Why mathematicians use radicals instead of decimals?

1 answer:

8 0

Mathematicians use radicals instead of decimals to provide a more accurate answer. For example, √14 would be a never ending decimal, but rounded it would be 3.74165738677. So do most imperfect squares such as √2 or √8. To get a more accurate number for an answer, it is better to use radicals as rounded numbers would not get the exact answer.

If a coin is flipped 10 times, what is the probability that it will show all heads or all tails? A 1/2 B 1/512 C 1/1022 D 1/1024

Ksju [112]

The probability of multiple events happening is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event together. This is the case if each event is independent of the other events.

For a fair coin, the probability of tails is 1/ 2 or 0.5, so the probability of all tails in 10 tosess is (1/2)^10 = 1/1024 = 0.0009765625

Let a = 6.

PIT_PIT [208]

There are two ways you can do this. The first is to plug in the answers and check to see if they are true or false, the other way is to multiply 2 by 6 and then add 4. the answer is B 16, the reason is 2*6 is 12 + 4 is 16. However using the other method is not the best way to do it for the other way. This is because 48 and 30 are multiples of 6
