There are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

An animal shelter had 45 animals adopted over one week. The ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

Combine ratio dogs:ferrets:cats = 5:1:9

Let's suppose the number of ferrets is x then:

5x + x + 9x = 45

15x = 45

x = 3

Ferrets x = 3

Dogs = 5x = 5(3) = 15

Cats = 9x = 9(3) = 27

Thus, there are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

Answer: 12m^2+19m-18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Speed of boat v=3m-2\ \text{knots per hour}

\text{time t= }4m+9\ \text{hours}

\Rightarrow \text{Distance =speed}\times \text{time}

\Rightarrow \text{Distance d=}(3m-2)\cdot (4m+9)\\\Rightarrow d=12m^2+19m-18

The formula Y=X⁴-4X³+3X² is growing?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The best way to know weather the formula y=x⁴-4x³+3x² is growing or not, is by graphing it.

As you can see in the attached picture:

  • For -inf<x< 0 the graph decreases.
  • For 0<x<0.634 the graph is growing
  • For 0,634<x<2.366 the graph decreases
  • For 2.366<x<+inf the graph is growing.

Therefore, the polynomial grows in the intervals stated before.
