Lara has three cats: Socks, Princess, and Luna. The ratio of Sock's weight to Princess's weight is 4:5. The ratio of Princess's

weight to Luna's weight is 6:7. What is the ratio of Sock's weight to Luna's weight?

A = Sock's weight
b = Princess' weight
c = Luna's weight

a : b = 4 : 5
b : c = 6 : 7

at this point, we have to change the 2 ratios (a : b and b : c) into one ratio (a : b : c)
to do that, we have to change the ratio number so the number b in both ratio is the same

a : b = 4 : 5 = 24 : 30
b : c = 6 : 7 = 30 : 35
From that we can conclude that
a : b : c = 24 : 30 : 35

Since we're looking for the ratio of Sock's weight to Luna's weight, it will be
a : c = 24 : 35

4:7 because 4 is sock's waeight and it says that in the first ratio and 7 is luna's weight because it says that in the last ratio

Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve (a lemniscate)
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

m=\frac{9}{13} and b=\frac{40}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of curve is

2(x^2+y^2)^2=25(x^2-y^2)

We need to find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point (-3, 1).

Differentiate with respect to x.

2[2(x^2+y^2)\frac{d}{dx}(x^2+y^2)]=25(2x-2y\frac{dy}{dx})

4(x^2+y^2)(2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx})=25(2x-2y\frac{dy}{dx})

The point of tangency is (-3,1). It means the slope of tangent is \frac{dy}{dx}_{(-3,1)}.

Substitute x=-3 and y=1 in the above equation.

4((-3)^2+(1)^2)(2(-3)+2(1)\frac{dy}{dx})=25(2(-3)-2(1)\frac{dy}{dx})

40(-6+2\frac{dy}{dx})=25(-6-2\frac{dy}{dx})

-240+80\frac{dy}{dx})=-150-50\frac{dy}{dx}

80\frac{dy}{dx}+50\frac{dy}{dx}=-150+240

130\frac{dy}{dx}=90

Divide both sides by 130.

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{9}{13}

If a line passes through a points (x_1,y_1) with slope m, then the point slope form of the line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The slope of tangent line is \frac{9}{13} and it passes through the point (-3,1). So, the equation of tangent is

y-1=\frac{9}{13}(x-(-3))

y-1=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{27}{13}

Add 1 on both sides.

y=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{27}{13}+1

y=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{40}{13}

Therefore, m=\frac{9}{13} and b=\frac{40}{13}.

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You see, this is simple division. Let's divide it.

-35/-7 = -42

5m-8=2m+2 <br><br> what does m equal
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

m = 10/3

<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

5m - 8 = 2m + 2

 5m - 8 = 2m + 2

- 2m       - 2m              <em>(make all "m" on one side to isolate variable)</em>

 3m - 8 = 2    

      + 8 + 8              <em>(get m entirely on 1 side)</em>

3m = 10

÷3      ÷3                         <em>(divide by 3 to get 1m)</em>

m = 10/3

<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>

<em />

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
