why do we call rational numbers "rational numbers"?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It is because it comes from the word 'ratio'. A rational number is usually known as the ratio of two integers, that's how it got its name. :)

Jamal goes to a fast food restaurant and orders some tacos and burritos. He sees on the nutrition
menu that tacos are 200 calories and burritos are 370 calories. If he ordered 6 items and consumed
a total of 1880 calories, how many tacos and how many burritos did Jamal order and eat?

Answers

Answer:

4 burritos and 2 tacos

Step-by-step explanation:

burritos 370 x 4 = 1480

tacos 200 x 2 = 400

1480 + 400 = 1880 :)

Answer:

Therefore, if c represents the the number of calories in a taco, then the number of calories in a burrito can be represented as 6c.

Step-by-step explanation:

A taco has  the calories of a burrito. This statement can be translated directly to the equation below.

Substitute c into the equation to represent the calories in a taco.

Divide both sides by .

{1}/{6}

Therefore, if c represents the the number of calories in a taco, then the number of calories in a burrito can be represented as 6c.

Answer:

4.27 x [tex]10^{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole digit cannot go past 10 or be less than 1:

1 - 10 is the numbers of its max.

427,000

We would move the decimal point between 4 and 2 making:

4.2700

(Originally the decimal point moved 5 places because 427,000 is a whole number, which means the decimal point would be considered at the end, as shown below)

427,000.

By moving 5 places to the left this will be part of your: scientific notation as

___ x [tex]10^{5}[/tex]

(Then plug in 4.27 in front of your notation)

Answers

The missing figures in the question can be seen below.

The average retirement age = 56.1 years ...

The number of a  survey of retired citizen = 49

The standard deviation of the retirement age is 6 years.

Using alpha ∝ = 0.02

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given options in the first question in the given information.

Type I error can take place when the researcher concludes the average retirement age increased, but the average retirement age did not increase.

A Type II error can take place when the researcher concludes that the average retirement age did not increase, but the average retirement age increased.

Recall that:

population mean = 56.1

sample size = 49

standard deviation = 6

At the level of significance of 0.02, using the Excel function (=Normsinv(0.02))

The critical value for z = 2.054

Standard error = [tex]\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

=[tex]\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{49}}[/tex]

= 6/7

= 0.857

The rejection region [tex]\overline X[/tex] = [tex]\mu +Z_{\alpha/0.02}*\sigma_x[/tex]

[tex]\overline X[/tex] = [tex]56.1+2.05374891*0.857[/tex]

[tex]\overline X[/tex] = 57.86

P(Type II error) is as follows:

[tex]P(\overline X < 57.86| \mu = 57.4) = P( Z< \dfrac{\overline X - \mu }{\sigma_x})[/tex]

[tex]= P( Z< \dfrac{57.86-57.4}{0.857})[/tex]

[tex]= P( Z< 0.537)[/tex]

From z tables;

P (Type II error) = 0.704

P(Type II error) is as follows:

[tex]P(\overline X < 57.86| \mu = 58.9) = P( Z< \dfrac{\overline X - \mu }{\sigma_x})[/tex]

[tex]= P( Z< \dfrac{57.86-58.9}{0.857})[/tex]

[tex]= P( Z<-1.214)[/tex]

From z tables;

P (Type II error) = 0.1124

Which Is the Best estimare of The área of The figure in square centimeters (as shown down) l need It in 5min​

Answers

Answer:

38.28cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the figure can be determined by expression the figure as two shapes.

  A semicircle and trapezium;

 Area of shape  = Area of semicircle + Area of trapezium

Now;

 Area of semicircle  = [tex]\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2}[/tex]

  Where r is the radius, which is [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] = 2cm;

   Area of semicircle  = [tex]\frac{3.142 x 2^{2} }{2}[/tex]   = 6.28cm²

Area of trapezium;

        = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (a + b)h[/tex]

a and b are the base length = 6cm and 10cm

 h is the height = 4cm

Input the parameters and solve;

       =  [tex]\frac{1}{2} (6 + 10) 4[/tex]  

       = 32cm²

The area of the shape = 6.28cm² + 32cm² = 38.28cm²

The slope (????) of the beam is given by:

θ(x) = dy/dx

Required:
Use a forward divided difference and a step size of h=0.3 to approximate the slope of the beam at x = 1. Calculated the true percent relative error.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question:

The slope is expressed as;

[tex]\thteta (x) = \dfrac{dy}{dx} - - (1)[/tex]

