Answer:

.333333... can be expressed as 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is defined as:

<em>any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. </em>

aka, any number that you can express as a fraction.

Any person who has spent enough time in math should be familiar with the fact that the thirds (aka 1/3, 2/3) are repeating decimals, but are rational numbers as they can be written as whole number fractions.

If you didn't know this, don't worry. You'll get it soon enough.

Hope this helped!

The equation of a parabola is y=x^2-10x+27. Write the equation in vertex form

azamat

Answer:

$\large \boxed{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² - 10x + 27

y = ax² + bx + c

This is the general form of the equation for a parabola.

We must convert it to the vertex form

y = (x - h)² + k, where (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex.

We can do this by completing the square.

$\begin{array}{rcll}y & = & x^{2} - 10x + 27 & \\y - 27 & = & x^{2} - 10x & \text{Subtracted 27 from each side}\\y - 27&= & x^{2} - 10x + 25 - 25 & \text{Added and subtracted (b/2)}^{2}\\y - 27&= & (x - 5)^{2} - 25 & \text{Wrote the first three terms as the square of a binomial}\\y& = & \mathbf{(x - 5)^{2} + 2} & \text{Added 27 to each side}\\\end{array}\\\text{The vertex form of the parabola is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }}$}$ The figure below shows that your parabola has its vertex at (5,2).

Jamal wrote that 9 – 8.4 = 6

iragen [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

9 and 8.4 are less than 1 apart, so 9-8.4 must be less than 1. The actual difference is 9-8.4=0.6 which verifies that our answers are true since 0.6<1.
