Is 9.521521521 rational or irrational
enyata [817]

If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.

9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000

If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.

If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then

1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…

Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:

1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…

999<em>x</em> = 9512

<em>x</em> = 9512/999

If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like

9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…

then the number would be irrational.

Two boats leave the same place at the same time. The first boat heads due north at 10 kilometers per hour. The second boat heads
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

18.87 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.

Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.

Time for which they move = 2.5 hours

To find:

The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.

Solution:

Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.

Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.

Distance = Speed \times Time

Distance\ OA = 10 \times 2.5 = 25\ km

Distance\ OB = 16 \times 2.5 = 40\ km

We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.

AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled \triangle AOB.

According to Pythagorean theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 25^2 + 40^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 2225^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 \approx 47.17\ km

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:

\dfrac{47.17}{2.5} \approx 18.87\ km/hr

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line<br> (-6.-6), (2, -4)<br> The x-intercept is
Marianna [84]

Answer:

x-int = 18

y-int = -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope-intercept form y=mx + b

To find the slope, substitute the two points into the slope formula and solve.

m  = \frac{y2 - y1}{x1 - x1} \\m  = \frac{-4 - (-6)}{2 - (-6)} \\m = \frac{2}{8}\\m= \frac{1}{4}

Substitute a random point (2,-4) and m=1/4 into slope-intercept form

y = mx+b

-4 = 1/4 (2) + b

-4 = 2/4 + b

-4 = 1/2 + b

Isolate b to solve

b = -4 - 1/2

b = -8/2 - 1/2

b = -9/2    <= this is the y-intercept

b is the y-intercept in slope-intercept form

Substitute b= -9/2 and m=1/4 to get the equation of the line.

y = 1/4 x - 9/2

Substitute y for 0 to find the x intercept

y = 1/4 x - 9/2

0 = 1/4 x - 9/2

9/2 = 1/4 x

x = (9/2) / (1/4)

x = (9/2) X (4/1)

x = 36/2

x = 18
