F is proportional to 1/x^2
distance = x
A reduction of 25 percent = 0.75x
Let’s put this in place of x
F = 1/(0.75x)^2
And simplify
F = 1/0.5625x^2
So you need to find the percentage increase from 1/x^2 to 1/0.5625x^2
So what does 1/x^2 multiply by to give 1/0.5625x^2
Written as an equation it is y/x^2 = 1/0.5625x^2
Multiply both sides by x^2
y = 1/0.5625
y = 1.778 (rounded to 3 decimal points)
So the decimal multiplier is 1.778 and so the percent increase is approximately 77.8%
For this case, the first thing you should do is take into account the irrational number definition.
An irrational number is one that can not be written as the quotient between two whole numbers.
Their number of decimals is unlimited and they are not periodic.
An irrational number within the specified domain is:
π/2 = 1.570796327
Answer:
an example of an irrational number that is less than 2 and greater than 1.5 is:
π/2 = 1.570796327
I still have absolutely no idea how it got that answer. Just move on and accept that the answer is still wrong no matter what
