Answer: Option A, the square root of 40, is an irrational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 4 options:
- the sqrt of 40
- the sqrt of 49
- the sqrt of 100
- the sqrt of 9
All but one are perfect squares. Let's find out which one is not a perfect square.
The sqrt of 49 is 7. 7 times 7 is equal to 49.
The sqrt of 100 is 10. 10 times itself is equal to 100.
The sqrt of 9 is 3. 3 times 3 is equal to 9.
What about the square root of 40?
We know it's not a perfect square, and it's somewhere between 6 and 7. So, the hint from the question tells us that imperfect squares are irrational. Then this must be the answer!
The exponent symbol when typing is ^. so I so rewrite this for you.
(15x^8 / 24y^5) / (4x^4 / 8y^2)
I assumed you meant 8y squared because you said 8 squared.
now when we divide by a fraction, we can actually multiply by it's reciprocal and get the same thing. The word reciprocal really just means flip it over. so:
(15x^8 / 24y^5) * (8y^2 / 4x^4)
let's reduce the coefficients ( the numbers in front of the x and y) to make it easier.
We have 15/24 which can be reduced to 5/8
and 8/4 which is 2/1
so:
(5x^8 / 8y^5) * (2y^2 / x^4)
multiply numerator and denominator
(10x^8y^2) / (8x^4y^5)
now reduce coeffient. 10/8 is 5/4
reduce x: x^8/x^4 is x^4
reduce y: y^2/y^5 is 1/y^3
now put together
5x^4 / 4y^3
so C
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The common number in 50 is 5. So you just multiply; 50×0.1=5
