Explain why you think it is or is not possible to give the exact length of the circumference as a decimal.

Mathematics

Naddik [55]4 years ago

Answer:

It is not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

How exact is exact? Since the circumference of a circle depends on pi, you have to discuss the nature of pi. C = pi * the diameter.  

You are getting to a place where the air is pretty thin when you start dealing with pi. Pi has an infinite number of digits associated with it. Not only that, but if I were to tell you what the 100th digit was, you would have a random chance of figuring out what the 99th digit was or the 101 digit should be, that's only to the hundredth digit. The circumference would go beyond what we can measure with the thousandth digit.

In addition, pi is an irrational number. That means it cannot be represented by any kind of a fraction.

The value of the cumulative standardized normal distribution at z is 0.8770. what is the value of​ z?
Vinvika [58]
<span>The value of z is 0.8770. This answer was derived from information in the question, which states that the value of z is 0.8770. Granted, I don't understand what is meant by "cumulative standardized normal distribution." I only passed statistics because the professor felt sorry for me.</span>

What is the inverse of the function shown?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The inverse is y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + c

In this case , the y-intercept is -5

So the partial equation is;

y = mx - 5

To get m, we use the x-intercept

The x-intercept coordinate is (5,0)

Insert this in the equation , we have;

0 = 5m-5

5m = 5

m = 5/5

m= 1

The equation of the line is thus;

y = x-5

So we want to find the inverse of this;

Replace x with d

y = d-5

Make d the subject of the formula

d = y + 5

replace d with x

x = y + 5

now replace x with y

So we have

y = x + 5

K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.
Sergeu [11.5K]
Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25
