12:16= 3:4 when simplified
12-9=3
16-9=5
When subtracting 9 from each the new ratio is 3:5

Hope this helps!

What is the circumference of a round pizza with an area of 36 square inches?

Mariulka [41]

To make it easier, aprox pi=3.14
area=pir^2
36=area
36=pir^2
divide both sides by pi
36/pi=r^2
36/3.14=r^2
11.464=r^2
square root both sides
3.39=r

circumfernce=2pir
r=3.39
circumfrence=2pi times 3.39
circumference=pi times 6.78
circumference=3.14 times 6.78
circumfernce=21.29
answer is
circumference=21.29 in

Which is the graph of a quadratic equation that has a negative discriminant?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0

The quadratic formula gives the roots:

$x = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

D is the discriminant.

It tells us the number of roots to the equation — the number of times the graph crosses the x-axis.

$D = \begin{cases}\text{positive} & \quad \text{2 real solutions}\\\text{zero} & \quad \text{1 real solution}\\\text{negative} & \quad \text{0 real solutions}\\\end{cases}$
