizontal line $y = 4$ intercepts the parabola twice: the system $y = x^2,\ y = 4$ is solved by $x^2=4 \implies x = \pm 2$
The horizontal line $y=0$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=0$ which yields $x^2=0\implies x=0$ which is a repeated solution
The horizontal line $y=-5$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=-5$ which yields $x^2=-5$ which is impossible, because a squared number can't be negative.
