Rachel states that -5.5 is an integer because it is negative. Is she correct. Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

She is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

She is incorrect.

An integer is a whole number, zero, and the opposites of the whole numbers. There cannot be a decimal part or fractional part to an integer.

Here are the integers:

..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

-5.5 is not an integer.

Answer 2

Rachel's statement that -5.5 is an integer because it is negative is not correct because -5.5 is a rational number.

Given,

Rachel states that -5.5 is an integer because it is negative.

We need to find out whether Rachel's statement is correct and give a reason.

What are integers?

Integers are 0,±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±6, ±7, ±8,......

It includes all whole numbers.

We have,

-5.5 is a negative rational number.

Integer has no decimal point.

-5.5 is not an integer.

Thus Rachel's statement that -5.5 is an integer because it is negative is not correct.

i Find a rational number between -1/2 and 3/4 ?​

Answers

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rational number half way between 1/2 and 3/4

First add 1/2 and 3/4

1/2 + 3/4 = 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4

Next, divide this sum by 2

5/4 divided by 2/1 = 5/4 * 1/2 = 5/8

5/8 is half from 1/2 and 3/4

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x² + 3x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given αβ = - [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{c}{a}[/tex]

and α + β = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex]

Then a = 2, b = 3 and c = - 9, thus

Using inductive reasoning, determine the next two terms in each sequence. -3, 5, -7, 9, , A, C, F, J, , Blank 1: Blank 2: Blank 3: Blank 4:

Answers

Answer:

A = -11

C = 13

F = -15

J = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is the use of observations to draw a conclusion.

The sequence of numbers in this problem is:

-3, 5, -7, 9, ...

A pattern is observed and that pattern is:

(n + 1) th term = |nth term| + 2 (with alternating negative signs)

for instance if (n+1)th term = 2nd term; nth term = 1st term

2nd term = |1st term| + 2

2nd term = |-3| + 2 = 5 (no negative sign since previous term had negative)

-3rd term = |5| + 2 = -7 (negative sign because the previous term was positive)

4th term = |-7| + 2 = 9 (no negative sign since previous term had negative)

-5th term (A)= |9| + 2 = - 11 (negative sign because the previous term was positive)

6th term (C) = |-11| + 2 = 13 (no negative sign since previous term had negative)

if you use the same sequence for F and J, you will get:

F = -15

J = 17

you should try them out to see if you will get the same solution.

side length of 216 cubic yards

Answers

Answer:

6 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

a³ = 216

a = ∛ 216

    = 6 yards

Answer:

6 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube can be found using the following formula.

[tex]v= s^3[/tex]

We know the volume is 216 cubic yards, so we can substitute 216 yd³ in for v.

[tex]216 yd^3=s^3[/tex]

We want to find the side length. Therefore, we must isolate the variable, s, on one side of the equation.

s is being cubed. The inverse of cubed is the cube root. Take the cube root of both sides of the equation.

[tex]\sqrt[3]{216 yd^3}=\sqrt[3]{s^3}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[3]{216yd^3}=s[/tex]

[tex]6yd=6[/tex]

The side length of the cube is 6 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

-6-(-4)

-6+4

-2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Make it simpler: -6 + 4-6 + 4 = -2

Why:

When you subtract a negative, it automatically becomes a positive. That's why when we were making it simpler above, we canceled out the two minus signs (subtractions sign and negative sign) to make a positive 4. That's why we added a positive instead of subtracting a negative.A negative plus a positive will get bigger. That's why -6 + 4 = -2. The -2 is larger than -6 when you look at it on a number line. It's closer to 0 and the positives.

what is the sum of the arithmetic series: s10 = -20, d = 4, a1 =? ​

Answers

Answer:

first term a1 is -40.

