it's irrational

A rational number can be put over a fraction, while this number continues forever

I will try to make this as simple as possible.

First off, we need to know what a rational number is: A rational number is any number that can be made by dividing 2 integers. For example:

1.5 would be a rational number because 1.5 = 3/2 (3 and 2 are both integers)

With that being said, let's begin.

First off, let's start with -0.3, let's ask ourselves, can we make this number by dividing 2 integers, the answer is yes, we can, by doing we have the equivalent of -0.3, so now we know it's a rational number.

As for the second one, it can't be a rational number because it can't be made by dividing to integers, so the answer is:

-0.3 is a rational number, but 3.14144144414444 is not.

Hope this helped! c:

This is correct, because it takes 27 minutes to get home so it will probably be about 30 minutes.

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luthor. After flying for 6 seconds, he is 2430 meters from her. Then at 12
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

2700.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance would be 2700.

Distance traveled between in 6th second and 12th second is 2430-2160=270 meter. That means Superman covered 270 meter in 6 seconds.

So, now if he is moving at the same speed, he should cover the same distance in first 6 seconds which is 270 meter.

Suppose the whole distance is X when time is 0, and after flying for 6 seconds he now is 2430 meter away. It means that he must have covered the distance of X-2430=270.

Finding for X, we gets the full initial distance, when time was 0.

The simple trick is, once we get the distance he has covered in 6 seconds, we can form the equation like subtracting the whole distance- remaining distance equals to covered distance.

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!
Ugo [173]

Only problem is with the simplifying.

We all know that 5/5 = 1, it is natural to  assume (x+a)/(x+a) is also 1, but in some cases where x+a=0, it is undefined. In this equation, where they simplify (x-2) and (x-6), you must say that x is not 2 nor 6 or, you just delete 0/0 which is undefined.

Therefore the only solution would be x=-1
