To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.

Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = $\frac{15}{20}$ , and

12:16 = $\frac{12}{16}$

Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of $\frac{3}{4}$ .

12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of $\frac{3}{4}$ . Since $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ , these ratios are the same.

HELP pls What is the equation for the line? Enter your answer in the box.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

y=8x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, or m, pick 2 points.

I chose (0, 0) and (2, 16)

The use the slope formula

16-0/2-0

16/2

to find the y-intercept, or b, find the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is (0, 0). Take the y-coordinate, which is 0.

So,

y=8x+0

or y=8x

...............what is (9x^2-3)^6

Lelu [443]

Step 1. Factor out the common term $3$

$(3(3 x^{2}-1)^{6}$

Step 2. Use Multiplication Distributive Property: $(xy)^{a} = x^{a} y^{a}$

 $3^{6}(3 x^{2}-1)^{6}$

Step 3. Simplify $3^{6}$ to $729$

$729(3 x^{2}-1)^{6}$

Done!
