Answer:

$a.\hspace{3} \frac{6}{38} = 0.15789474\\\\b.\hspace{3} \frac{45}{55} = 0.81818181\\\\c.\hspace{3} \frac{4}{28} = 0.14285714\\\\d.\hspace{3} \frac{35}{28} = 1.25\\\\e.\hspace{3} \frac{1030}{2030} = 0.50738916$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers, expressed as decimal numbers, are obtained from the operation of division between the integer of the numerator and the integer of the denominator. Then:

$a.\hspace{3} \frac{6}{38} = 6\div38 = 0.15789474\\\\ b.\hspace{3} \frac{45}{55} = 45\div55 = 0.81818181\\\\c.\hspace{3} \frac{4}{28} = 4\div28 = 0.14285714\\\\ d.\hspace{3} \frac{35}{28} = 35\div28 = 1.25\\\\ e.\hspace{3} \frac{1030}{2030} = 1030\div2030 = 0.50738916$

name the rational numbers that are not integers from the list below -11,0,57,8.07, sqrt 13, sqrt 4, 2 1/6, -8/45, 1.1919919991..

weqwewe [10]

Sqrt 13 and 1.1919919991... are irrational, meaning that they can't be described in a fraction of one integer over another, like 1/3, 45/44 or 57/107, these numbers are rational. Most irrationals are known constants like e or π, endless non-repeating decimals, or roots of non-perfect numbers like 13, 7, 5 or 2.

Demand for Tablet Computers The quantity demanded per month, x, of a certain make of tablet computer is related to the average u

soldier1979 [14.2K]

$x = f ( p ) = \frac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } } \\\\ \qquad { p ( t ) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \quad ( 0 \leq t \leq 60 ) }$

Answer:

12.0 tablet computers/month

Step-by-step explanation:

The average price of the tablet 25 months from now will be:

$p ( 25) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { 25 } } + 200 \\= \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \times 5 } + 200\\\\=\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 5 } { 8 } } + 200\\p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13}$

Next, we determine the rate at which the quantity demanded changes with respect to time.

Using Chain Rule (and a calculator)

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \dfrac{dx}{dp}\dfrac{dp}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dp}= \dfrac{d}{dp}\left[{ \dfrac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } }\right] =-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}$

$\dfrac{dp}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \right]=-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}\right]$

Recall that at t=25, $p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13} \approx 446.15$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}(25)= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}\times 446.15(810,000-446.15^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt {25} \right]^{-2}25^{-1/2}\right]\\=12.009$
