1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Irrational

The square root 42 cannot be written as a fraction, therefore it cannot be rational. more examples of irrational numbers include pi or let’s say square root of 2, 3, 10, etc… some random repeating decimals fall under irrational too.

Solve for radius first using the equation for circumference:

C = 2πr

44 = 2πr

44/2π = r

r = about 7 cm

d = 2r

d = 2*7

= 14 cm

Given A (-10,-3.5) and B (2, 5.5), find the coordinates of point P on AB so that P partitions AB in the ratio 5:1.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

$\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(-10,-3.5)\qquad B(2,5.5)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{5:1} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{5}{1}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{5}{1}\implies 1A=5B\implies 1(-10,-3.5)=5(2,5.5)$

$(\stackrel{x}{-10}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-3.5})=(\stackrel{x}{10}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{27.5})\implies P=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-10+10}}{5+1}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{-3.5+27.5}}{5+1} \right)} \\\\\\ P=\left( \cfrac{0}{6}~~,~~\cfrac{24}{6} \right)\implies P=(0~~,~~4)$

Percent decrease : (original number - new number) / original number..*100
= (225,000 - 191,250) / 225,000.....* 100
= 33,750 / 225,000....* 100
= 0.15 * 100
