Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A repeating decimal, also known as a recurring decimal, is a decimal number that has a digit or digits that infinitely repeat at regular intervals. Repeating decimals can be tricky to work with, but they can also be converted into a fraction. Sometimes, repeating decimals are indicated by a line over the digits that repeat. The number 3.7777 with 7 repeating, for instance, can also be written as 3.7. To convert a number like this to a fraction, you write it as an equation, multiply, subtract to remove the repeating decimal, and solve the equation. hope this helps

Able, Ben and Cal each played a game able’s score was six times ben’s score, Cale score was a hird time of Able’s score write do

Deffense [45]

Answer:

6:1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = Able's score, b = Ben's score, and c = Cal's score.

Since

Able's score was 6 times Ben's score, that means a = 6b.

Cal's score was a third of Able's score, so that means c = a/3. And since a = 6b, that means c = 6b / 3 = 2b.

Thus, the ratio of Able's score to Ben's score to Cal's score, a:b:c, is 6:1:2, because c is twice as much as b and a is 6 times as much as b.

Etermine two pairs of polar coordinates for the point (2, -2) with 0° ≤ θ < 360°.

Jet001 [13]

To convert from rectangular to polar we will use these 2 formulas:

$r^2=x^2+y^2$ and

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}$ .

The r value found serves as the first coordinate in our polar coordinate, and the angle serves as the second coordinate of the pair. We are told to find 2. Since the r value will always be the same (it's the length of the hypotenuse created in the right triangle we form when determining our angle theta), the angle is what is going to be different in our coordinate pairs. We use the x and y coordinates from the given rectangular coordinate to solve for the r in both our coordinate pairs.

$r^2=2^2+ -2^2$ which gives us an r value of $2\sqrt{2}$ . That's r for both coordinate pairs. Now we move to the angle. Setting up according to our formula we have

$tan\theta =\frac{-2}{2} =-1$ .

This asks the question "what angle(s) has/have a tangent of -1?". That's what we have to find out! Since the tangent ratio is y/x AND since it is negative, it is going to lie in a quadrant where x is negative and y is positive, AND where x is positive and y is negative. Those quadrants are 2 and 4. In QII, x is negative so the tangent ratio is negative here; in QIV, y is negative so the tangent ratio is negative here as well. Now, if we type inverse tangent of -1 into our calculators in degree mode, we get that the angle that has a tangent of -1 is -45. Measured from the positive x axis, -45 does in fact go into the fourth quadrant. However, since the inverse tangent of -1 is -45, we also have a 45 degree angle in the second quadrant. Those are reference angles, mind you. A 45 degree angle in QII has a coterminal angle of 135 degree; a 45 degree angle in QIV has a coterminal angle of 315. If you don't understand that, go back to your lesson on reference angles and coterminal angles to see what those are. So our polar coordinates for that rectangular coordinate are

$(2\sqrt{2},135)$ and
