Answer:
B) 42:28
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's get 12:18 simplified to make it easier to compare:
12:18 -> 4:6 - > <u>2:3</u>
Now let's check it against all the options:
A) 20:30 -> 2:3 and 2:3 = 2:3
Not our answer as it is congruent (equal too, the same as, etc)
B) We can see that the first number is larger than the second number, so without doing too much math we can see this is our answer!
42:28
(it simplifes to 6:4 -> 3:2)
(we do not have to do the following as we already have an answer, but here is the math)
C) 4:6
4:6 ->
2:3 = 2:3
D) 2:3
2:3 = 2:3
Answer:
a = 162
Step-by-step explanation:
9 = 1/27 a +3
Subtract 3 from each side
9-3 = 1/27 a +3-3
6 = 1/27 a
Multiply each side by 27
6*27 = 1/27 a *27
162 = a
Piecewise Function is like multiple functions with a speific/given domain in one set, or three in one for easier understanding, perhaps.
To evaluate the function, we have to check which value to evalue and which domain is fit or perfect for the three functions.
Since we want to evaluate x = -8 and x = 4. That means x^2 cannot be used because the given domain is less than -8 and 4. For the cube root of x, the domain is given from -8 to 1. That meand we can substitute x = -8 in the cube root function because the cube root contains -8 in domain but can't substitute x = 4 in since it doesn't contain 4 in domain.
Last is the constant function where x ≥ 1. We can substitute x = 4 because it is contained in domain.
Therefore:
![\large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = \sqrt[3]{ - 8} \\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Clarge%7B%20%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20f%28%20-%208%20%29%20%3D%20%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%20-%208%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20f%284%29%20%3D%203%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%7D)
The nth root of a can contain negative number only if n is an odd number.
