Prove algebraically that 0.5 recurring = 5/9

Mathematics
1 answer:
weeeeeb [17]3 years ago
5 0

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}

A plane is flying at 32, 460 feet. To avoid some turbulence, the plane ascends 1645 feet. It then descends 3/5 of its new height
aleksley [76]

Answer: C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane starts at 32,460 feet.

It then ascends 1645 feet. Ascending means it's going up higher. So we add.

32,460 + 1645 = 34,105 (C)

From here (34,105 feet) the plane descends by 3/5 of it's height. Descending means it's lowering. So we subtract.

But first we have to figure out how much we are subtracting.

3/5 is equal to .6

Multiply to find 3/5 of current height.

34,105 × .6 = 20,463

So the plane descends by 20,463 feet.

34,105 - 20,463 = 13,642 feet (E)

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. -10 - 2 + 6 + 14 + ... + 110
Nimfa-mama [501]
This is the sum of the arithmetic sequence:
 10 - 2 + 6 + 14 + ... + 110
where:  a 1 = - 10, d = 8
a n = 110
a n = a 1 + ( n - 1 ) * d
110 = - 10 + ( n - 1 ) * 8
110 = - 10 + 8 n - 8
110 + 10 + 8 = 8 n
128 = 8 n
n = 128 : 8
n = 16
∑ n = n/2 * ( a 1 + a n ) 
∑ 16 = 16/2 * ( -10 + 110 ) = 8 * 100 = 800
Answer:
The sum is 800.
