In order to find this out, let's convert both of them into percents. Since 17.5 is already a percent, we only have to convert 1/6 into a percent. To convert 1/6 into a percent, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator. If you do that, you will get 0.1666..... as a repeating decimal. Now, multiply the decimal by 100 or just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to get the percent. If you do that, you will get 16.6%. Since it is a repeating decimal, you can round it to 16.7%. So, 17.5% is larger than 1/6.
Hope it helps :)
I assume you mean one that is not rational, such as √2. In such a case, you make a reasonable estimate of it's position, and then label the point that you plot.
For example, you know that √2 is greater than 1 and less than 2, so put the point at about 1½ (actual value is about 1.4142).
For √3, you know the answer is still less than 4, but greater than √2. If both of those points are required to be plotted just make sure you put it in proper relation, otherwise about 1¾ is plenty good (actual value is about 1.7321).
If you are going to get into larger numbers, it's not a bad idea to just learn a few roots. Certainly 2, 3, and 5 (2.2361) and 10 (3.1623) shouldn't be too hard.
Then for a number like 20, which you can quickly workout is √4•√5 or 2√5, you could easily guess about 4½ (4.4721).
They're usually not really interested in your graphing skills on this sort of exercise. They just want you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the magnitude of irrational numbers.
Answer i think would be
l-4x+4l
---------
x-1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: Ok so it is backwerd to pas would be nagitv
8 x 2 + 6x + 5=0
16 + 6x + 5=0
6x+21=0
6x+21-21=0-21
6x=-21
6x/6=-21/6
x=-7/2
