Answer:

D. 1/4 and 9/36

Step-by-step explanation:

If two ratios make a proportion then it can be shown as:

a/b = c/d ⇒ ad = bc

Let's verify the answer choices with this method

A. 1/4 and 5/25

1*25 = 4*5
25 = 20, incorrect, not a proportion

B. 1/4 and 7/24

1*24 = 4*7
24 = 28, incorrect, not a proportion

C. 1/4 and 10/48

1*48 = 4*10
48 = 40, incorrect, not a proportion

D. 1/4 and 9/36

1*36 = 4*9
36 = 36, correct, this is a proportion

Solve the following equation for X. Round your answer to four decimal places.

strojnjashka [21]

ANSWER

x = 1.2226

EXPLANATION

To solve this equation we have to apply the property of the logarithm of the base,

$\log _bb=1$

Thus, we can apply the natural logarithm - whose base is e, to both sides of the equation,

$\ln e^{4x}=\ln 133$

Now we apply the property of the logarithm of a power,

$\log a^b=b\log a$

In our equation,

$\begin{gathered} 4x\ln e^{}=\ln 133 \\ 4x^{}=\ln 133 \end{gathered}$

Then divide both sides by 4 and solve,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4x^{}}{4}=\frac{\ln 133}{4} \\ x\approx1.2226 \end{gathered}$

The solution to this equation is x = 1.2226, rounded to four decimal places.

A department store sells small boxes in which customers can store potpourri. The diagram below shows one of the boxes. The diagr

larisa86 [58]

The lateral area is expressed as the product of the perimeter of the base and the height. While the surface area is the sum of all areas. The lateral area and the surface area of the box is calculated as follows:

LA = Ph
P = 2l + 2w = (2 x 17) + (2 x 5) = 44 cm
LA = 44 cm x 3.12 cm = 137.28 cm

SA = 2(lw + wh + lh)
SA = 2[(17x5) + (5x3.12) + (17x3.12)]
SA = 307.28 cm

Thus, the lateral area and the surface area are 137 cm and 307 cm, respectively.

Simplify.

Citrus2011 [14]

First I'd expand the brackets so that you can re-simplify the values, so:
(2x + 3)(3x + 4)
6x^2 + 9x + 8x + 12
6x^2 + 17x + 12
The answer A. 2x(3x + 4) + 3(3x + 4) can be simplified the same way, with 6x^2 + 8x + 9x + 12, and so the answer is A. I hope this helps!

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (1, 1) and a directrix of y = −1? PLs HELP!!

Delicious77 [7]

ANSWER
$f(x)= \frac{1}{4} {(x - 1)}^{2}$

EXPLANATION

Since the directrix is
$y = - 1$

the axis of symmetry of the parabola is parallel to the y-axis.

Again, the focus being,

$(1,1)$

also means that the parabola will open upwards.

The equation of parabola with such properties is given by,

${(x - h)}^{2} = 4p(y - k)$
where
$(h,k)$

is the vertex of the parabola.

The directrix and the axis of symmetry of the parabola will intersect at
$(1, - 1)$

The vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix.

This implies that,
$h = \frac{1 + 1}{2} = 1$

and
$k = \frac{ - 1 + 1}{2} = 0$

The equation of the parabola now becomes,

$(x - 1) ^{2} = 4p(y - 0)$

$|p| = 1$

Thus, the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

This means that,

$p = - 1 \: or \: 1$

Since the parabola opens up, we choose
$p = 1$
Our equation now becomes,

${(x - 1)}^{2} = 4(1)(y - 0)$

This simplifies to
${(x - 1)}^{2} = 4y$

or

$y = \frac{1}{4} {(x - 1)}^{2}$

This is the same as,

$f(x)= \frac{1}{4} {(x - 1)}^{2}$

The correct answer is D .
