What is the difference between locating 3/5 on a number line and locating √5 on a number line?

3/5 is 0.6 and is a rational number.

√5 however is an irrational number.

It would be quite easy to find 0.6 on a number line. It's only 6/10. It's made up of six tenths.

Now √5 is equal to 2.236067977........ to infinitum.

It's made up of many little and random fractions; to a certain degree infinitely many little and random fractions.

This means that you'd never be able to find its precise value on a number line. You could zoom in to that line for eternity and never find the precise value of √5. You'd think you're getting closer to it's precise value - but it slips away and you just can't reach it.

Answer:

  4^4·6^5·7^7 = 1,639,390,814,208

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the cube root multiplies each exponent by 1/3.

  ((4^12)(6^15)(7^21))^(1/3) = (4^(12/3))·(6^(15/3))·(7^(21/3)) = (4^4)(6^5)(7^7)

Do even numbers have more factors in odd numbers or do i numbers have more factors than even numbers
Serggg [28]
<span>It is because even numbers always have a factor of two, and therefore, larger composite even numbers will have factors of two and other even numbers based around two, such as 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on. On the other hand, numbers which are odd can have factors of 3, 5, and 7 for example, and their numbers based around them(3, 9, 27; 5, 10, 15; 7, 49, 343; and so on). If we look into it, notice how for odd numbers the space between the numbers based around 3, 5, and 7 are increasingly further apart. This is the reason why less large odd integers to have numerous factors. It is because odd numbers cannot have the prime factor 2, this will reduce their factor number. And is is also because even numbers are already divided by 2, this will give them more factors over the odd numbers.</span>

-7,-12,-17,-22,-27 find the nth term
Bess [88]

Answer:

-2 - 5n

Step-by-step explanation:

-7, -12, -17, -22, -27.....

Arithmetic Sequence

first term a = -7

difference = d = -12 - (-7) = -12 + 7 =  (-5)

nth term = a + (n-1)d

              =  -7 + (n-1)*(-5)

              = -7 + (-5)*n -1 * (-5)

             = -7 - 5n + 5

            = -2 - 5n

remember slope is eqaul to rise over run.

6-11 = -5 so it rose down by 5 units

10 - 3 = 7 so it ran 7 units

thus

slope= -5/7
