If written as a decimal, a irrational number would have an infinite amount of digits (note that this does not make it a irrational number). In addition (this DOES make it a irrational number), it cannot be equal to one integer divided by another.

Without solving the equation, determine the nature of the roots of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0.
noname [10]

Answer:

two real, unequal  roots

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic equation.  The quadratic formula can be used to determine how many and what kind of roots may exist:  

Find the discriminant, which is defined as b^2 - 4ac, if ax^2 + bx + c = 0.  In this case, a = 1, b = -2 and c  = -8, so that the discriminant value is

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-8), or 4 + 32  =  36.

Because the discriminant is real and positive, we know for certain that we have two real, unequal  roots

I also need help with this one
icang [17]
It is c.

explanation:

20+130+h =180

when you solve you get h=50

130+g = 180

g= 50

50+60+f = 180

f=70

The diameter of the average cell in the human body is 1 x 10-5 meters. The diameter of a grain of sand is about 2 x 10-4 meters.
MariettaO [177]
PART A:

Scientific notation is given by A×10ⁿ where A is any number in a unit and 'n' is an integer.

0.000025 = 2.5×10⁻⁵

PART B:

Diameter of grain of sand ÷ Diameter of human body average cell
(2×10⁻⁴) ÷ (1×10⁻⁵) 
(2÷1) × (10⁻⁴÷10⁻⁵)
2 × (10⁻⁴ ⁻ ⁻⁵) = 2 × 10⁽⁻⁴⁺⁵⁾ = 2 × 10¹ = 20 times bigger

PART C:

The diameter of human body's average cell in nanometer
1 × 10⁻⁵ metre = 1 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁹ = 1 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁺⁹⁾ = 1 × 10⁴ nanometer

PART D:

Smallest bacteria = 300 nanometer
300 nm = 300 ÷ 10⁹ = (3 × 10²) ÷ 10⁹ = 3 × (10²⁻⁹) = 3 × 10⁻⁷ meter

PART E:

Laws of exponents that are applied in scientific notation is 

xᵇ × xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁺ᵃ⁾
xᵇ ÷ xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁻ᵃ⁾

#1

  • -6-3-5

Hence inequality will be

\\ \sf\longmapsto -6\leqslant 5

#2.

  • 3<5

But we need inequality

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3\leqslant 5

#3

A person in a balloon which is 2,000 feet above the airport finds that the angle of depression to a ship out at sea is 21°. Find
maria [59]
The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft
