What do they call a number that goes on forever?

You could say infinity, or infinite, but recurring is most used. for example, 3/10 converted to a percentage would be 33%, but as 33 × 3 doesn't go into 100 fully, we say 33.33% or 33.333%. the ".3"s could go on forever, which is why it's recurring.

I believe they call it a recurring number, for example, infinity is a recurring number.

A family owns two businesses that made a combined profit of $$$10 million in the previous financial year, with business B making

Archy [21]

Answer:

The equation to find the profit made by business combined is $x+4x = 10$ .

Business A made $2 million profit and Business B made $8 million profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Profit made in previous financial year = $10 million

We need to write an equation to find the profit made by the business.

Solution:

Let the profit (in millions) made by business A be 'x'.

Let the profit (in millions) made by business B be 'y'.

Now given:

business B making 4 times as much profit as business A.

so we can say that;

$y =4x$

Now we know that;

Profit made in previous financial year is equal to sum of profit (in millions) made by business A and profit (in millions) made by business B.

framing in equation form we get;

$x+y =10\ million$

Substituting the value of y in above equation we get;

$x+4x = 10$

Hence The equation to find the profit made by business combined is $x+4x = 10$ .

On Solving above equation we get;

$5x =10\\\\x =\frac{10}{5} = \$2 \ million$

profit (in millions) made by business A = $\$2 \ million$

profit (in millions) made by business B = $4x =4\times 2 =\$8 \ million$

Hence Business A made $2 million profit and Business B made $8 million profit.

Weights of the vegetables in a field are normally distributed. From a sample Carl Cornfield determines the mean weight of a box

pantera1 [17]

To find the z-score for a weight of 196 oz., use

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{196-180}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2$

A table for the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution (see picture) gives the area 0.9772 BELOW the z-score z = 2. Carl is wondering about the percentage of boxes with weights ABOVE z = 2. The total area under the normal curve is 1, so subtract .9772 from 1.0000.

1.0000 - .9772 = 0.0228, so about 2.3% of the boxes will weigh more than 196 oz.

Consider the figure.<br> What is JL?

lisov135 [29]

The answer for the above mentioned problem is JL = 12.5

Step by step explanation:

Given:

JM = 8

KM = 6

To Find:

JL = ?

Formula to be used:

$KM^2$ = JM x ML

In order to find " JL" we must first find "ML",

$KM^2$ = JM x ML

$6^2$ = 8 x ML

36 = 8 x ML

36/8 = ML

ML = 4.5

Now JL = 4.5+8

= 12.5

Thus the value of JL = 12.5
