Answer:

No, the answer (1.77777777778) would be irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. A number that cannot be expressed that way is irrational. For example, one third in decimal form is 0.33333333333333 (the threes go on forever).

So if we were to solve this problem, we would end up with 1.77777777778

-16/-9 = 1.77777777778

We can now confirm that this number is irrational based on our knowledge of rational numbers and numbers.

A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center. (a) a certain college team has on its roster
julsineya [31]

1 . Consider lineups without x. You have to select

  • 2 guards from 5 quards;
  • 2 forwards from 3 forwards;
  • 1 center from 4 centers.

It can be made in

C_5^2\cdot C_3^2\cdot C_4^1=10\cdot 3\cdot 4=120 different ways.

2. Consider lineups with x as guard. You have to select

  • 2 guards from 6 quards (one of them must be x);
  • 2 forwards from 3 forwards;
  • 1 center from 4 centers.

It can be made in

C_5^1\cdot C_3^2\cdot C_4^1=5\cdot 3\cdot 4=60 different ways.

3. Consider lineups with x as forward. You have to select

  • 2 guards from 5 quards;
  • 2 forwards from 4 forwards (one of them must be x);
  • 1 center from 4 centers.

It can be made in

C_5^2\cdot C_3^1\cdot C_4^1=10\cdot 3\cdot 4=120 different ways.

Therefore, the total number of different lineups is

120+60+120=300.

GRAVITY The height above the ground of a ball thrown up with a velocity of 96 feet per second from a height of 6 feet is 6+96t-1
Nata [24]
Here the time function is h(t) = [6 + 96t - 16t^2] feet.

The initial height of the ball is 6 feet.  That's when t=0.  h(0)=[6+0-0] ft = 6 ft.

At t=7 sec, h(t) = [6 + 96t - 16t^2] feet becomes
       h(7 sec) = h(t) = [6 + 96(7) - 16(7)^2] feet       This produces a large negative number (-106 ft), which in theory indicates that the ball has fallen to earth and burrowed 106 feet into the soil.  Doesn't make sense.

Instead, let t=1 sec.    Then h(1 sec) = h(t) = [6 + 96(1) - 16(1)^2] feet
                                                                     =[6 + 96 -16] ft, or 86 ft.

One sec after the ball is thrown upward, it reaches a height of 86 feet.  It continues to rise, slowing down, until it finally stops for an instant and then begins to fall towards earth.

Jackie rolled a number cube 20 times. She rolled an odd number 8 times. What is the experimental probability, and what is Theore
V125BC [204]
Based on the information given...

Experimental - how many times something occurs over how many times experiment is done

Odd number rolled - 8 times

Total times done - 20

This would mean the experimental probability is 8/20

Theoretical - favorable outcomes over possible outcomes

On a 6 sided number cube, you have 3 chances of rolling an odd, over 6 possible roll outcomes

This would mean the theoretical probability is 3/6 or 1/2
