Step-by-step explanation:
We will learn how to solve proportion problems. We know, the first term (1st) and the fourth term (4th) of a proportion are called extreme terms or extremes, and the second term (2nd) and the third term (3rd) are called middle terms or means.
Therefore, in a proportion, product of extremes = product of middle terms
example
1. Check whether the two ratios form a proportion or not:
(i) 6 : 8 and 12 : 16; (ii) 24 : 28 and 36 : 48
Solution:
(i) 6 : 8 and 12 : 16
6 : 8 = 6/8 = 3/4
12 : 16 = 12/16 = 3/4
Thus, the ratios 6 : 8 and 12 : 16 are equal.
Therefore, they form a proportion.
Based on the model, 28.6 is the estimated increase, in inches, of a boy’s height each year.
Answer:
2(x - 7)(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² - 10x - 28 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(x² - 5x - 14) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)
The factors are - 7 and + 2 , since
- 7 × 2 = - 14 and - 7 + 2 = - 5 , thus
x² - 5x - 14 = (x - 7)(x + 2) and
2x² - 10x - 28 = 2(x - 7)(x + 2)
The greatest common factor is 1 (one)
A good way to remember Pi would be 3.1459. You can remember it in a song or just simply repeat it until you can memorize it.
