First, we obtain the gradient (slope) of the first parallel line
Recall that since both lines are parallel, we have that,
Thus
Hence, we can find the equation of the parallel line given that it passes through the points (-4, -3)
Using
A irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers. That's it.
For examples (in increasing order of difficulty)
1 is a rational number because it is 1/1
0.75 is a rational number because it is equal to 3/4
2.333... (infinite number of digits, all equal to three) is rational because it is equal to 7/3.
sqrt(2) is not a rational number. This is not completely trivial to show but there are some relatively simple proofs of this fact. It's been known since the greek.
pi is irrational. This is much more complicated and is a result from 19th century.
As you see, there is absolutely no mention of the digits in the definition or in the proofs I presented.
Now the result that you probably hear about and wanted to remember (slightly incorrectly) is that a number is rational if and only if its decimal expansion is eventually periodic. What does it mean ?
Take, 5/700 and write it in decimal expansion. It is 0.0057142857142857.. As you can see the pattern "571428" is repeating in the the digits. That's what it means to have an eventually periodic decimal expansion. The length of the pattern can be anything, but as long as there is a repeating pattern, the number is rational and vice versa.
As a consequence, sqrt(2) does not have a periodic decimal expansion. So it has an infinite number of digits but moreover, the digits do not form any easy repeating pattern.
There are 120 different combinations.
There are 5 to use for the first bead; then after it is used, 4 for the second; 3 for the third; 2 for the fourth; and 1 for the fifth and last bead:
5*4*3*2*1 = 120.
Answer:
The first option is correct, 12/30 and 25/30
Step-by-step explanation:
To get common denominators, you need to find the GFC (greatest common factor) of 5 and 6, which is 30. Then you would need to make the fractions equal the same as the original fractions, by multiplying.
2/5 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 6 times more than 5. so this means you multiply 2 by 6 to get 12. 12/30
5/6 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 5 times more than 6. so this means you multiply 5 by 5 to get 25. 25/30
Answer:
1080"
Step-by-step explanation:
12*10= 120
120*9= 1080
