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.

A city's population is increasing at a rate of 2% per year.

Mariana [72]

Based on the information the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.) 2.97 million.

Using this formula

P(t) = Population ×(1+ rate)^t

Where:

Population=2 million

rate=2%

time=20 years

Let plug in the formula

P(t) = 2×(1+.02)^20

P(t) = 2×(1.02)^20

P(t) = 2×1.485947

P(t) = 2.97 million

Inconclusion the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.) 2.97 million.

M+3=5:m=? please give me explained

storchak [24]

Answer: M = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: m+3=5

You need to isolate m so you can find its value. Subtract 3 from the left side, and do the same to the right side. Subtracting 3 from 5 as well makes the number become 2 on the right side of the equation. Therefore, m=2.

A rule you should always remember is when you have a value on each side of the equal sign, whatever form of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division should be done to the other side as well.
