Which number produces an irrational number when multiplied by 1/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
3 0

We can simply observe that.

  1. 0.777... is rational, because it is a number with infinite but repeating decimal part.
  2. 1/3 is rational, because it's the division between two integers
  3. -\sqrt{16}=-4, so this is rational as well.

Since the product of two rational numbers is always rational, we have that

0.\bar{7}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3},\quad \dfrac{1}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3},\quad -4\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}

are all rationals, since they are the product of two rationals.

On the other hand, we have

\sqrt{27}=\sqrt{9\cdot 3}=3\sqrt{3}

and thus

3\sqrt{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}=\sqrt{3}

which is irrational.

64, –48, 36, –27, ...<br><br> Which formula can be used to describe the sequence?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

\boxed{a_n \:  =  \: 64 \:  \times  \: ( -  \frac{3}{4} ) ^{n \:  -  \: 1} }

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We first compute the ratio of this geometric sequence.

r \:  =  \:  \frac{ - 48}{64}  \\  \\ r   \:  =  \:  \frac{36}{ - 48}  \\  \\  r \:  =  \:  \frac{ - 27}{36}

  • We simplify the fractions:

r \:  =  \:   -  \frac{3 }{4}   \\  \\ r   \:  =  \:   -  \frac{3 }{4}  \\  \\  r \:  =  \:    -  \frac{3 }{4}

  • We deduce that it is the common ratio because it is the same between each pair.

r \:  =  \:  -  \frac{3 }{4}

  • We use the first term and the common ratio to describe the equation:

a_1 \:  =  \: 64; \: r \:  =  \:  -  \frac{3 }{4}

<h3>We apply the data in this formula:</h3>

\boxed{a_n \:  =  \: a_1 \:   \times  \:  {r}^{ n \:  -  \: 1} }

_______________________

<h3>We apply:</h3>

\boxed {\bold{a_n \:  =  \: 64 \:   \times  \:  {( -  \frac{3}{4} )}^{ n \:  -  \: 1} }}

igomit [66]

Answer:

Mean = 1.57

Variance=0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mean and the variance of the number of successful surgeries (X), we first have to enumerate the possible outcomes:

1) Both surgeries are successful (X=2).

P(e_1)=0.90*0.67=0.603

2) Left knee unsuccessful and right knee successful (X=1).

P(e_2)=(1-0.9)*0.67=0.1*0.67=0.067

3) Right knee unsuccessful and left knee successful (X=1).

P(e_3)=0.90*(1-0.67)=0.9*0.33=0.297

4) Both surgeries are unsuccessful (X=0).

P(e_4)=(1-0.90)*(1-0.67)=0.1*0.33=0.033

Then, the mean can be calculated as the expected value:

M=\sum p_iX_i=0.603*2+0.067*1+0.297*1+0.033*0\\\\M=1.206+0.067+0.297+0\\\\M=1.57

The variance can be calculated as:

V=\sum p_i(X_i-\bar{X})^2\\\\V=0.603(2-1.57)^2+(0.067+0.297)*(1-1.57)^2+0.033*(0-1.57)^2\\\\V=0.603*0.1849+0.364*0.3249+0.033*2.4649\\\\V=0.1115+0.1183+0.0813\\\\V=0.3111
