Answer: Rational Numbers are the Numbers where if p/q, q is not equal to 0 and p is an integer. So according to this questionm denominators can’t have the negative rational numbers. If it has, we need to convert it to standard form, eg:- p/-q = -p/q

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A \ rational  \ number \ is  \ a \ number\ of\ the\ form\ \frac{p}{q}, \\\\where\ p\ and\ q \ are\  integers\  and\  q \ not\  equal \  to\  zero.\\\\That\ means\ q\ can\ take\ any\ number\ positive\ or\ negative\ but\ zero.

The correct answer is:  [C]:  " x² = √32 " .
_________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________
Note:  Working backward,   "(± 4√2)" , squared, equals what value(s)?
_________________________________________________
Note:  We are actually given 2 (TWO) solutions:

  " +4√2" and "–4√2" ; 
_______________________________________
√32 = √8 √4 = √4 √2 √4 = 4√2 ;

- √32 = -1 * √32  =   - 4√2
_______________________________
or:  

√32 = √16 √2  = 4√2 ; 

-1 * √32  =   - 4√2
______________________________________________________
However, BOTH these values, when "squared" (i.e. raised to the exponential power of "two"; will result in the same value— which is:  "32" ; 
_______________________________________________________

 is equal to:  "(4√2)²  = (4)² *(√2)²  =  (4*4) (√2*√2) = 16*2 = " 32 " .

______________________________________________________
√32 = √8 √4 = √4 √2 √4 = 4√2 ;

- √32 = -1 * √32  =   - 4√2
_______________________________
or:  

√32 = √16 √2  = 4√2 ; 

-1 * √32  =   - 4√2
_________________________________________________
          " (4√2)²  =  (4)²  * (√2)²  =  (4 * 4) (√2*√2)  =  16 * 2 = " 32 " .  

         " (-4√2)²  = (-4)²  * (√2)²  = (-4 *-4) (2) = 16 * 2 = " 32 " .
_________________________________________________
The correct answer is:  " 32 <span>" ; which is:  Answer choice:  [D]:  " x</span>² = 32 " .<span>

We know that the answer is: " </span>" {" <span>± 8 "}; since we are dealing with equations that contain "x SQUARED"; that is, " x</span>²"; and when we solve for the 'square root of all values of a [variable raised to an even positive integer] ;

we take the "plus or minus" square root values ;  since the value, "x" could be plus or minus;  since a "negative value" multiplied by a "negative value" is a "positive value" ; 
______________________________________________
So, the correct answer is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  " x² = <span>± 8 " .
______________________________________________
Let us check our answer:  

</span>√32 = √16*√2 = 4√2 ;

– √32  =  – 4√2 ;
________________________________________________
Also, note:
________________________________________________

   
x²  =  32 ;  Solve for "x" ; 

→ Take the square root of "each side" of the equation ; 
     to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→  √(x²)  =  √32 ; 

→  | x |   = √32 ;

→  x = ±   √32 . Yes!

Some steps to construct an angle MNT congruent to angle PQR are listed below. Step 3 is not listed:
Sedbober [7]

To construct an angle MNT congruent to angle PQR:

Steps to construct an angle MNT:

Step 1: Use a compass to draw an arc from point Q which intersects the side PQ at point A and the side QR at point B.

Step 2: Draw a segment NT and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point N which intersects the segment NT at a point X.

Step 3: Adjust the width of the compass to AB, and draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the previous arc drawn from N in a point Y.

Step 4:  Join points N and Y using a straightedge.

Step 5: Angle MNT is the required angle congruent to angle PQR.

Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of 0
siniylev [52]

Complete question is;

Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions 0 if the terminal side of 0 in standard position contains the points(-5,-4).

Answer:

Sin θ = -4/√41

Cos θ = -5/√41

tan θ = 4/5

Cosec θ = (√41)/-4

Sec θ = (√41)/-5

Cot θ = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we are given the point (-5, -4)

These are x and y points.

They will form a triangle and we know that from pythagoras theorem;

x² + y² = r²

Where r is the distance between the point and the origin

Thus;

r² = (-5)² + (-4)²

r² = 25 + 16

r = √41

So, y is the opposite side of the triangle while x is the adjacent side with r being the hypotenuse.

Thus, the trigonometric ratios are;

Sin θ = opp/hyp = -4/√41

Cos θ = adj/hyp = -5/√41

tan θ = opp/adj = -4/-5 = 4/5

Cosec θ = 1/Sin θ = 1/(-4/√41) = (√41)/-4

Sec θ = 1/cos θ = 1/(-5/√41) = (√41)/-5

Cot θ = 1/tan θ = 1/(4/5) = 5/4

Calculate the average rate of change of f(x) = x2 - 1 x - 4 for 2 ≤ x ≤ 6.
Monica [59]
The average rate of change is (total change in f(x))/(total change in x) so

r=(f(6)-f(2))/(6-2)

r=(36-6-4-4+2+4)/4

r=7
