Which answer lists these numbers in order from least to greatest? -24.8,142,1.13,-2.81,24.1

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is a. -24.8, -2.81, 1.13, -2.81, 24.1

This is because the larger a negative number is, the lower its value is. So, when putting numbers from least to greatest, you put the largest negative numbers first, and then work your way up to zero. Then, you start counting upwards with your positive numbers.

In the diagram below, ST is parallel to PQ. If ST is 4 more than PS,SR = 12, and PQ = 15, find the length of PS. Figures are not

Tpy6a [65]

Since segments ST and PQ are parallel, triangles SRT and PRQ are similar due to the AAA postulate. In general, the ratio between the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is constant; therefore,

$\frac{SR}{PR}=\frac{RT}{RQ}=\frac{TS}{QP}$

Furthermore,

$PS=PR-RS$

Finding PR and RS,

$\begin{gathered} ST=4+PS \\ SR=12 \\ PQ=15 \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{TS}{15}$ $\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PS+12}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \end{gathered}$

Solving for PS,

$\begin{gathered} 12\cdot15=(PS+12)(PS+4) \\ \Rightarrow180=PS^2+16PS+48 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation in terms of PS, as shown below

$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow PS^2+16PS-132=0 \\ \Rightarrow PS=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt[]{16^2-4(-132)}}{2}=\frac{-16\pm28}{2} \\ \Rightarrow PS=-22,6 \end{gathered}$

And PS is a segment; therefore, it has to be positive.

Hence, the answer is PS=6

Which statement is correctly written as a conditional statement?

bekas [8.4K]

The statement that correctly written as a conditional statement is; A number, such as 10, is a composite number because it is even. so the correct option is D.

<h3>What are natural numbers, rational numbers, integers and irrational numbers?</h3>

Natural numbers are: 1, 2, 3, ....

Integer numbers are: ...., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ... (so it includes positive and negative natural number, and 0 )

Rational numbers are numbers which can be written in the form of a/b

where a and b are integers.

Irrational numbers are those real numbers which are not rational numbers.

Here, Know that all natural numbers are integers, all integers are rational numbers. That means, natural numbers are not irrational.

A composite number is a number divisible by another number than 1 and the number itself.

To find example, a sum of two composite numbers, which is not a composite number, is needed.

The statement that correctly written as a conditional statement is; A number, such as 10, is a composite number because it is even.

Hence so the correct option is D.

4 What is the number if 61 is 3 less than 8 times the number?

Mrrafil [7]

If 61 is less than 8 times the number then the number is 8.

Given 61 is 3 less than 8 times the number.

Let the number be 'x'.

The term "polynomial" in mathematics refers to a mathematical statement that consists of two or more algebraic terms that are added, subtracted, or multiplied (no division!). Constants and positive exponents are frequently used, together with at least one variable, in polynomial formulas.

we can write the equation as:

8x ₋₋ 3 = 61

arranging the like terms i.e constants.

8x = 61 ₊ 3

8x = 64

to find the value of x, divide 64 by 8.

x = 64 ÷ 8

x = 8

hence the number we get after solving the equation is 8.
