Respuesta :

To complete each portion, use the x and y values provided. x=0.63 y=0.636363 Does x have a rational number? Is y a rational number? Justify your responses. The given value x=0.63 is a rational number. The given y=0.636363 is a ration number.

here, the rational number is any number that can be expressed as p/q, where q is not equal to zero (q[tex]\neq[/tex]0).

Given x=0.63.

We can write x as [tex]\frac{63}{100}[/tex].

So, here x=[tex]\frac{63}{100}[/tex] is in the form of [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex].

Therefore, x=0.63 is a rational number.

Now, Given y=0.636363....

Take the y=0.636363.... as equation (1)

Multiply the equation (1) with 100.

We get 100y=63.636363....

Take 100y=63.636363... as equation (2)

Substract equation(2) and equation (1)

We get  100y-y =63.636363...-0.636363...

99y=63

y=[tex]\frac{63}{99}[/tex].

So, here y=[tex]\frac{63}{99}[/tex] is in the form of [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex].

Therefore, y=0.636363... is a rational number.
