What type of number is 1/2?

Mathematics

makkiz [27]3 years ago

Answer:

1/2 is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Real numbers are numbers that can represent "distance" along a line. The set of real numbers has subsets that include natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.

Natural numbers are counting numbers. A.K.A., they are numbers that you would start counting your fingers on (1, 2, 3, ...)

Whole numbers are just natural numbers and 0.

Integers are whole numbers and their opposite. (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)

Rational numbers are integers and numbers that can be put into a fraction of two integers. For example, 3/4 is a fraction of two natural numbers (3 and 4) who are also integers. Therefore, 3/4 is a rational number.

So, what number is 1/2?

It can't be a natural number because no one counts numbers as fractions unless they were made to.

It can't be a whole number because 1/2 is not whole. It is half of 1.

It can't be an integer because integers include whole numbers and their opposites, and 1/2 isn't even a whole number.

1/2 has to be an rational number because it is a fraction of two integers, 1 and 2.

ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in
valkas [14]

Answer:

The graph should be stretched rather than become narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, just create some example points.

At x = 0, your y-value will always be 0. But if you were to plug in the value 1, you would get a y-value of 1 in y=x^2, but a value of 0.5 in y=0.5x^2. If you were to plug in a value of 2, you would get a value of 4 in y=x^2, but a value of 2 in y=0.5x^2.

If you continue this pattern for a few more points, then plot them, you will see that adding a coefficient of 0.5 simply stretches the graph

Answer:

0.0000454

Step-by-step explanation:
