A rational number can always be represented as a fraction.
5.2 = 52/10
5.5 = 55/10
A number between them would be 54/10 since 54 is between 52 and 55.
An irrational number cannot be represented as a fraction. A good example of an irrational number is the square root of a number.
sqrt(5.2^2) = 5.2 ----> 5.2^2 = 27.04
sqrt(5.5^2) = 5.5 ----> 5.5^2 = 30.25
The square root of a number between 27.04 and 30.25 will be an irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5
sqrt(28) = 5.2915...
Answer:
11.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AB and CD are parallel, ∠D is congruent to ∠A and ∠C is congruent to ∠B. Therefore the two triangles are similar by the AA postulate. Now, the corresponding sides are in proportion
Since AE ↔ DE and AB ↔ CD
So, AE/CD = AB/CD
AE/5 = 9/4
AE = 9(5)/4
= 45/4 = 11.25

Answer: f(x) = (-1/2)x+1, choice B</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The diagonal line passes through 1 on the vertical y axis. So the y intercept is b = 1. This means the location of the y intercept is (0,1).
Start at (0,1) and move down 1 and to the right 2 to arrive at (2,0). This is another point on the diagonal line. The motion of "down 1 and right 2" is effectively the slope
slope = rise/run = -1/2
rise = -1, run = 2
The rise being negative means we have gone downhill as we move to the right.
With m = -1/2 as the slope and b = 1 as the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-1/2)x+1
The last thing to do is replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = (-1/2)x+1 as the final answer.
The first step to do is to calculate first the total
household waste generate for the two years. That is:
total waste generated = 23,400,000 tons + 48,100,000 tons
total waste generated = 71,500,000 tons
Now, to write either a very big number or a very small number
in a form of scientific notation simply means to write it in a decimal form
such as: 12.5 * 10^10
Now to write 71,500,000 in scientific notation, the decimal
form is 7.15, however we still need to find out the * 10^n factor. The value of
n depends on the number of places the decimal point was moved. If the movement
was from right to left, the value of n is positive and if the movement was from
right to left, the value of n is negative. Since the decimal point was moved by
7 places, hence the complete scientific notation is:
7.15 * 10^7 tons
