How do I know if two ratios are equal to make a proportion

One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional.

Consider the surface f (x comma y comma z )f(x,y,z)equals=negative 2 x squared plus 2 y squared minus 3 z squared plus 3 equals
trapecia [35]

Answer:

a) (8,8,-6)

b) 4x+4y+3z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The surface is given by the equation  

f(x,y,z) = 0 where

f(x,y,z)=-2x^2+2y^2-3z^2+3

The gradient of this function is the vector

(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\frac{\partial f}{\partial y},\frac{\partial f}{\partial z})=(-4x,4y,-6z)

If we evaluate it in the point P = (-2,2,1) we obtain the point

(8,8,-6)

b)

The vectors with their tails at P are of the form  

(-2,2,1)-(x,y,z) = (-2-x, 2-y, 1-z)

as they must be orthogonal to the gradient, they must be orthogonal to the vector (8,8,6) so their inner product is 0

(-2-x,2-y,1-z)\cdot(8,8,6)=0\Rightarrow -16-8x+16-8y+6-6z=0\Rightarrow 4x+4y+3z=-3

and the equation of the desired plane is

4x+4y+3z = -3

The graph of the derivative of a function f crosses the x-axis 3 times. What does this tell you about the graph of f ?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

D. The function f has 3 horizontal tangent lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Well whenever any function crosses the x-axis, it means that the y-value is equal to zero.

In this case when the derivative passes the x-axis it indicates the tangent line corresponding to that x-value has a slope of zero, which when plotted is a horizontal line.

This means that the graph f has 3 horizontal tangent lines.

Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sol
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: the number of adult tickets sold is 400

the number of student tickets sold is 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold at the play.

Let y represent the number of student tickets sold at the play.

Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. If the income from the play was $1,700, it means that

1.75x + 1.25y = 1700 - - - - - - - - - -1

Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. This means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

1.75x + 1.25 × 2x = 1700= 1700

1.75y + 2.5y = 1700

4.25y = 1700

y = 1700/4.25 = 400

x = y/2 = 400/2 = 200
