Answer:

Larger fraction = 24/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Smaller fraction = 8/3

Larger fraction = ?

Let the larger fraction is x/y then according to the statement:

8/3 / x/y = 7/9

Rule: When there is a fraction in the denominator of a fraction, the lower fraction is reversed and multiplied with the upper one.

So, according to rule:

8/3 * y/x = 7/9

8y/ 3x = 7/9      

Now multiplying both sides by 3/8 we get

8y/ 3x * 3/8 = 7/9 *3/8

After cancellation:

y/x = 21/ 72

By reducing it to lowest form (dividing both by 3)

We ge:

y / x = 7/ 24

This means y= 7

                   x = 24

So the larger fraction will become: x/y =24/7      

  • Proof:

Smaller fraction / Larger fraction = 7/9

8/3 / 24/7 = 7/9

Applying Rule:

8/3 * 7/24 = 7/9

56/ 72 = 7/9

Reducing it to lowest fraction: (dividing both by 8)

7/9 = 7/9

Hence proved

I hope it will help you!

Ok. because those two angles are sumplimentary, (they equal 180 degrees) we can set up an equations.
3n+n+14=180

then isolate the variable
4n+14=180 
     -14   -14
4n=166

then divide to undo the multiplication

4n=166
---   ----
4      4
 
n=41.5

From the graph we can observe that G(x) is obtained by shifting F(x) 3 units to the left and 1 unit upwards.

Thus, both horizontal and vertical translations are involved. Horizontal translation of 3 units to left can be obtained by adding 3 to x in the equation and vertical translation of 1 can be obtained by adding 1 to the entire function.

So,

G(x) = F(x+3) + 1

G(x) = (x+3)² + 1

Thus the correct answer is option C
