N= numerator
D= denominator

N:D ==> 2:3

2:3, 4:6, 6:9... And so on...

The pattern here is that the numerator increases by 2 and the denominator by 3. Easy right?

Now 5 is added to the "n".

Now it is N:D ==> 3:2

3:2, 6:4, 9:6... And so on...

The pattern here is inverted then the 2:3 one.

If I'm right then which one (you might have to continue the process/pattern) then one of them will increase by 5.

3 => 2 = +1 (2+1=3)
6 => 4 = +2 (4+2=6)
9 => 6 = +3 (6+3=9)
12 => 8 = +4 (8+4=12)
15 => 10 = +5 (10+5=15)
18 => 12= +6 (12+6=18)

Q. Which one is +5?

A. 15:10

That is what "I" think it is.

Now, the question is,
Does it work? Does it fit the above description?

Q. Does it even work? Does it fit the above description?

Simplify (1/4 ad^3)^2
Dima020 [189]
That "ad^3" bothers me; I'm not sure what you mean here.

I'm going to assume that you have     (1/4*a*d^3)^2.

If that's the case, then you have (1/4)^2 * a^2 * d^6 = (1/16)*a^2*d^6.

If this is not what you were hoping for, double check to ensure that you have copied down this problem exactly as it was presented.

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x^3 – 5x^2 + 3x – 5) + (8x^4 + 3x^3 + 5x^2 + x + 4)

Group like terms

8x^4+6x^3+3x^3-5x^2+5x^2+3x+x-5+4

<h3>Answer: 54 degrees (third choice)</h3>

Explanation:

AB is a diameter of circle C. This leads to angle ACB being 180 degrees. By Thales Theorem (a special case of the inscribed angle theorem) we know that angle D is 90 degrees.

Therefore, triangle ADB is a right triangle. The acute angles (A and B) add to 90, and we can say they are complementary angles.

A+B = 90

36+B = 90

B = 90-36

B = 54 degrees
