Answer:

The similarities between rational and irrational numbers are defined below,

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational Numbers: The numbers which can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0.

Irrational Numbers: The number which can't be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ are called irrational numbers.

The similarities between rational and irrational numbers are:

1. Both rational and irrational numbers are belong to real numbers.

2. There exist rational numbers between any two rational numbers similarly there exist irrational numbers between any two irrational numbers.

3. The sum of two rational numbers is a rational number and the sum of two irrational numbers is an irrational number.

4. The difference of two rational numbers is a rational number and the difference of two irrational numbers is an irrational number.

Rational number are numbers which can be expressed in a ratio of two integers. Both numerator and denominator are whole numbers<span>, where the denominator is not equal to zero.</span>
An irrational number<span> on the other hand is a </span>number which cannot be expressed in a ratio of two integers. However there are similarities between them. For example: the product of both irrational numbers of born rational numbers can be rational number, both irrational and rational numbers can be negative and positive, and both can be expressed as a fraction.

-V35 is it an irrational number

AnnZ [28]

Yes, it is an irrational number because it can’t be written as a fraction

Negative square root of 35 is about -5.92, it can’t be written as a fraction

Rational number: can be written as a fraction
Irrational number: can’t be written as a fraction

I hope this helps!

A baseball is thrown into the air from the top of a 224-foot tall building. The baseball's approximate height over time can be r

antoniya [11.8K]

The function is $h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 224$ , and according to the description of the function in the problem statement, we have the following:

at t=0 after being thrown (that is, at initial time), the height of the ball is calculated by h(0) as follows:

$h(0) = -16(0)^2 + 80(0) + 224=0+0+224=224$ (ft), which is the initial height, as expected.

At t=1 (sec), the height would be $h(1) = -16(1)^2 + 80(1) + 224=-16+80+224=288$ .

etc.

The path is parabolic, as we know by seeing that the function is a quadratic polynomial function. This function has been given in factored form as well. From that we can see that the zeros of the function are t=7 and t=-2.

This means that at t=7 sec, the height h is 0, which means that the ball has hit the ground. t=-2 has no significance in the context of our problem so we just neglect it.

Answer: B) 7 sec

Find an equation for the line perpendicular to y=-1/2x+4 and goes through the point (-1,10)

Artemon [7]

The slope of the perpendicular line will be 2. Remember, a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal.

So, we can make the equation $y=2x+b$ . We need to find b, and put b in.

To find b, put in the numbers of y and x.

$10=2(-1)+b$

Solve for b:

$10=-2+b\\b=10+2\\b=12$

Now replace b in the original equation with 12 and that will be the answer:

The answer is $y=2x+12$ .

Using 6 as a denominator, what fraction completes the following

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by converting 1 into 6/6 and 1/3 into 2/6. This makes subtraction much easier, and by subtracting the numerators, (6/6 - 2/6) you should get 4/6.
