Mathematics

If it is irrational, you won’t be able to write it as a ratio.
Also, if you are able to write the fraction as x/y then it is, in fact, rational.

What is 123.5 as a fraction?
Alex787 [66]
123 5/10 becuase everything on the left side of the dcimal is a whole number and everything on the right side is a fraction. The 5 is in the 10 place so the denominator would be 10 and the numerator would be 5. Your answer is 123 5/10 or simplified, 123 1/2

Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 32 mi divided by hr32 mi/hr and the other travels east at 60
TEA [102]

Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is​ increasing is 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.

Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.

Let z represent the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

z² = x² + y²

To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes

2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1

One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that

dx/dt = 32

dy/dt = 60

Distance = speed × time

Since t = 0.5 hour, then

x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles

y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles

z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900

z = √1156

z = 34 miles

Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60

68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600

68dz/dt = 4624

dz/dt = 4624/68

dz/dt = 68 mph

Triangle ABC is shown below.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

C.) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the triangle: angles b and c have the same arch, so they are congruent.

In a triangle, if two angles are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles, having two equal sides.

The sides opposite the congruent angles are congruent:

∠B → opposite side → AC

∠C → opposite side → AB

The sides AB and AC are equal. Make an equation:

AB=AC\\\\2x=3x-7

Simplify the equation, solving for x. Add 7 to both sides:

2x+7=3x-7+7\\\\2x+7=3x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

2x-2x+7=3x-2x\\\\7=x

The value of x is 7. Insert the value of x into the given length of AC:

AC=3(7)-7

Simplify multiplication:

AC=21-7

Subtract:

AC=14

Therefore, the length of the line segment AC is 14.
