Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Integers: Integers are the set of whole number and the negatives of the natural numbers, i.e, … ,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...

Rational number: A number is said to be rational, if it is in the form of p/q. Where p and q are integer and denominator is not equal to 0.The decimal expansion of rational numbers may terminate or become periodic.

Irrational number: A number is irrational if it cannot be expressed be expressed by dividing two integers. The decimal expansion of Irrational numbers are neither terminate nor periodic.

Now consider the provided statement "Negative numbers are integers."

The statement is incorrect as all negative numbers are not integers they might be rational number or irrational numbers.

For example: -2.5 is a negative number but it is not an integer. The number is a rational number.

Hence, her statement is incorrect.

She can say that all negative whole numbers are integers.

Um litro de suco é dividido entre três amigos. O primeiro fica com 14 do todo, o segundo fica com 1/3 do total e o terceiro fica

kkurt [141]

Answer:

a) 1/24 do total

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

The total is 1.

The first friend gets 1/4 of the total.

The second friend gets 1/3 of the total

The third friend gets 3/8 of the total.

The remaining is x.

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{3}{8} + x = 1$

The least common multiple between 4, 3 and 8 is 24. So

$\frac{6 + 8 + 3*3 + 24x}{24} = 1$

$23 + 24x = 24$

$24x = 1$

$x = \frac{1}{24}$

So the correct answer is:

a) 1/24 do total

A metal worker has several 1-kilogram bars of a metal alloy that contain 23% copper and several 1-kilogram bars that contain 79%

astraxan [27]

Answer:

30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 1 kg 23% copper bars, and y is the number of 1 kg 79% copper bars, then:

x + y = 48

0.23x + 0.79y = 0.44(48)

Substituting and solving:

0.23x + 0.79(48-x) = 0.44(48)

0.23x + 37.92 - 0.79x = 21.12

16.8 = 0.56x

x = 30

y = 48 - x

y = 18

You need 30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars.

A linear function graph has a dotted diagonal line passing through the x-axis at (3, 0), and the y-axis at (0, minus 2) In the f

Delicious77 [7]

The graph which best represents the new function is a linear function on a coordinate plane as shown in the image below.

<h3>How to determine the graph of the new function?</h3>

First of all, we would determine the slope of the linear function as follows:

$Slope, m = \frac{Change\;in\;y\;axis}{Change\;in\;x\;axis}\\\\Slope, m = \frac{y_2\;-\;y_1}{x_2\;-\;x_1}\\\\Slope, m = \frac{-2\;-\;0}{0\;-\;3}$

Slope, m = ⅔.

Multiplying by -4, the new slope is:

Slope = ⅔ × -4

Slope = -8/3 or 2.7.

For the equation of this line, we have:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 0 = -8/3(x - 3)

y - 0 = -8/3x + 8

y = -8/3x + 8

Decreasing the y-value by 1, we have:

y = -8/3x + 8

y = -8/3x + 8 - 1

y = -8/3x + 7

Therefore, we would have a linear function on a coordinate plane as shown in the image attached below.
