What is the additive identity of rational number​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

zero(0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive identity of a set of number is a number such that the its sum with any of the numbers in the set would give a result that is equal to the number in that set.

In other words, say for example the set of numbers is rational, the additive identity of rational numbers is 0. This is because, given any rational number say <em>x</em>, adding zero to the number <em>x</em> gives the same number <em>x. </em>i.e

x + 0 = x

If x is say 2, then we have;

2 + 0 = 2

Since adding zero to rational numbers gives has no effect on the numbers, then zero (0) is the additive identity of rational numbers.

In a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 22. If the player matches all six numbers, they win 20,000 dollars. Othe
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Total possible number of outcomes = C(24,6) [24 choose 6]

=24!/(6!18!)

= 134596

Out of which there is only one winning combination.

Therefore we conclude:

P(win 20000)=1/134596

P(lose 1)=134595/134596

and hence the expected value is:

20000*(1/134596)+(-1)*(134595/134596)

=-114595/134596

=-0.8514 (rounded to four places after decimal)

An airline is planning its staffing needs for the next year. If a new route is​ approved, it will hire 837 new employees. If a n
dusya [7]

Considering a discrete distribution, it is found that the expected number of new employees to be hired by the​ airline is of 446.16.

<h3>What is the mean of a discrete distribution?</h3>

The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>.

In this problem, considering the situation described in the text, the distribution is given by:

  • P(X = 837) = 0.37.
  • P(X = 199) = 0.63.

Hence, the expected value is given by:

E(X) = 0.37(867) + 0.63(199) = 446.16.

What is the distance between the points (4,-2) and )-5,3)?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given points be the endpoints of a right triangle.  The horizontal change in x is from 4 to -5 and is negative 9; the vertical change in y is from -2 to+ 3 and is +5.

The desired distance is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

d = √(9² + 5²) = √106, or 10.3 (to the nearest tength)

In a word processing document or on a separate piece of paper, use the guide to construct a two-column proof proving AC &gt; EF
VARVARA [1.3K]

<em>Answer:</em>

Complete proof is written below.

Facts and explanation about the segments shown in question :

  1. As BC = EF is a given statement in the question
  2. AB + BC = AC because the definition of betweenness gives us a clear idea that if a point B is between points A and C, then the length of AB and the length of BC is equal to the length of AC. Also according to Segment addition postulate, AB + BC = AC. For example, if AB = 5 and BC= 7 then AC = AB + BC → AC = 12
  3. AC > BC because the Parts Theorem (Segments) mentions that if B is a point on AC between A and C, then AC > BC and AC>AB. So, if we observe the question figure, we can realize that point B lies on the segment AC between points A and C.
  4. AC > EF because BC is equal to EF and if AC>BC, then it must be true that the length of AC must greater than the length segment EF.

Below is the complete proof of the observation given in the question:
