If you're talking about just the decimal, then yes it is.
If you're talking about 22/7, then it still is.
But if you're talking about pi, then it isn't rational.

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the ratio between two integers; i.e. by division or as a fraction. In this case:
3.142857=\frac{3,142,857}{1,000,000}

Be careful here. \frac{3,142,857}{1,000,000} is very close to \frac{22}{7} (a common approximation for pi) but \frac{22}{7} does not terminate, it repeats while 3.142857 does terminate. Both are rational but they are not equal.

Simplify 5m-2(6m-5)+2<br><br>a. -7m-8<br>b. -7m+12<br>c. 17m+12<br>d. 17m-8
fgiga [73]

The answer is B. -7m+12.


First distribute the -2 to 6m and -5.

5m-2(6m-5)+2

5m+(-2*6m)+(-2*-5)+2

5m+-12m+10+2


After that, combine the like terms.

5m+-12m+10+2

-5m+-12m=-7m

10+2=12


The simplified expression is -7m+12.

1.Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is parallel to AB and passes through Point X. Show all work fo
damaskus [11]
1. Start with y=sx+m and input the slope of the line given, because the two lines are parallel they have the same slope. Then input the X and Y coordinates of point X to get 10=-1/2-5+m and finally solve the equation to get m=-7.5 or -15/2 making slope intercept form Y=-1/2-5-15/2 
2. Follow the same instructions imputing 1/2 in as the slope because it is perpendicular to the line. so you get 10=1/2-5+m. solve to get m=7.5 or 15/2 making the final equation Y=1/2X+15/2

A 12.0-cm segment makes a 108.0-degree angle with a 16.0-cm segment. To the nearest tenth of a cm, find the third side of the tr
Dominik [7]

Begin by using the cosine rule to find the unknown side.

Where a- unknown side, b is 12, c is 16 and angle in between is 108° 

The cosine rule...

        a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosA

            = 12² + 16² - (2×12×16 cos108°)

            = 518.655076

Taking the positive square root...

         a = 22.774 

         a = 22.8 cm nearest tenth
