Answer:

<em>Why might he think that and what would you tell him?</em>

He thought perhaps that numbers were formed by rational numbers of the form \frac{1}{x}, where x\in \mathbb{N}. I would tell him that there are rational numbers \frac{y}{z}, such that \frac{1}{x}\le \frac{y}{z} \le \frac{1}{x+1}, where x, y, z \in \mathbb{N}.

<em>Is there a number that falls between these?</em>

\frac{7}{24} is a rational number between \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Why might he think that and what would you tell him?</em>

He thought perhaps that numbers were formed by rational numbers of the form \frac{1}{x}, where x\in \mathbb{N}. I would tell him that there are rational numbers \frac{y}{z}, such that \frac{1}{x}\le \frac{y}{z} \le \frac{1}{x+1}, where x, y, z \in \mathbb{N}.

<em>Is there a number that falls between these?</em>

Indeed, the average number of \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{4}, for instance. That is:

\frac{y}{z} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}  }{2}

\frac{y}{z} = \frac{\frac{7}{12} }{2}

\frac{y}{z} = \frac{7}{24}

\frac{7}{24} is a rational number between \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{4}.

∠A=5x−18. ∠B=3x+42∘ solve for x and then find the measure of ∠A
KatRina [158]

Answer:

x = 30 ∠A = 132 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other to solve for x

5x - 18 = 3x + 42

-3x        - 3x               Subtract 3x from both sides

2x - 18 = 42

    + 18  + 18              Add 18 to both sides

2x = 60                     Divide both sides by 2

x = 30

Now plug this into the equation for angle A

∠A = 5(30) − 18        Multiply

∠A = 150 - 18           Subtract

∠A = 132 degrees

A rectangular flower bed is five feet longer than it is wide. its area is eighty-four square feet.
777dan777 [17]
Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.
