Answer:
Hey again! Just remember about the number lines. If it's easier, you can use a calculator to divide the fractions to make them easier to visualize in decimal form.
The answer to this one is:
-2.4
-2.25
-11/5 (which is -2.2)
-15/10 (1.5)
-1.6
Note: This is a perfect application for equations of ratios.
50 40
------- = ------- and so 50x = 1200, or 5x = 120, or x = 24 (miles).
30 x
Use Pythagorean theorem to solve.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + b ^2 = 14^2
36 + b^2 = 196
Subtract 36 from both sides.
b^2 = 196-36
b^2 = 160
Take the square root of both sides.
b = sqrt 160
As a decimal
b = 12.649
As a simplified radical
b = 4sqrt10
Answer:
"The product of a rational number and an irrational number is SOMETIMES irrational." If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational
A better statement would be:
"The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational
Fractions are basically divisions.
Ex. 2/4 = 1/2
And whole numbers like 10, get greater when raised to an exponent.
Ex. 10^2 = 100
