What is Ratios? I am having a hard time understanding what they are.

Mathematics
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another

so lets say you have 2 to 4 that is equivalent to the ratio 1 to 2, that is 2:4 = 1:2. Note also that a fraction is a number that stands for "part of something", so although this ratio can be expressed as a fraction, in this case it does NOT represent "part of something".

Note that the ratio 2 to 4 is said to be equivalent to the ratio 1 to 2, that is 2:4 = 1:2. Note also that a fraction is a number that stands for "part of something", so although this ratio can be expressed as a fraction, in this case it does NOT represent "part of something".

Step-by-step explanation:

If you dont know what equivalent means i will define it

Its like a diviosn problem lets say you have 10/20 to make that a equlivant fravtion you need to divide the top number and the bottom number (numberator and denominator) by the sme number 10/20 ca both be divided by 10 ,so 10 divided by 10 is 1 and 20 divided by 10 is 2 so the new fraction is 1/2.

(10/20=1/2)

Hope that makes sense lol.

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent.
elixir [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Test for convergence or divergence of a series using Comparison test

Function.

Σ Sin(1/n). From n= 1 to n=∞

Comparison test states that

Let, 0 ≤ an ≤ bn

For all n

Then, if

Σbn converges then, Σan converge

Σan diverges then, Σbn diverge

I.e if the small series diverges, then, the big series diverges and if the big series converges then, the small series converges.

Let compare the given function to 1/n

1/n is greater than Sin(1/n)

0 ≤ Sin(1/n) ≤ 1/n

1/n is a positive number and it is always greater than 1.

We know that 1/n diverse from p series

P series says that,

Σ 1/n^p

If p≤1 then the series diverges

If p>1 the series converges

So when we compare this to 1/n, then p is equal to 1, therefore, the series diverges.

Now, comparing this to the comparison thereom

Since, the large series bn diverges, then the smaller series an diverges.

Then,

Σ 1 / n diverges implies that.

Σ Sin(1/n) diverges too

171 +727 round it or compatible numbers to estimate the sum
djyliett [7]
171 is rounded to 200 as it is closest to 200 than 100
and 727 is rounded to 700 as it is closest to 700 than 800
when we add 200 and 700 we get the answer 900
The sum of 171 and 727 is:
171 + 727 = 898
and 898 is rounded to 900 as it is closest to 900 than 800.

If r is the remainder when the positive integer n is divided by 7, what is the value of r?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that When n is divided by 21, the remainder is an odd number.

i.e. n=21m+k where m is an integer and k a positive integer <21

When n is divided by 28, the remainder is 3

n=28c+3, where c is a positive integer

This can be written as

n=4(7c)+3\\n=7(4c)+3

Since n is giving odd remainder when divided by 21,

we get r =3 as n is a multiple of 7 +3
