Good question.

Basically, your money.

Algebra is pretty useful for a number of problems in your job and managing your money.

Your teacher probably gives you "real world problems" that apply principles in algebra to the real world.

That being said, if you are pursuing a career in STEM fields, then you definitely need to learn algebra and a few other higher level math courses.

If you're not pursuing a career in STEM, then you learn algebra for your money, which is pretty important to everyone.

Which of the following numbers can be expressed as repeating decimals? 3 over 7, 2 over 5, 3 over 4, 2 over 9

Maurinko [17]

Hello!

Let's think about the denominators we have. A seventh goes on forever in no specified order. A fifth an a fourth have set decimal values, 0.2 and 0.25, so they are not repeating decimals. A ninth is 0.111111..., it repeats like this forever in a specified order. Therefore, 2/9, or 0.222222...., would be a repeating decimal.

Therefore, our answer is $\boxed {\frac{2}{9}}$ .

I hope this helps!

An airplane pilot can see the top of a traffic control tower at a 20 degree angle of depression. the airplane is 5,000 feet away

daser333 [38]

The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.

Let the required length be x, then

$\tan{20^o}=\cfrac{opp}{hyp}=\cfrac{x}{5,000}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=5,000\tan{20^o}=1,819.85$
