Rational numbers can be written as a fraction. They can be integers, whole numbers, natural numbers, repeating decimals, terminating decimals and obviously fractions. Irrational numbers can not be written as a fraction. They are usually non terminating non repeating decimals (like Pi).

Well, the answer to this question would be: A rational number both the numerator and the denominator are whole numbers, but the denominator is not equal to zero. Whereas a irrational number cannot be written in a fraction. Not to mention, a irrational number cannot be expressed in a ratio with two integers. though, I'm no math whizz, I'm 100% sure this is correct :)

I hope this helps, please mark brainliest if it did, thank you and have a AMAZING day! :D

Which quadratic function has a wider graph than y=2x^2?

ioda

so all those quadratics have their parent y = x², which has the graph of a "bowl".

and depending on the coefficient, the bowl is wider or not.

the larger the coefficient, the narrower the bowl, the smaller the coefficient, the wider the bowl.

well, 1/2 is smaller then 2, thus y = (1/2)x² is wider than y = 2x².

What is the area of rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. That is, A = l x w where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

Here, Required Paint = $20 X \frac{37}{4} - 2 X \frac{1}{2}X6 X 6\\$
