Explain what happens to the cross products when the terms of a proportion are cross multiplied.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The cross product is created

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. ... In problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

I hope this helped :)

Question 3 (4 MARKS) Find the equation of the tangents to the curve of the function with rule y = x^2 at the points where x = a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

(0 , -a²)

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent at x = a and x = -a

y = x²     (a , a²) and (-a , a²) must be on the curve and tangent to curve

gradient dy/dx = 2x

slope (m) at x = a is <u>2a</u>     and slope (m') at x=-a is<u> -2a</u>

line1: (y - a²) / (x - a) = 2a

        y - a² = 2a (x - a)                           y = 2ax - a²   ... (1)

line2: (y - a²) / (x + a) = - 2a                   y = -2ax- a²   ... (2)

(1) - (2): 4ax = 0       a≠0    x = 0

y = - a²

I wish I did it right, or ....

Choose the correct proportions.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

b) 5:7 = 15:21

Step-by-step explanation:

This questions tests our understanding of enlargement ratios.

#Determine the decimal equivalents or simplify to see which one is correct:

#a) 5:21 = 7:15

\frac{5}{7}=0.7143\\\\\frac{7}{15}=0.4667\\\\5:7\neq 7:15

#b) 5:7 = 15:21

=\frac{5}{7}\\\\=\frac{15}{21}=\frac{5}{7} \# dividing \ by \ 3\\\\\frac{5}{7}=\frac{15}{21}

#c) 5:7 = 21:15

\frac{5}{7}=0.7143\\\\\frac{21}{15}=1.4\\\\\frac{5}{7}\neq \frac{21}{15}

#d) 21:5 = 15:7

\frac{21}{15}=1.4\\\\\frac{15}{7}=2.1429\\\\\frac{21}{15}\neq \frac{15}{7}

Hence, option b is the correct one as 5:7 = 15:21
