Answer:

To determine whether a decimal is rational or not, you need to know that...

Irrational numbers don't end and have no pattern whereas rational numbers are the complete opposite. Rational numbers end and have a repeating pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are examples of irrational numbers:

0.9384903204..... , π , √2

Examples of rational numbers:

0.777777... (is rational because it has a repeating pattern of 7) , √49

Hope this helps :)

Which equations below represent lines that are perpendicular to the line that contains (1, -2) and (3, 4)? (CHECK PICS FOR ANSWE
Gala2k [10]

First, let's find the slope of the line from the points given.

m = (4 - - 2) / (3 - 1)

m = 6 / 2

m = 3

Secondly, we know that a line perpendicular to the original must have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original. For the given points, the opposite reciprocal slope would be -1/3.

Now, we can put all of the equations below into slope intercept form and find the ones that have a slope of -1/3.

Equation 1: Correct

y = -1/3x - 5

Equation 2: Incorrect

y = 3x - 3

Equation 3: Incorrect

y - 2 = 3(x + 1)

y - 2 = 3x + 1

y = 3x + 2

Equation 4: Correct

x + 3y = 9

3y = -x + 9

y = -1/3x + 3

Equation 5: Incorrect

3x + y = -5

y = -3x - 5

Hope this helps!! :)

A production process is checked periodically by a quality control inspector. the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 f
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Population Mean = 2.0

Population Standard deviation = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 finished products and computes the sample mean product weight.

Also, test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the values are over 2.1 pounds and 5% are under 1.9 pounds.

Now, mean of the population is given the average of two extreme boundaries because mean lies exactly in the middle of the distribution.

So,   Mean, \mu = \frac{1.9+2.1}{2} = 2.0

Therefore, mean for the population of products produced with this process is 2.

Since, we are given that 5% of the values are under 1.9 pounds so we will calculate the z score value corresponding to a probability of 5% i.e.

             z = -1.6449 {from z % table}

We know that z formula is given by ;  

                Z = \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

              -1.6449 = \frac{1.9 - 2.0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }     ⇒  \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = \frac{-0.1}{-1.6449}  

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.0608 * \sqrt{30}  {as sample size is given 30}

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.03 .

Therefore, Standard deviation for the population of products produced with this process is 0.0333.

You have a garden in your backyard that measures 15 meters by 20 meters. You want to place stepping stones around the perimeter
Anettt [7]

Answer:

0.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions of the garden are 15 meters by 20 meters.

The area of the new garden (original garden + stone placed around the perimeter) is 336m².

Let d be the width of the border having stepping stones as shown in the figure. The shaded region in the figure is the area having stepping stones.

The area including the shaded region = (15+2d)(20+2d) m^2

\Rightarrow 336  = (15+2d)(20+2d) \\\\\Rightarrow 336  = 300+ 70 d +4d^2 \\\\\Rightarrow 4d^2 +70d+300-336=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 4d^2 +70d-36=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 2d^2 +35d-18=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 2d^2 +36d-d-18=0 \\\\\Rightarrow (2d-1)(d+18)=0 \\\\\Rightarrow (2d-1)=0, \; or \; (d+18) \\\\\Rightarrow d= 0.5\;or -18 \\\\

As the width of the stone border can't be a negative value, so taking the positive value.

Hence, the width of the stone border is 0.5 m.

So, the wi
