Your answer is 0.8 or 80%
Explanation:

Consider the ratio written like a fraction:

Count of sandwichescount of people→46

But we need the count of sandwiches for 1 person. So we need to change the 6 people into 1 person. To change 6 into 1 divide it by 6

6÷6=1

For ratios, when multiplying or dividing, what we do to the bottomwe do to the top.

So to change 46 into what we want we apply

4÷66÷6=231← Count of sandwichescount of people

So each person ends up with 23 of a sandwich

Now see where the shortcut comes from 46=23 of a sandwich

Use a given information to create equation for the rational function. The function is written in factored form to help see how t

Mars2501 [29]

Recall that a rational function:

$\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)},$

has a vertical asymptote at x₀ if and only if:

$Q(x_0)=0.$

Also, the roots of the above rational function are the same as P(x).

Since the rational function has a vertical asymptote at x=-1, we get that its denominator must be:

$Q(x)=x+1\text{.}$

Since the rational function has a double zero at x=2 we get that its numerator must be of the form:

$P(x)=k(x-2)(x-2)\text{.}$

Finally, since the rational function has y-intercept at (0,2) we get that:

$2=\frac{P(0)}{Q(0)}=\frac{k(0-2)(0-2)}{0+1}\text{.}$

Simplifying the above equation we get:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{k(-2)(-2)}{1}=2, \\ 4k=2. \end{gathered}$

Dividing the above equation by 4 we get:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4k}{4}=\frac{2}{4}, \\ k=\frac{1}{2}\text{.} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rational function that satisfies the given conditions is:

$f(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}(x-2)(x-2)}{x+1}\text{.}$

Answer:

The numerator is:

$\frac{1}{2}(x-2)(x-2)$

The denominator is:

$(x+1)$

I need help with number 2 don’t understand it. someone help plz.

Sholpan [36]

I would say solve each diameter equation and order them fromleast to greatest, for example

1 Venus- 7.52×10 to the power of 3
So first simplify 10 to the power of 3 which is, 1000. Then you multiply 7.52 by 1000 which gets you 7520.

So solve each equation and order it

Brian has 16 yards of chain measured and cut at the. Hardware store. The chain will cost him 47.52$ how much is that per food? _

mojhsa [17]

3 feet= 1 yard

16*3= 48 feet.

47.52/48= 0.99

It will cost Brian $0.99 per foot.

Find the unit rate.

49.50/50= 0.99

No, it wouldn't. It would be the same price

0.99=0.99 It doesn't matter which one Brian chose. 

I hope this helps!
