Which of the following statements is false? Medal for whoever helps -|-5| = -5 -(-5) = 5 -|5| = -5 |-5| = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wanna D cause the absolute value is the distance from zero so it has to be positive For example: |3|=3 |-3|=3

OpenStudy (christos):

^

OpenStudy (study312):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

reason why is cause the | | makes it always positive and never negative even if it is negative it is positive with | |

OpenStudy (study312):

ok I'll delete it. But you get the joke right?

OpenStudy (study312):

Hey @L-Lawliet-L can you help with another one?

OpenStudy (study312):

Which of the following statements is false? If a number is a natural number, then it is rational. If a number is a whole number, then it is rational. If a number is a fraction, then it is rational. If a number is an integer, then it is irrational.

OpenStudy (study312):

I think it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rational means that it belongs to the domain R, that it is not irrational like numbers like pi that's infinite

OpenStudy (study312):

so what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say fraction, but not all of them, only the ones like 1/3

OpenStudy (study312):

huh? so is irrational a fraction?

OpenStudy (study312):

nvm irrational is pie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

u mean pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just thought of something

OpenStudy (study312):

yeah

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

most of em look wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually, every number that can NOT be written in a fraction is irrationnal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pi for example or else square roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think all of them are right

OpenStudy (study312):

so what is the answer to Which of the following statements is false? If a number is a natural number, then it is rational. If a number is a whole number, then it is rational. If a number is a fraction, then it is rational. If a number is an integer, then it is irrational.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I misread the last sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the last one

OpenStudy (study312):

ok thx
