Answer:

11.5 is a rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's see the definition of rational and irrational.

Rational number is a number that can be written in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where q≠0.

There rational numbers have the terminating or non terminating decimals with repeating the pattern.

For example: $\frac{1}{3} = 0.33333.....$

You can see that 3 is repeating non terminating decimals.

Irrational number is a number with non repeating decimals.

For example: $\frac{22}{7} = 3.142857...$

The given number is 11.5 which is terminating decimal number.

Therefore, 11.5 is a rational number.

In your own words, write a verbal expression for the following algebraic expression. 18p

maxonik [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

18p is a multiplication expression in itself.

It could be written as 18 x p. I am confused on what you mean as 'verbal' so i'm gonna take a wild guess and say word form.

eighteen times p???

Sorry if it's wrong.

pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

kaheart [24]

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

Step 1

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 2

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

Step 3

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 4

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.
