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

Mathematics

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.

GaryK [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is as follows :

-59 ,-67 ,-65 ,-53 ,-31 ,...

The first term = -59

The second term = -67

Common difference = second term - first term

=-67-(-59)\\\\=-8

To calculate the second term add (-8).

To calculate each additional term, increase the amount added by -8.

A set of equations is given below:

I would think this is many solutions, the reason is because, there is no specific answer (y) so, x could be anything because it would have to equal to y, which could also be anything! I hope im right! Sorry if im wrong!
