Which of the following must describe a irrational number? A. a number with a repeating or terminating decimal expansion B. a num

Olenka [21]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A irrational number can be defined as those numbers which are real but can NOT be expressed in simple fractions. The term 'irrational' means 'a number which can not be expressed in ratio of two integers', 'no ratio.'

<u>When a irrational number is expressed in decimal, the numbers keep on expanding without repeating andd without terminating, which means it keeps on expanding infinitely.</u>

For example, π (pi) is an irrational number. When it is expressed in decimals it keeps on expanding non-repeatedly and unendingly.

Another example of an irrational number is √2.

Thus the correct statement that defines irrational number is option D.

Emily has 140 books. If Frank were to triple the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has.

aniked [119]

B * 3 < 140
B being the number of books Frank owns. Because tripling the amount of books he owns is still less than the amount of book Emily owns, b*3 has to be less than 140

Part 4: Use the information provided to write the vertex formula of each parabola.

sergey [27]

Answer: 1. x = (y - 2)² + 8

$\bold{2.\quad x=-\dfrac{1}{2}(y-10)^2}+1$

3. y = 2(x +9)² + 7

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Notes: Vertex form is: y =a(x - h)² + k or x =a(y - k)² + h

(h, k) is the vertex
point of vertex is midpoint of focus and directrix: $\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}$

$\bullet\quad a=\dfrac{1}{4p}$

p is the distance from the vertex to the focus

1)

$focus = \bigg(\dfrac{-31}{4},2\bigg)\qquad directrix: x=\dfrac{-33}{4}\\\\\text{Since directrix is x, then the x-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{-31}{4}+\frac{-33}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{-64}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{-16}{2}=-8\\\\\text{The y-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: 2}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(-8,2)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{-31}{4}-\dfrac{-32}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{4})}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1$

Now, plug in a = 1 and (h, k) = (-8, 2) into the equation x =a(y - k)² + h

x = (y - 2)² + 8

***************************************************************************************

2)

$focus = \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},10\bigg)\qquad directrix: x=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\text{Since directrix is x, then the x-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{4}{2}}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\\\\\text{The y-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: 10}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(1,10)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{-1}{2})}=\dfrac{1}{-2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now, plug in a = -1/2 and (h, k) = (1, 10) into the equation x =a(y - k)² + h

$\bold{x=-\dfrac{1}{2}(y-10)^2}+1$

***************************************************************************************

3)

$focus = \bigg(-9,\dfrac{57}{8}\bigg)\qquad directrix: y=\dfrac{55}{8}\\\\\text{Since directrix is y, then the y-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{57}{8}+\frac{55}{8}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{112}{8}}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}=7\\\\\text{The x-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: -9}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(-9,7)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{57}{8}-\dfrac{56}{8}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{8})}=\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=2$

Now, plug in a = 2 and (h, k) = (-9, 7) into the equation y =a(x - h)² + k

y = 2(x +9)² + 7

The lengths of a rectangle have been measured to the nearest tenth of a centimetre they are 87.3cm and 51.8cm what is the upper

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Area (upper bound) = 4527.7056 cm²

Perimeter (lower bound) = 278 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The length and width of the rectangle have been ROUNDED to the nearest tenth. Let's calculate what their actual measurements could be:

LENGTH: rounded to 87.3, actual is between 87.25 and 87.34

<em>87.25 is the lowest number it could be that would round it UP to 87.3</em>

<em>87.34 is the highest number it could be that would round DOWN to 87.3</em>

WIDTH: rounded to 51.8, actual is between 51.75 and 51.84

<em>51.75 is the lowest number it could be that would round it UP to 51.8</em>

<em>51.84 is the highest number it could be that would round DOWN to 51.8</em>

To find the Area of the upper bound, multiply the highest possible length and the highest possible width:

A = 87.34 × 51.84 = 4527.7056

To find the Perimeter of the lower bound, calculate the perimeter using the lowest possible length and the lowest possible width:

P = 2(87.25 + 51.75) = 278