Step-by-step explanation:

in an arithmetic series,

sum of first term terms (S10) = -20

Common difference (d) = 4

first term (a)= ?

number of terms (n)= 10

now,

S10 =( n÷2) [a1 +(n-1) d]

or, -20 = (10÷2) [a1 + (10-1) 4]

or, -20 = 5 ( a1 + 36)

or, -4 = a1 + 36

or, a1 = -40

Step-by-step explanation:[tex] \green\star[/tex] Given

[tex]\blue\star[/tex]s10 = -20

[tex]\blue\star[/tex]n = 10

[tex]\blue\star[/tex] an = -20

[tex] \green\star[/tex] solution

[tex] \green\star[/tex]s10 = n\2 [a+(n-1)d]

[tex] \green\star[/tex]-20 = 10a2[a+(10-1)4]

Find the volume of a box with a height that is 4 inches less than the
length and a width equal to the length. Let x represent the length of the
box. (Formula for volume of a rectangular prism: V equals L times W
times H where L is length, W is width, H is height of the rectangular
prism)

Answers

Answer:

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

V = L × W × H

Where,

V = volume of the rectangular prism

L= Length

W = Width

H = Height

volume of the rectangular prism = length × width × height

Length = x

Width= length = x

Height = x - 4

V = L × W × H

= x * x * (x - 4)

= x^2 (x - 4)

= x^3 - 4x^2

V = x^3 - 4x^2

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2

A group of boys went on a camping trip. They spent the night in 5 tents and 4 cabins. There were 9 boys in each tent and 7 boys in each cabin. How many boys went on the trip?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a tent, there are nine boys.

There were five tents.

5 tents containing 9 boys can equal 45 boys.

(5 x 9 = 45)

In a cabin, there are seven boys.

There were four cabins.

4 cabins containing 7 boys can equal 28 boys.

(4 x 7 = 28)

Now, to find all the boys, add the numbers together.

28 boys with 45 boys will equal 73 boys.

Enter and solve an equation to find the average weight of a gerbil at birth. Let g represent your variable. The equation is . The average weight of a gerbil at birth is g.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equality between two expressions.

From the table, the average weight of the hamster at birth is 2 grams. The average weight of gerbil at birth is 2/3 of that of hamster. Let g represents the weight of the gerbil at birth, hence the weight can be gotten by solving the equation:

2/3 of hamster weight at birth = Average weight of gerbil at birth

2/3 × 2 grams = g

g = 2/3 × 2 grams = 4/3 grams = 1.33 grams

The average weight of gerbil at birth = 1.33 grams

Please help me whoever does it first will get brainliest!!! a) Write a ratio of girls to boys in three ways b) Write an equivalent ratio to the one you wrote in part a. c) Write the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form

Answers

Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) There are 20 girls and 16 boys so three different ways to write the ratio could be 20:16, 20 / 16 or, in verbal form, 20 to 16.

b) An equivalent ratio to 20:16 is 10:8, all we do to get this is divide the ratio by 2.

c) Since there are 16 boys and 20 girls, the ratio is 16:20 which simplifies to 4:5.

point w is on line segment VX. Given vx=4x, vw=3x and wx=5 determine the numerical length of vx

Answers

Answer:

Numerical length of VX = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that VX is a line segment which has a point W on it.

Kindly refer to the attached diagram for the given points.

We are also given the following dimensions:

[tex]VX=4x\\VW=3x\ and \\WX=5[/tex]

To find:

Numerical length of VX = ?

Solution:

As we can clearly see from the attached diagram:

[tex]VX = VW + WX[/tex]

Putting the given values:

[tex]4x=3x+5[/tex]

Now, let us solve for [tex]x[/tex] and then will put the value of [tex]x[/tex] back to find the numerical value of VX.

[tex]\Rightarrow 4x-3x=5\\\Rightarrow x =5[/tex]

Now,

[tex]VX = 4 \times x = 4\times 5 =\bold{20}[/tex]

Therefore, numerical value of VX is 20.

Add 15 to each side using the addition property of equality

7y -15+15 = -29+15

7y = -14

Divide each side by 7 using the inverse property of multiplication

7y/7 = -14/7

y =2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf 7y-15=-29[/tex]

Using the additive property of equality, we add 15 to both sides of the equation.

[tex]\sf 7y-15+15=-29+15[/tex]

[tex]\sf 7y=-14[/tex]

Using the inverse property of multiplication, we divide both sides of the equation by 7.

Answer:

50th term = 157

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit equation for the given table is,

y = 3x + 7

And recursive formula is,

Now = previous + 3

To find the 50th term explicit formula should be used because it will be very difficult to find all 50 terms with the use of recursive formula.

From explicit formula,

y = 3x + 7

y = 3(50) + 7

  = 157

Therefore, 50th term of the given table will be 157.
