Answer:

No, this number is irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing √10 by 5 gives approximately \frac{\sqrt{10}}{5} } which is about 0.6245553...

This decimal extends indefinitely without repeating a pattern (unlike a number such as 0.234234234..., where "234" repeats endlessly).

We can formulate the trajectory of the parabola using the vertex form equation: y = a (x – h)^2 + k. The coordinates for the vertex are at h and k, representing the peak height, thus h = 250 and k = 120. Consequently, the equation becomes y = a (x – 250)^2 + 120. At the starting point where x = 0 and y = 0, we find a: 0 = a (0 – 250)^2 + 120, which simplifies to 0 = a (62,500) + 120, leading to a = -0.00192. The complete equation is y = -0.00192 (x – 250)^2 + 120. To determine y when x = 400, we substitute: y = -0.00192 (400 - 250)^2 + 120, yielding y = 76.8 ft. Hence, the ball clears the tree by 76.8 ft – 60 ft = 16.8 ft.

What is the nearest ten thousand, the population of Vermont was estimated to be about 620,000 in 2008 . What might have been the
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

The exact population of Vermont in 2008 could have been around 618,000

Step-by-step explanation:

* Here's how rounding to the nearest ten thousand works:

- Numbers ending with the last four digits between 0001 and 4999 are rounded down to the nearest lower multiple of ten thousand

- Example: 83,525 rounds down to 80,000.

- If the last four digits are 5000 or above, round up to the next higher ten thousand

- Example: 58,988 rounds up to 60,000

* Applying this rule to the problem given:

Since the rounded population is 620,000 to the nearest ten thousand, the actual population could be any value with the last four digits from 0001 to 4999 (like 618,000) or from 5000 upwards (like 624,000).

Therefore, 618,000 might represent the actual population of Vermont in 2008

Laura is the fund-raising manager for a local charity. She is ordering caps for an upcoming charity walk. The company that makes
Zina [12379]

Let x represent the number of caps

cost per cap = $6

cost for x caps = 6x

shipping charge = $25

overall budget = $1000

We can set up the following inequality:

Because the total amount cannot exceed 1000, we have

25 + 6x ≤ 1000

6x ≤ 975

x ≤ 162.5

rounding,

x ≤ 163

This means she can purchase a maximum of 163 caps.

x:200

x/200 =.2121212121...

200(x/200) = 200(.2121212121...)

x = 42.4242...

The expectation is that a player would achieve 42 hits over 200 at-bats.
