Prove algebraically that 0.5 recurring = 5/9

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.

Let x = 0.555..... → (1)

Multiply both sides by 10, then

10x = 5.555..... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal

(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is

9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = \frac{5}{9}

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

9 ^-5 * 9^-3

When multiplying these we ADD the exponents:

9^-5 * 9^-3

= 9^(-5 + -3)

= 9 ^-8

= 1/9^8  Option A


2.    2^14 / 2^7   This is a division so we SUBTRACT the exponents:-

= 2^(14 - 7)  

= 2^7   (answer)

3.    If the triangle is a right angled one then it will obey Pythagoras Theorem so:-

13^ = x^2 + 5&2

x^2 = 13^2 - 5^2

x^2 = 144

x = 12    (answer)


4.   The last choice is a crucial step.

The total area of the triangles is the same in both large squares so  the area of the large  square e^2 = a^2 + b^2 ( the 2 squares in the left side large square).

Answer:

The word "Of" in an equation is interpreted to be multiplication. Also, you must move the decimal two places to the left to change a percent to a decimal.

1. 20 * .12 = 2.4

2. .3 * 70 = 21

3. 300 * .25 = 75 Blue marbles

4. 40 * .35 = $14
