Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the ratio of a to b, or a/b

9/17 = 3a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by 17

17*9/17 =17* 3a/ (a+b)

9 = 51 a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by (a+b)

9 (a+b) = 51a

Distribute  the 9

9a +9b = 51a

Subtract 9a from each side

9a-9a +9b =51a-9a

9b = 42a

Divide each side by b

9b/b = 42a/b

9 = 42a/b

Divide each side by 42

9/42 = a/b

But we can simplify 9/42 because each is divisible by 3, so divide 9 and 42 by 3

3/14 = a/b

You are at a coffee shop and notice that as the temperature of the room gets colder, more people order hot beverages. From this
mina [271]

Answer:

negative relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

An experiment can be defined as an investigation which typically involves the process of manipulating an independent variable (the cause) in order to be able to determine or measure the dependent variable (the effect).

This ultimately implies that, an experiment can be used by scientists to show or demonstrate how a condition causes or gives rise to another i.e cause and effect, influence, behavior, etc in a sample.

Cause and effect can be defined as the relationship between two things or events in which an occurrence one (cause) leads to the occurrence of another (effect).

A negative relationship or correlation can be defined as the relationship between two variables in which there exist an inverse relationship between them i.e as one variable increases, the other decreases and vice-versa.

In this scenario, you are at a coffee shop and notice that as the temperature of the room gets colder, more people order hot beverages. From this observation, you conclude that there is a negative relationship between the temperature and hot beverage sales at this coffee shop because for the temperature to get colder it would decrease and for the hot beverages to be hot, its temperature must be increased.

Which of the following equations is of a parabola with a vertex at (0, -5)
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The x, which is zero in this case will always be the number that goes on the inside of the equation, so far you have y=(x+0)^2 or y=x^2.

The y, which is negative will go on the end of the equation. So you get y=x^2-5

The equation is y=x^2-5 or C if it is multiple choice
