Write 0.216 as a rational number in lowest terms

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$=\frac{27}{125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.216$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:and\:divide\:by\:10\:for\:every\:number\:after\:the\:decimal\:point.}$

$\mathrm{There\:are\:}3\mathrm{\:digits\:to\:the\:right\:of\:the\:decimal\:point,\:therefore\:multiply\:and\:divide\:by\:}1000$

$=\frac{0.216\cdot \:1000}{1000}$

$=\frac{216}{1000}$

$216,\:1000$

$\mathrm{The\:GCD\:of\:}a,\:b\mathrm{\:is\:the\:largest\:positive\:number\:that\:divides\:both\:}a\mathrm{\:and\:}b\mathrm{\:without\:a\:remainder}$

$2,\:3\mathrm{\:are\:all\:prime\:numbers,\:therefore\:no\:further\:factorization\:is\:possible}$

$=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:3\cdot \:3\cdot \:3$

$2,\:5\mathrm{\:are\:all\:prime\:numbers,\:therefore\:no\:further\:factorization\:is\:possible}$

$=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:5\cdot \:5\cdot \:5$

$\mathrm{The\:prime\:factors\:common\:to\:}216,\:1000\mathrm{\:are\:}$

$=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2=8$

$=8$

$=\frac{8\cdot \:27}{8\cdot \:125}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:8$

$=\frac{27}{125}$

Hence, the correct answer is $=\frac{27}{125}$

A sample of gold has a mass of 579 g. The volume of the sample is 30 cm3. What is the density of the gold sample?

Ugo [173]

The density of the gold sample is 19.3g/cm³

Let the mass of the gold sample be represented by m

m = 579 g

Let the volume of the gold sample be represented by V

V = 30 cm³

Let the density of the gold sample be represented by ρ

The formula for the density is:

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} \\\rho = \frac{579}{30} \\\rho = 19.3 g/cm^3$

The density of the gold sample is 19.3g/cm³

Show that x+y:x-y=3:2

ycow [4]

We have,

x+y:x-y=3:2

To prove that, x+ y : x - y = 3:2.

x+y=3

And,

x+y = 2

Adding (1) and (2), we get

x+y+x-y=3+2

⇒2x=5

⇒ x =

Put x = in (1), we get

+y=3

⇒ y=3-=

x+y:x-y=

=3:2

So, x+y:x-y=3:2.

Is (x+5) a factor of f(x)=x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x + 7? use either the remainder theorem or the factor theorem to explain your reasoning.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use synthetic division</u>

-5 | 1 -4 3 7

____<u>-5 45 -240</u>

1 -9 48 | -233

Since the remainder is not 0, then x+5 is not a factor of the polynomial

The point P(7, −2) lies on the curve y = 2/(6 − x). (a) If Q is the point (x, 2/(6 − x)), use your calculator to find the slope

NARA [144]

Answer:

a) (i) $m = 2.22$ , (ii) $m = 2$ , (iii) $m = 2$ , (iv) $m = 2$ , (v) $m = 1.82$ , (vi) $m = 2$ , (vii) $m = 2$ , (viii) $m = 2$ ; b) $m \approx 2$ ; c) The equation of the tangent line to curve at P (7, -2) is $y = 2\cdot x + 12$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The slope of the secant line PQ is represented by the following definition of slope:

$m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_{Q}-y_{P}}{x_{Q}-x_{P}}$

(i) $x_{Q} = 6.9$ :

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.9}$

$y_{Q} = -2.222$

$m = \frac{-2.222 + 2}{6.9-7}$

$m = 2.22$

(ii) $x_{Q} = 6.99$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.99}$

$y_{Q} = -2.020$

$m = \frac{-2.020 + 2}{6.99-7}$

$m = 2$

(iii) $x_{Q} = 6.999$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.999}$

$y_{Q} = -2.002$

$m = \frac{-2.002 + 2}{6.999-7}$

$m = 2$

(iv) $x_{Q} = 6.9999$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.9999}$

$y_{Q} = -2.0002$

$m = \frac{-2.0002 + 2}{6.9999-7}$

$m = 2$

(v) $x_{Q} = 7.1$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.1}$

$y_{Q} = -1.818$

$m = \frac{-1.818 + 2}{7.1-7}$

$m = 1.82$

(vi) $x_{Q} = 7.01$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.01}$

$y_{Q} = -1.980$

$m = \frac{-1.980 + 2}{7.01-7}$

$m = 2$

(vii) $x_{Q} = 7.001$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.001}$

$y_{Q} = -1.998$

$m = \frac{-1.998 + 2}{7.001-7}$

$m = 2$

(viii) $x_{Q} = 7.0001$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.0001}$

$y_{Q} = -1.9998$

$m = \frac{-1.9998 + 2}{7.0001-7}$

$m = 2$

b) The slope at P (7,-2) can be estimated by using the following average:

$m \approx \frac{f(6.9999)+f(7.0001)}{2}$

$m \approx \frac{2+2}{2}$

$m \approx 2$

The slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(7, -2) is 2.

c) The equation of the tangent line is a first-order polynomial with the following characteristics:

$y = m\cdot x + b$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Depedent variable.

$m$ - Slope.

$b$ - x-Intercept.

The slope was found in point (b) (m = 2). Besides, the point of tangency (7,-2) is known and value of x-Intercept can be obtained after clearing the respective variable:

$-2 = 2 \cdot 7 + b$

$b = -2 + 14$

$b = 12$

The equation of the tangent line to curve at P (7, -2) is $y = 2\cdot x + 12$ .
