Answer:
Since a/2⁽ⁿ ⁺ ¹⁾b < a/2ⁿb, we cannot find a smallest positive rational number because there would always be a number smaller than that number if it were divided by half.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a/b be the rational number in its simplest form. If we divide a/b by 2, we get another rational number a/2b. a/2b < a/b. If we divide a/2b we have a/2b ÷ 2 = a/4b = a/2²b. So, for a given rational number a/b divided by 2, n times, we have our new number c = a/2ⁿb where n ≥ 1
Since 
= a/(2^∞)b = a/b × 1/∞ = a/b × 0 = 0, the sequence converges.
Now for each successive division by 2, a/2⁽ⁿ ⁺ ¹⁾b < a/2ⁿb and
a/2⁽ⁿ ⁺ ¹⁾b/a/2ⁿb = 1/2, so the next number is always half the previous number.
So, we cannot find a smallest positive rational number because there would always be a number smaller than that number if it were divided by half.
Answer:
324 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
The surface area of a shape is the area of all the surfaces added up
The side surface area is 48 since 16 x 3 is 48. Since there are two side areas, we need to multiply 48 x 2 is 96
Now we need to do this for the other sides
the bottom and top areas are 96 square meters each so we multiply 96 by 2 which is 192
The front and back faces have an area of 18 square meters so we multiply 18 by 2 since there are two faces which are 36
Now we add all the values: 96+192+36 which is 324
So the surface area of the prism is 324 square meters
Y=-2x^2+2x-4. Should be correct

Eli took the fleet of 8 vans for oil changes. All of the vans needed windshield wipers which cost $24 per van. The total bill was $432 . Write an equation to find out what each oil change cost . Solve the equation.
8×24=192-432=240÷8=$30
