What is the difference between rational and irrational numbers? And we believe whole numbers are 0 and any number after it to the positive side. What are the negative numbers called, just integers? We are also a little confused about the difference in counting numbers and whole numbers, are they the same?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Definition:
Every rational number can be written as a fraction with whole numbers
on top and bottom.  Irrational numbers can't.

Working method of recognizing them:
Any number that you can write down completely, on paper, using number digits without any symbols, is a rational number, whether you write it as a fraction or as a decimal.

Popular misconception:
A rational number doesn't necessarily produce a decimal that ends, and a decimal that never ends is not necessarily an irrational number.
Examples:  1/3, 1/7, 1/9, 1/11 are never-ending in decimal form.

Whole numbers are the positive integers and zero.

Counting numbers are the whole numbers without zero.

Integers are the whole numbers plus their negatives.

PROVE: ((1+cosx)/sinx)+(sinx/cosx)=((cosx+1)/(sinx+cosx)). Idk what to do because I'm pretty sure the way I did it was wrong...

Answers

I'll take the picture.
(1+cos\theta)/(sin\theta)+(sin\theta)/(cos\theta)=\frac{cos\theta+1}{sin\theta{cos\theta}}
Multiply by sin\theta{cos\theta} to get:
(1+cos\theta)sin\theta=cos\theta+1, which means that sin\theta=1, like wtf?
I guess you got to this result.
Btw, if it's an equation you get that \theta=k\pi, for k integer.

Legalization of marijuana, Part 1. The 2010 General Social Survey asked 1,259 US res- idents: "Do you think the use of marijuana should be made legal, or not?" 48% of the respondents said it should be made legal. (a) Is 48% a sample statistic or a population parameter? Explain. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal, and interpret it in the context of the data. (c) A critic points out that this 95% confidence interval is only accurate if the statistic follows a normal distribution, or if the normal model is a good approximation. Is this true for these data? Explain. (a) A news piece on this survey's findings states, "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized. Based on your confidence interval, is this news piece's statement justified?

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 48% is a sample statistic because it's based on the responses of 1,259 US residents. It's used to estimate a population parameter.

(b) We can calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of US residents who support marijuana legalization. This interval provides a range, and we can be 95% confident that the true proportion falls within this range.

(c) The confidence interval calculation assumes the data follows a normal distribution. To use this method, we need a sufficiently large sample size, which is met in this case.

(d) To justify the news piece's statement that a majority of Americans support marijuana legalization, we need to check if the confidence interval includes values above 50%. If it does, then it supports the statement.

Solve the following equation. Then determine if the equation is an identity or a contradiction.2(3n + 3) - 9 = 6n

Answers

Let's solve the equation step by step:

1. Start with the equation: \(2(3n+3)-9=6n\).

2. First, distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:
\(6n + 6 - 9 = 6n\).

3. Next, simplify the equation by combining like terms. The 6n on both sides can be canceled out:
\(6 - 9 = 0\).

4. Simplify further:
\(-3 = 0\).

Now, let's analyze the result:

The equation \(-3 = 0\) is a contradiction. This means that there is no value of \(n\) that will satisfy the equation. In other words, there is no solution to this equation.
