The desired linear functions are given as follows:

a) x = a.

b) y = b.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

A vertical line has undetermined slope, hence it is defined by x = a, containing point (a,b).

A horizontal line has slope of 0, hence it is defined by y = b, containing point (a,b).

The ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2.What is the ratio of their area

Nezavi [6.7K]

The ratio of their area is 9/4

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We use ratios to compares values. In this exercise, we are comparing the circumference of two circles, which is:

$3:2$

and we want to know what is the ratio of their area. Recall that the circumference of a circle is given by:

$C=2\pi r \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ C:Circumference \\ \\ r:Radius \ of \ the \ circle$

If we define:

$C_{1}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ C_{2}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 2 \\ \\ r_{1}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ r_{2}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 2$

Then, the ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2 is:

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{2\pi r_{1}}{2\pi r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2}$

The area of a circle is given by:

$A=\pi r^2 \\ \\ A:Area \\ \\ r:Radius$

So the ratio of their area can be found as:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{\pi r_{1}^2}{\pi r_{2}^2} \\ \\ \\ A_{1}:Area \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ A_{2}:Area \ of \ circle \ 2$

So:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{r_{1}^2}{r_{2}^2}=\left( \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} \right)^2 \\ \\ \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \\ \\ \boxed{\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{9}{4}}$
