Why is the sum of a rational number and a irrational number always irrational

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

A rational number is a number able to be put into a fraction, an irrational number is not able to be. Therefore, when adding the two, the rational and the irrational will be irrational. For example, 2 is a rational number, and 1.8903 is irrational. If you add the two, you will get 3.18903, which is unable to be put into a fraction.

While testing a new vaccine, a lab technician noticed that the number of bacteria reduced by half every minute. How long does it

son4ous [18]

To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t, $t=log_{.5} .125=3$ . This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375

The 2 lengths + 2 widths of the rectangle will equal 160 meters
So, for example, length = 50 m and width = 30m would fit the bill

2*50 + 2*30 = 160 m
