Powered by AIRational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, such as 3 or 0.75. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed this way, such as √26. Since √26 is a square root of a non-perfect square, it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, making it irrational .
To convert the decimal number 170 to binary, repeatedly divide the number by 2 and record the remainders. 170 divided by 2 is 85 with a remainder of 0. 85 divided by 2 is 42 with a remainder of 1. 42 divided by 2 is 21 with a remainder of 0. 21 divided by 2 is 10 with a remainder of 1. 10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0, and 5 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 1. Finally, 2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0, and 1 divided by 2 gives a remainder of 1. Reading the remainders from bottom to top, the binary form is 10101010 .
The expression 2^8/2^6 simplifies by applying the exponent subtraction rule: a^m/a^n = a^(m-n). Here, 2^8/2^6 becomes 2^(8-6) which is 2^2. This evaluates to 4, demonstrating the properties of exponents by reducing the power based on the operation and showing the consistency of exponent rules .
The expression 100x^2 - 9 is a difference of squares, which can be expressed as (ax)^2 - b^2. Here, a is 10 and b is 3, giving (10x)^2 - 3^2. The factorization formula a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) is applied to get (10x - 3)(10x + 3) as the factorized form .
To subtract the polynomial 3x−6y from 4x+8y, distribute the subtraction through the second polynomial: (4x + 8y) - (3x - 6y). This leads to 4x + 8y - 3x + 6y. Combine like terms: (4x - 3x) and (8y + 6y) results in x + 14y. Thus, the simplified result is x + 14y .
To convert 0.000000127 to scientific notation, identify the first non-zero digit (1) and place the decimal after it, resulting in 1.27. Count the number of decimal places the point has moved, here comprising 7 places, which indicates 10^-7 as the power of ten. Therefore, 0.000000127 in scientific notation is 1.27 x 10^-7 .
To add binary numbers 10100 and 1110, align them based on the least significant digit and perform binary addition from right to left. Start with the rightmost bit: 0+0=0. Next, 0+1=1. Then 1+1=10, write 0 and carry over 1. 1 (carried over) +0+1=10, so write 0 and carry over 1. 1 (carried over) +1=10, write 0 and carry 1 again, generating an additional bit. Placing the carry, the binary sum is 100010 .
The expression 2x/(12x^2 + 8x + 12) is simplified by first factorizing the denominator. Factor out the greatest common factor, which is 4, yielding 2x/(4(3x^2 + 2x + 3)). The numerator and denominator share a factor of 2, simplifying the expression to x/(2(3x^2 + 2x + 3)). Since further simplification is not possible without specific numeric value for 'x' allowing for polynomial long division, the result remains x/(2(3x^2 + 2x + 3)).
To convert the repeating decimal 3, .2 4̇ into an improper fraction, set x = 3.2444... Multiply by 100 to shift the decimal point two places (as '24' repeats): 100x = 324.444... Subtract the equation for x from this: 100x - x = 324.444... - 3.244... to get 99x = 321.2. Therefore, x = 321.2 / 99. Simplifying, x = 3212 / 990 by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 10, and reducing, it becomes 1606 / 495 as the improper fraction .
3π/8 is not a non-real number because it is a multiplication of a real number (π, which is irrational yet real) by a constant and a division thereof. All operations on real numbers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) yield real numbers, so 3π/8 results in a real output, specifically an irrational real number .
