Explain square roots

1 answer:

5 0

In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that y2 = x; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y ⋅ y) is x. For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16 because 42 = (−4)2 = 16.

Convert 1/15 into a decimal correct to 2 decimal places

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.\overline{66}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to show the procedure to calculate the given fraction into a decimal form:

1) Since numerator is less than denominator, the integer component of the decimal number is zero:

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.xx$

2) We multiply the numerator by 10 and find the tenth digit:

$\frac{10}{15} = 0$

Then,

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.0xx$

3) We multiply the fraction in 2) by 10 and find the hundredth digit:

$\frac{100}{15} = 6$

Then,

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.66x$

And the remainder is:

$r = 100-15\times 6$

$r = 10$

4) We multiply the remainder by 10 and divide this result by the denominator to determine the thousandth digit:

$\frac{100}{15} = 6$

Then,

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.666$

This question asks us to write a decimal correct to 2 decimal places, which has the characteristic that is infinite periodical decimal. Then, the result correct to 2 decimal places is:

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.\overline{66}$

Solve equation (n-1)(n+6)(n+5)=0

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:
1, -6 and -5

Explanation:
To solve the equation means to get the values of n which satisfy the given equation.
The equation given is:
(n-1) (n+6) (n+5) = 0
This equation will be true if any of the terms (brackets) is equal to zero.
This means that:
either n-1 = 0 .............> n = 1
or n + 6 = 0 ................> n = -6
or n + 5 = 0 ................> n = -5

Hope this helps :)

The flagpole at school casts a shadow that is 18 feet long. A student nearby is 5.5 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 3 feet

azamat

Answer:

33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the student to their shadow and flagpole to its shadow are equal, then you can use the proportion

5.5/3 = x/18 and cross multiply to find x.

5.5 × 18 = 99

3 × x = 3x

3x/3 = x, 99/3 = 33.

x = 33.
