No, only a rational number is not a fraction or decimal. But any whole number including one with a negative sign.

For example, -1 and 1 could be a integer.

Yes every integer is a rational number, since each integer can be written in the form n/1. For example 5 = 5/1 and thus 5 is a rational number. However, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.

Darryl:
Answer:
A = $1,905.00

(I = A - P = $405.00)

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)

Lori:

Answer:
A = $1,932.00

(I = A - P = $532.00)

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)

Thus $532-$405= $127 more in Lori's account

Soap films and bubbles are colorful because the interference conditions depend on the angle of illumination (which we aren't cov

mylen [45]

Answer:

56.39 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have constructive interference total optical path difference should be an integral number of wavelengths (crest and crest should be interfered). Therefore the constructive interference condition for soap film can be written as,

$2t=(m+\frac{1}{2} ).\frac{\lambda}{n}$

where λ is the wavelength of light and n is the refractive index of soap film, t is the thickness of the film, and m=0,1,2 ...

Please note that here we include an additional 1/2λ phase shift due to reflection from air-soap interface, because refractive index of latter is higher.

In order to have its longest constructive reflection at the red end (700 nm)

$t_1=(m+\frac{1}{2} ).\frac{\lambda}{2.n}\\ \\ t_1=\frac{1}{2} .\frac{700}{(2)*(1.33)}\\ \\ t_1=131.58\ nm$
