Can a number be both rational and irrational

natulia [17]

A rational number is a number which can be expressed as a fraction whose numerator and denominator are both integers and whose denominator is not equal to zero. Rational numbers include all integers, fractions, mixed numbers, and some decimal numbers.

Note : All terminating and repeating decimal numbers are rational numbers because those numbers can be expressed as a fraction. On the other hand, a non repeating number and non terminating decimal, like square root of 2, is an irrational number.

On the last day of school, Mrs. Awesome gave jelly beans to her class. She gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys

professor190 [17]

Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of girls in the class. There were two more boys than girls in her class, then the number of boys is x + 2.

Mrs. Awesome gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys in the class, so each of x + 2 boys got x + 2 jelly beans, so

Number of boys = x + 2

Number of jelly beans each boy got = x + 2

Total number of jelly beans all boys got = (x + 2)(x + 2)

Mrs. Awesome gave each girl as many jelly beans as there were girls in the class, so each of x girls got x jelly beans, so

Number of girls = x

Number of jelly beans each girl got = x

Total number of jelly beans all girls got = (x)(x)

Hence,

Total number of jelly beans class got = (x + 2)(x + 2) + (x)(x)

Mrs. Awesome brought 400 jelly beans, and when she finished, she had six jelly beans left, so she gave 400 - 6 = 394 jelly beans to the calss.

So,

$(x+2)(x+2)+(x)(x)=394\\ \\x^2+2x+2x+4+x^2=394\\ \\2x^2+4x+4-394=0\\ \\2x^2+4x-390=0\\ \\x^2+2x-195=0\\ \\D=2^2-4\cdot (-195)=4+780=784\\ \\\sqrt{D}=28\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-2\pm 28}{2\cdot 1}=-15,\ 13$
