<span>A rational number can be written in the form:

</span>\frac{p}{q}; \  called \ the \ ratio \\ \\ where \ p \ and \ q \ are \ whole \ numbers<span>

The number $q$ isn't equal to zero because the division by zero is not defined. So we can represent rational numbers by a repeating or terminating decimal, for instance in the following four exercises we have:

</span>\frac{2}{3}=0.6666...=0.\stackrel{\frown}{6} \\ \\ \frac{5}{8}=0.625000...=0.625\stackrel{\frown}{0} \\ \\ \frac{3}{1}=3.000...=3.\stackrel{\frown}{0} \\ \\ \frac{3446}{2475}=1.392323...=1.39\stackrel{\frown}{23}<span>

we know that

A rational number is the quotient of two integers with a denominator that is not zero , and can be represented by a repeating or terminating decimal.

Repeating Decimal is a decimal number that has digits that go on forever

Terminating decimal is a decimal number that has digits that do not go on forever.

examples

\frac{1}{3} = 0.333... (the 3 repeats forever)----> Is a Repeating Decimal

0.25 (it has two decimal digits)----> Is a Terminating Decimal

therefore

the answer is

A rational number can be written as the ratio of one integer to another and can be represented by a repeating or terminating decimal

MrMuchimi

Answer:

y=33

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y = 6x + 9

Remember that

To predict a value for y, when x = 4

substitute the value of x in the equation

so

y= 6(4) + 9=24+9=33

Write a polynomial function with zeros -3,5,8​
klemol [59]

Answer:

x^3-10x^2+x+120

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean roots -3, 5, 8

These happen when we have (x+3)(x-5)(x-8)=0

Expand this

(x^2-2x-15)(x-8)=0

=x^3-2x^2-15x-8x^2+16x+120

=x^3-10x^2+x+120

Solving the equation and something to do with log
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

m= 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we must make the bases equivalent. We can do this by finding the common base which is 5.

We know that 125= 5³ and 25=5², which will help us in this equation. We can rewrite the equation substituting this for the original numbers:

5^{3(2m)} = 5^{2(m+1)} Distribute the exponents to get:

5^{6m} = 5^{2m+2}

Now, we can simply ignore the '5' and solve for 'm':

6m= 2m+2

4m= 2

m= 1/2.
