\sqrt{2} absolutely can not be written in the form \frac{p}{q} , the value you have given is a approximate value of \sqrt{2} .
The problem may want to tell you any irrational number can be approximately represented by a rational number.

Solve: In 2x + In 2 = 0<br> DONE
pychu [463]

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use some logarithmic rules to solve this easily.

<em>Note: Ln means Log_e</em>

<em />

Now, lets start with the equation:

ln(2x) + ln(2) = 0\\ln(2x) = -ln(2)

Writing left side with logarithmic base e, we have:

Log_{e}(2x) = -ln(2)

We can now use the property shown below to make this into exponential form:

Log_{a}b=x\\means\\a^x=b

So, we write:

Log_{e}(2x) = -ln(2)\\e^{-ln(2)}=2x

We recognize another property of exponentials:

a^{bc}=(a^{b})^{c}

So, we write:

e^{-ln(2)}=2x\\(e^{ln(2)})^{-1}=2x

Also, another property of natural logarithms is:

e^{(ln(a))}=a

Now, we simplify:

(e^{ln(2)})^{-1}=2x\\(2)^{-1}=2x\\\frac{1}{2}=2x\\x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}\\x=\frac{1}{4}

This is the answer.

Does the line whose equation is y=-2x+13 pass through the point (4,5)? Explain how you arrived at
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4 for x, 5 for y. if it equals, then its a point

5 = -2(4) + 13

5 = -8 + 13

5 = 5

it equals so (4,5) is a point

The volume of a cube is 1,728 cubic units. What is the length of one side?
nalin [4]
The volume of a rectangular prism is always LWH=V, the cube is a special prism in that L=W=H are all equal so:

V=s^3  where s is the length of all sides...

s^3=1728

s=1728^(1/3)

s=12 units

The distance around a circular track is 31.4 yards. What Is the radius of the track? Use 3.14 = π and round to the nearest tenth
son4ous [18]

Answer:

r=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle =

Since w are given that the circumference of circle is 31.4 cm

So,

[tex5= r[/tex]

So, radius of given circle is 5 cm

Area of circle =

                      =

                      =

Thus the area of circle is 78.5 sq.cm.

Hence the radius of given circle is 5 cm and the area of the circle is 78.5 sq.cm.
