Solution:

The rational number that lies between 31.5 and 31.6 is 31.55

Breakdown of the reasoning:

We have established that the average of the specified numbers will be situated between them.

Since we are determining the average, which is the sum divided by 2, we can express it in $\frac{p}{q}$ this form.

So, the average of 31.5 and 31.6 =

$\frac{(31.5 + 31.6 )}{2}$ Average =

$\frac{63.1}{2}$ Average = 31.55

A rational number refers to any number that can be written as a fraction, such as 2, -3, 2/3, etc.

Essentially, any non-repeating number found between 31.5 and 31.6 would suffice.

Examples include: 31.51, 31.52, 31.568, 31.599

I suggest 31.55 since it’s straightforward and can be expressed as the fraction: 361/20

Line AB and BC for a right angle at point B. If A(-3,4) and B(4,4) what is the equation of line BC?

AnnZ [9071]

The correct answer is:

x=4.

Explanation:

The slope between points A and B is calculated using the formula
$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Using the coordinates for points A and B, we can determine
$m=\frac{4-4}{4--3}=\frac{0}{7}=0$
Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are negative reciprocals. The slope of line AB is 0/7, which has an undefined reciprocal of 7/0. This indicates that the line is vertical. The equation for vertical lines takes the form x=c, which is constant; for line B, with coordinates (4, 4), this results in x=4.

An investment fund starts at $0 and grows at a rate of $100 per month. Another fund starts at $4000 and reduces by $720 per year

Zina [9157]

The answer is: 2 years and 1 month. This duration at $100 per month totals to $2,500. The calculation is $720 per year over 2 years results in $1,440. Monthly, this amounts to $60, making the total $1,500 after adding the two figures. Therefore, $4,000 - $1,500 leaves us with $2,500.

Three judges measure the lap times of a runner and each measurement is different from the others by a few hundredths of a second

babunello [8402]

Response:

Systematic error.

Step-by-step breakdown:

Assuming all judges are impartial, the most probable explanation for this discrepancy is the presence of systematic errors.

Systematic errors consist of issues caused by inaccuracies in the experimental design, whether regarding observation or measurement.

In this situation, the time it takes each judge to observe the finish and stop the timer might differ, leading to a systematic error.

Beaker A contains 4 1/3 fluid ounces, while beaker B contains 4 3/10 of water . Which beaker has the smaller amount of water

zzz [9066]

Beaker A holds a greater volume of water.
First, identify equivalent fractions.
Next, by comparing the quantities, it is observed that Beaker A has a larger amount of water.
Thus, Beaker A contains more water.

Which statements correctly describe the cosine and sine functions? Check all that apply. The cosine function increases on (90°,

babunello [8402]

The correct options include B "The sine function rises in the intervals (0°, 90°) and (270°, 360°)." E "Both sinusoidal functions reach a peak value of 1." and F "Both functions exhibit periodic behavior."
