Answer:

In decimal form, the value of pi is approximately 3.14. But pi is an irrational number, meaning that its decimal form neither ends (like 1/4 = 0.25) nor becomes repetitive (like 1/6 = 0.166666...). (To only 18 decimal places, pi is 3.141592653589793238.)May 17, 1999

Answer:

(a) and (b) are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

Select the correct options

A clock is divided into two equal parts.

(1) 1 - 6

(2) 7 - 12

When the hour hand is on (1), then the time is "after"

When the hour hand is on (2), then the time is "before"

From the attached clock, we have:

(1) The hour hand on 9

(2) The minute hand 1 unit above 9 i.e. 46 minutes

(1) implies that, the time is before 9 i.e. past 8

(2) implies that the minutes is (60 - 46) before 9 or 46 minutes after 8

In (1) and (2) above, we have two interpretations.

1: (60 - 46) minutes before 9

This gives:

14 minutes before 9

2: 46 minutes past 8

i.e. 8 : 46

X/5 -8=4 find the value of x

elena-s [515]

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant this: (x/5)-8=4

In which case you would add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the left (your goal is to get x by itself so you want to move the numbers on the x side to the other side of the equal sign)

(x/5)=12

Then you would multiply 5 on both sides to get rid of the fraction with the 5 on the bottom on the left side.

x=60

There's your answer.

QUICK EASY 25 POINTS!!

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

1. leave the radical symbol and don't try to convert it to a decimal form

2. The approximated value differs from the exact solution and doesn't give a true equation.

3. Depending on the case, if she needs a mathematical answer, the exact value should be used, but for more practical applications, the rounded decimal form would be more usable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The step by step solution to the equation:

$4x^3=756\\x^3=\frac{756}{4} =189\\x=\sqrt[3]{189} \\x=\sqrt[3]{3^3*7} \\x=3*\sqrt[3]{7}$

1.- Exact solution means that if in the final step when solving for x the value of $x^3$ is not a perfect cube, one needs to leave it indicated as a radical expression (with the radical symbol).

in our case, the cubic root of 189 is not a perfect cube. The factor form of 189 is: $3^3*7$ , so there is a perfect cube factor ( $3^3$ ), but the other factor (7) is a prime number. Therefore 3 can get out of the root, while 7 stays inside.

2.- The equation was solved above, in exact form. Now to solve it giving a decimal approximation, we use a calculator to find the cubic root of 7, which is an irrational number with infinite number of decimals, the first of which we type here: $\sqrt[3]{7} = 1.91293118...$

Therefore, the decimal approximation to the solving for x would be:

$x=3*\sqrt[3]{7}=3*1,91293118...=5.73879...=5.74$

Where we rounded to two decimals as requested.

When we replace the exact answer in the original expression, we get a perfect equality:

$4*x^3=756\\4* (3\sqrt[3]{7} )^3=756\\4*3^3*(\sqrt[3]{7} )^3=756\\4*27*7=756\\\\756=756$

While if we use the approximate answer, we get:

$4*x^3=756\\\\4*(5.74)^3=756\\\\4*189.119224=756\\756.476896=756$

which is NOT a true equality.

3.- I would stick with the idea of showing the exact answer as answer to the mathematical equation. but for a practical case (for example she needs to by some material as a result of her equation solving, it would be more practical to take the numerical approximation to the store, instead of a cubic root of a number.

A factory uses 1/6 of a barrel of raisins in each batch of granola bars. Yesterday, the factory used 1/2 of a barrel of raisins.

balu736 [363]

1/6 = 1 batch, 2/6 = 2 batches and so on

if the factory used 1/2, the factory used 3/6 of a barrel, which equals to 3 batches.

hope it helps :)

Write the equation of the line that has a slope of -4 and goes through (3,-3)

Sindrei [870]

The functional equation of the line is f (x)=a*x+b
you have already a: -4 -->f (x)=-4 x+b
Now you can use the point (3;-3)
3 is the x-coordinate and -3 the f (x)-coordinate
--> -3 = -4*(3) + b Now you can solve it
-3 = -12+b (+12)
b = 9
ANSWER: f (x) = -4x + 9
