Answer:
(0,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm really not sure but I'm pretty positive that this is the answer if not than my bad
I assume you mean one that is not rational, such as √2. In such a case, you make a reasonable estimate of it's position, and then label the point that you plot.
For example, you know that √2 is greater than 1 and less than 2, so put the point at about 1½ (actual value is about 1.4142).
For √3, you know the answer is still less than 4, but greater than √2. If both of those points are required to be plotted just make sure you put it in proper relation, otherwise about 1¾ is plenty good (actual value is about 1.7321).
If you are going to get into larger numbers, it's not a bad idea to just learn a few roots. Certainly 2, 3, and 5 (2.2361) and 10 (3.1623) shouldn't be too hard.
Then for a number like 20, which you can quickly workout is √4•√5 or 2√5, you could easily guess about 4½ (4.4721).
They're usually not really interested in your graphing skills on this sort of exercise. They just want you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the magnitude of irrational numbers.
<u>Answer:</u>
Both Sally ans Manny can detail a car in 20.6 min.
<u>Solution:
</u>
Let us assume that together they will take total x minutes to detail the car.
Sally detail the car in 50 min.
So in 1 min sally can detail \left(\frac{1}{50}\right) of the car.
Hence in x min sally can detail \left(\frac{x}{50}\right) of the car.
Manny can detail a car in 35 min.
So in 1 min many can detail \left(\frac{1}{35}\right) of the car.
Hence in x min Manny can detail \left(\frac{x}{35}\right) of the car.
So we can say,
\left(\frac{x}{50}\right)+\left(\frac{x}{35}\right)=1
x\left(\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{35}\right)=1
x\left(\frac{7+10}{350}\right)=1
\left(\frac{17 x}{350}\right)=1
x=\left(\frac{350}{17}\right)=20.5
8
20.6
So, both of them can detail a car in 20.6 min.
