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:

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

What are the first and last terms of this geometric series

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

ANSWER

E. 10 and 640

EXPLANATION

The given series is

$\sum_{i=1}^45 \times 2^{2i-1}$

To find the first term of the series we substitute i=1 to get,

$a_1 = 5 \times {2}^{2 \times 1 - 1}$

$a_1 = 5 \times {2}^{ 1} = 10$

For the last term of the series, we substitute i=4 to obtain,

$a_4 = 5 \times {2}^{2 \times 4 - 1}$

$a_4 = 5 \times {2}^{7}$

This implies that,

$a_4 = 5 \times 128 = 640$

Therefore the correct answer is E

Simplify the following rational expression and express in expanded form.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

D m = $-\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

factor the expressions in the denominator and the numerator to simplify the expression:

=> $\frac{2(-2m + 1)(2m - 1)}{2(2m - 1)(8m + 3)}$

=> $-\frac{2m + 1}{8m + 3}$

to make a fraction undefined, the numerator should be 0, thus, we substitute the values of m from the options into the denominator to make the denominator equals to 0:

=> $-\frac{2m + 1}{8(-\frac{3}{8} ) + 3}$ = $-\frac{2m + 1}{-3 + 3}$ = $-\frac{2m + 1}{0}$

in this case, the values of m from option D make the denominator of the fraction equals 0.

Adult tickets for the school musical are sold for $3.50 and student tickets are sold for $2.50 on a given night 425 tickets were

miskamm [114]

Answer:

3.5x + 2.50y = 1237.50

425 = x + y

Step-by-step explanation:

number of adult tickets: x

number of student tickets: y

3.5x + 2.50y = 1237.50

( value of adult ticket [3.50]* number of adult tickets [x]) + (value of student ticket [2.50] * number of student tickets [y]) = total value (1237.50)

425 = x + y

(number of adult tickets [x]) + (number of student tickets [y]) = total (425)
