If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.
9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000
If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.
If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then
1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…
Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…
999<em>x</em> = 9512
<em>x</em> = 9512/999
If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like
9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…
then the number would be irrational.
Answer:
the equation is : x²-x-12
Step-by-step explanation:
the quadratic equation is in the form of : y=ax²+bx+c
the product of the zeros is -12 and the sum is 1
b = - 1
c=-12 (product)
y=x²-x-12
check : factorize first (x+3)(x-4)=0
either x+3=0 then x=-3
or x-4=0 then x=4
-3*4=-12
-3+4=1
the equation is : x²-x-12
It would be 500,000 when rounded to nearest thousands.
1,2,9,4,12
