Answer:

C. √3

Step-by-step explanation:

When one of the factors is a rational number (0.5), the product will be irrational if, and only if, the other factor is irrational.

Of the numbers offered, only √3 is irrational.

√3 will produce an irrational product when multiplied by 0.5.

The other values are all rational:

A: 4

B: 5/9

D: 1/3

Answer:

D. - 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

M + 2/3 = 1/2

M = 1/2 - 2/3

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{6} - \frac{4}{6} = -\frac{1}{6}$

There are 100 bacteria in a jar. Every day, the number of bacteria increases 25%. In approximately how many days will there be 5

algol [13]

Use compound interest formula

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P(1+r/100)^t=500$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 100(1+0.25)^t=500$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (1.25)^t=5$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow log(1.25)^t=log5$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow tlog1.25=log5$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t(0.097)=0.3$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t=3.3\approx 3$

Katie gives Maggie half of her pencils. Maggie keeps 5 pencils and gives the rest to Jamil. A. Write an expression for the numbe

Alexandra [31]

Here's what I mean when I write x/2 JUST IN CASE.

а.

Let the total number of pencils be x, then this implies that Maggie received x/2 pencils from Katie. Maggie keeps 5 and give the rest to Jamil, this means

that Jamil receives

x/2-5 pencils.

b. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5

Substitute x=16 in this expression: x/2-5

Simplify and evaluate: = 8-5= 3

Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5 to

Equate this expression with 1 to form an equation and solve for x all, the total

number of pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil:

x/2 - 5 = 1

Solve for x:

x = 2(1+ 5)

Evaluate:

x = 2(6) = 12

Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

RESULT

a. Expression of number of pencils given to Jamil is x/2-5, where x is total number of pencils.

b. Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

(0, 1) , (4, 2) equation in slope intercept form

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

2=1/4(4+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

(0,1), (4,2)

first, find the slope

slope formula- (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

plug in the coordinates

(2-1)/(4-0)

subtract

1/4

slope=1/4

slope intercept form- y=mx+b

choose one of the coordinates to plug in

(4,2)

plug it in

2=1/4(4+b)
