Answer:

  in any numerical computation; numerical values can only be rational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Any time a number is written down as a numerical value, it is a rational number. The numerical values we give to π or e or any root, logarithm, trig function, and polynomial solution are, of necessity, rational approximations to the true value. An "exact" value for an irrational number cannot be written down, so it must be approximated any time its numerical value is needed.

Which function has a range of y &lt; 3?<br> y=3(2)*<br> y=2(3)<br> y=-(2)*+ 3<br> O y=(2]*_3
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The function given by y = - (2)^{x} + 3 will have a range of y < 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given by y = - (2)^{x} + 3 will have a range of y < 3.

This is because, for any real values of x, the term - (2)^{x} will have a negative value. If we put x = 1, then, - (2)^{x} = - 2, and for x = -1, then - (2)^{x} = - 0.5.

That means - (2)^{x} < 0 for all real x.

Hence, - (2)^{x} + 3 < 0 + 3

⇒ y < 3 for all real x. (Answer)

A golfer attempts to hit a golf ball over a valley from a platform above the groun
leonid [27]

Answer: NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions that models the height of the ball is given as

h(t) = -5t2 + 40t + 100

Where

a = -5, b = 40, c = 100

The time the ball will reach the maximum height will be the vertex of the parabola. At the line of symmetry, the time t will be:

t = -b/2a

Substitute b and a into the formula above.

t = - 40 / -5 = 8

Substitute 8 for t in the function f(t)

h(t) = - 5(8)^2 + 40(8) + 100

h(t) = -5(64) + 40(8) + 100

Open the bracket

h(t) = -320 + 320 + 100

h(t) = 100

The maximum height of the ball is 100m

Given that the power lines is 185 metres above the ground. The golf ball will therefore not hit power lines because the maximum height the ball can go is 100 metres

What is the rational number equivalent to 3 point 12 with a bar over 12?
slamgirl [31]
\frac{12}{100}=0.12

To get the 0.12 to repeat, the trick is to subtract 1 from the denominator

\frac{12}{99}=0.12121212...

Then reduce the fraction.

\frac{12}{99}={4}{33}

now add the 3 to get

3.12121212.... = 3\frac{4}{33}
