opposite means the sign changes (from positive to negative or vice versa)

since a rational number includes both positives and negatives, then the opposite of a rational is also a rational.

For example: $\frac{3}{5}$ is a rational number. Its opposite is $-\frac{3}{5}$ , which is also a rational number.

Hope this helped!

(0,0), (1,5), (2,20), (3,45), (4,80) what's the rule?

yanalaym [24]

Hmm, seems to multiply by 5
wait, no

first is multiply by 5
2nd is multiply by 10
3rd is multiply by 15
4th is multiply by 20
seems to be

$f(x)=x(5x)$ or $f(x)=5x^2$
the rule is square the input then multiply by 5

A collar of Styrofoam is made to insulate a pipe. Find it's volume. That large R is to the outer rim. The smaller r us to the ed

anastassius [24]

Answer:

the volume of the pipe is 649.98 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a collar of Styrofoam is made to insulate a pipe. We are asked to find the volume of the given pipe.

We will use volume of hollow cylinder formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\pi R^2h-\pi r^2h$

where,

R = Radius of external cylinder,

r = Radius of internal cylinder.

h = Height of cylinder.

substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

$\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\pi (5\text{ in})^2(\text{23 in})-\pi (4\text{ in})^2(\text{23 in})\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\text{23 in}\cdot 3.14 ((5\text{ in})^2-(4\text{ in})^2)\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\text{23 in}\cdot 3.14 (25\text{ in}^2-16\text{ in}^2)\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=\text{23 in}\cdot 3.14 (9\text{ in}^2)\text{Volume of hollow cylinder}=649.98\text{ in}^3$
