Answer:

A. Holly is correct. Repeating decimals are always rational numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational number is the subset of:

  • Whole number (Positive integer + 0)
  • Natural number
  • Negative integers
  • Fractions
  • Decimals (Whether positive or not, whether terminating or non terminating)

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

Answer:

Holly is incorrect. The decimal part follows a pattern but does not actually repeat.

so D is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers follow a pattern but if you take a closer look you will see that the numbers do not repeat even though they still use the numbers 1, and 3 doesn't mean there a rational number.

Draw a bar model that shows how the number of hours in March compares with the number of hours in February of this year.
gogolik [260]
Okay so first we need to find how many days are in March and February. March has 31 days and because this year was a leap year February has 29 days.

The next step is to convert days to hours.
March: 31x24=744
February: 29x24=696

Now its time to graph

Manuel painted 0.75 of a rectangular banner green. After the paint dried, he painted 0.6 of the green area orange. What part of
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

0.45 part of the banner is painted orange

Step-by-step explanation:

portion of rectangular banner painted green = 0.75

Portion of green painted part which is now painted orange = 0.60

Hence we can say that

0.6 part out of 0.75 part of total banner is painted orange

mathematically it is

0.6 * 0.75 = 0.45

Thus 0.45 part of banner is painted orange .

A friend tells you that he has a cubic equation with exactly three complex roots. Determine which explanation best explains why
Ksju [112]
Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.

a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.

therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.

if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.

If you are one of the first 100 people to join a new health club, you are charged a joining fee of $49. Otherwise, you are charg
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) Total cost = 49 + 38.75m

b) Total cost = 149 + 38.75m

c) The graphs of the lines are parallel and both has slope of - 2.5

d)Difference in total cost = $132.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost , TC = Initial membership fee + monthly charges

a) TC = 49 + 38.75m

b)TC = 149 + 38.75m

d) 149 + 38.75(6months) = 381.5

49 + 38.75(12months) = 514

Difference in total cost = 514 -381.5 = $132.5

Solve x2 = 12x – 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Nady [450]
For this case we have the following polynomial:
 x ^ 2 = 12x - 15

 The first thing to do is to place the variables on the same side of the equation.
 We have then:
 x ^ 2 - 12x = -15

 We complete the square by adding the term (b / 2) ^ 2 on both sides of the equation.
 We have then:
 x ^ 2 - 12x + (-12/2) ^ 2 = -15 + (-12/2) ^ 2

 Rewriting we have:
 x ^ 2 - 12x + (-6) ^ 2 = -15 + (-6) ^ 2

x ^ 2 - 12x + 36 = -15 + 36
 
(x-6) ^ 2 = 21
 x-6 =+/- \sqrt{21}
 Therefore, the solutions are:
 x = 6 - \sqrt{21}
 x = 6 + \sqrt{21}
 Answer:
 
the solution set of the equation is:
 
x = 6 - \sqrt{21}
 x = 6 + \sqrt{21}