[tex]\thteta (x) = \dfrac{dy}{dx}\left \{ {{\dfrac{y(x+b)-y(x)}{h} \ \ \to approximate} \atop {\dfrac{1}{100}}(-4+4x-3x^2+2x^3) \ \to \ exact } \right.[/tex]

[tex]\theta (x) _{approximate} = \dfrac{y(1+0.3)-y(1)}{0.3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta (x) _{approximate} = \dfrac{y(1.3)-y(1)}{0.3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta (x) _{approximate} = -2.965 \times 10^{-5}[/tex]

[tex]\theta(x)_{exact} = \dfrac{1}{100}(-4+4-3+2)[/tex]

[tex]\theta(x)_{exact} = -0.01[/tex]

Finally, the true percent relative error TPRE is:

[tex]TPRE= \dfrac{ | \theta(x)_{approximate} -\theta (x)_{exact} }{\theta (x)_{exact} }\times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]TPRE= \dfrac{ 2.965 \times 10^5 --0.01}{-0.01}\times 100\%[/tex]

TPRE = 70..35%

The Sweet Smell Fertilizer Company markets bags of manure labeled "not less than 60 lb dry weight." The packaged manure is a combination of compost and sewage wastes. To provide good-quality fertilizer, each bag should contain at least 30 lb of compost but no more than 40 lb of sewage. Each pound of compost costs Sweet Smell 5¢ and each pound of sewage costs 4¢. Use the Linear Programming method to determine the least-cost blend of compost and sewage in each bag.

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Compost lb per bag = x1 = 30

Compost cost per lb = 0.05

Sewage lb per bag = x2 = 40

Sewage cost per lb = 0.04

Minimize cost = 0.5 x1 + 0.4 x2

Constraints:

Bags of manure labeled “not less than 60 lb dry weight”

X1 + x2 ≥ 60

X1 ≥ 30

X2 ≥ 40

At x1 = 30 and x2 = 40

C = 0.05(30) + .04(40)

   = 1.5+ 1.6

   =$3.1

At x1= 60 and x2 = 0

C= 0.05(60) + 0.04(0)

  = 3 + 0

  =$3.00

At x1 = 30 and x2= 30

C = 0.05(30) + 0.04(30)

    = 1.5 + 1.2

  =$2.7

Answers

Price of lunch of each, P = $ 18.45/3 = $ 6.15 .

Now, number of people that can eat the barbecue at a budget of $1850.00 is:

[tex]n=\dfrac{1850}{6.15}\\\\n=300.81[/tex]

Therefore, Mr. Gaines afford maximum 300 people to feed on a budget of $1850.00 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Kevin asked his trainee, Anna, to help call some of his clients to sell a newly-issued municipal bond. If he had to call all of the clients himself, it would take Kevin six hours to complete the job. If Anna alone were to call the clients, it would take her nine hours. Working together, how long will it take Kevin and Anna to call all of the clients?

Answers

Answer:

3.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, create a Rate, Time, Work chart:

Work is rate times time. For Kevin, his work is going to equal x over 6 job. For Anna, her expression for work will equal x over 9 job.

The work is 1 job of calling all clients, so their combined work is equal to 1.  

x over 6 plus x over 9 equals 1

In the rational equation, x is the amount of time it takes Kevin and Anna to call the clients together.  With rational equations, the terms can be added together once they have common denominators.  

x over 6 plus x over 9 equals 1

fraction numerator begin display style x left parenthesis 9 right parenthesis end style over denominator begin display style 6 left parenthesis 9 right parenthesis end style end fraction plus fraction numerator begin display style x left parenthesis 6 right parenthesis end style over denominator begin display style 9 left parenthesis 6 right parenthesis end style end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 1 left parenthesis 6 right parenthesis left parenthesis 9 right parenthesis end style over denominator left parenthesis 6 right parenthesis left parenthesis 9 right parenthesis end fraction

fraction numerator 9 x over denominator 54 end fraction plus fraction numerator 6 x over denominator 54 end fraction equals 54 over 54

9 x plus 6 x equals 54

15 x equals 54

x equals 3.6

If Kevin and Anna work together, they can call all the clients in 3.6 hours.

Which equation does not belong with the other three? O y= -5x - 1 O 2x - y = 8 O y = x +4 y = -3r + 13​

Answers

Answer:

The equation y = -3r + 13 does not belong with the other three.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 4 equations

y = -5x2x - y = 8y = x + 4y = -3r + 13

The first 3 equations have relations between two variables x and y

So they are linear equations of two variables x and y

The fourth equation has a relation between two variables r and y

So it is a linear equation of two variables r and y

The fourth equation does not belong to with the first three equations because it has a different variable r

The equation y = -3r + 13 does not belong with the other three.
