Simplify 5.42 - 4.987

0.433

Step-by-step explanation:

5.42 - 4.987

Subtract each column of digits starting from right to left.

5.420

- 4.987

If the digit being subtracted is larger than the digit above it then borrow a digit from the next left column.

5.420

- 4.987

Borrow 1 from 5:

4.(10+4)20

- 4.987

4.(14)20

- 4.987

Borrow 1 from 14:

4.(13)(10+2)0

- 4.987

4.(13)(12)0

- 4.987

Borrow 1 from 12:

4.(13)(11)(10+0)

- 4.987

4.(13)(11)(10)

- 4.987

Subtract the second digit from the first:

(10 - 7 = 3):

4.(13)(11)(10)

- 4.987

= 3

(11 - 8 = 3):

4.(13)(11)

- 4.987

= 33

(13 - 9 = 4):

4.(13)

- 4.987

= 433

4.(13)

- 4.987

= .433

(4 - 4 = 0):

4.(13)

- 4.987

= 0.433

irrational, then, just means all the numbers that aren't rational. every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. however, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.

step-by-step explanation:

f(gx)=f(1/x+2)

=(1/x+2)+2

=(1+2x)/2+2

=(1+2x+4)/2

= (2x+5)/2
