Show that 0.357 is a rational number.

Answer:

0.357 = (357)/(1000).

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is a rational number if and only if it is equal to the ratio between two integers. In other words, a number x is a rational number if and only if there are integers (whole numbers) p and q (q \ne 0) such that x = p / q.

Thus, the 0.357 in this question would be a rational number as long as there are integers p and q (q \ne 0) such that p / q = 0.357. Simply finding the right p\! and q\1 would be sufficient for showing that 0.357\! is rational.

Since 0.357 is a terminating decimal, one possible way to find p\! and q\1 is to repeatedly multiply 0.357\! by 10 until a whole number is reached:

10 \times 0.357 = 3.57.

10^{2} \times 0.357 = 35.7.

10^{3} \times 0.357 = 357.

Thus, 0.357 = (357) / (10^{3}), such that p = 357 and q = 1000 (both are integers, and q \ne 0) would ensure that 0.357 = p / q.

Therefore, 0.357 is indeed a rational number.

3.1 Factorise completely<br><br>3.1.2 3x2 - 2x - 8​
Ugo [173]

Answer:

3x² – 2x – 8

=> 3x² – 6x + 4x – 8

=> 3x( x – 2 ) + 4( x – 2 )

=> ( 3x + 4 ) ( x – 2 )

Therefore,

Either, 3x + 4 = 0

3x = - 4

x = - 4/3 (Ans)

And,

x – 2 = 0

x = 2 (Ans)

Can someone explain to me what a “derivative” means? How do you find the derivative of f(x)=x^3+1?
Ostrovityanka [42]
The derivative is the rate of change of a function, basically represents the slope at different points. To find the derivative of the given function you can use the power rule, which means, if n is a real number, d/dx(x^n)= nx^(n-1). This is a simplification of the chain rule based on the fact that d/dx(x)=1. Anyway, this means that d/dx(x^3 + 1)= 3x^2. Here n is 3 and so it is 3*x^(3-1)= 3x^2. The derivative of x^3+1 is 3x^2.

If you are wondering what happened to the 1, for any constant C, d/dx(C)=0.
