Question: is 1 > 0.99999999...?Prove algebraically.

1 answer:

6 0

No. We claim that $1=0.\overline{9}$ and use algebra to prove the statement.

Let $x=0.\overline{9}$ . Multiply this by ten to get $10x=9.\overline{9}$ . Subtract the initial equation to give $9x=9$ and divide by $9$ to see that $x=1$ . Substituting into the original equation gives $1=0.\overline{9}$ , proving the desired statement.

Two Trains left a station at the same time. One traveled north at a certain speed and the other traveled south at twice that spe

sashaice [31]

Let s = northbound train
Then
2s = southbound train
:
Distance = time * speed
4s + 4(2s) = 600
:
4s + 8s = 600
:
12s = 600
:
s = 600/12
:
s = 50 mph is the northbound train
Then
2(50) = 100 mph is the southbound train
:
:
Check:
4(50) + 4(100) = 600

Sloan [31]

Answer: Yes. On average, it takes about 455 days for 1 person to throw away 1 ton of garbage, so just over 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation: The average person throws away 4.4 pounds of trash daily. So, the way to figure this out is 2,000 divided by 4.4 to find out the number of days it would take to throw away 2,000 pounds of trash.

Describe the translation of the function from the parent function f(x) = x².

kkurt [141]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\

\end{array}\\$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}
$

now, notice the template above... now let's see your function $\bf y=x^2+4\implies 
\begin{array}{llllll}
y=&1(&1x&+&0)^2+&4\\
&A&B&&C&D
\end{array}$

so.. what do you think was the shift then?
