Answer:

yes both given ratios are equal if reduced.  

Step-by-step explanation:

On simplifying 30:12  we can see that common divisor of 30 and 12 is 6

therefore on dividing it by 6 ,we get ratio 5:2

Likewise 40 :16 has common divisor as 8 , therefore on dividing the ratio by 8 ,we get ratio as 5:2 again

Here we can see that simplest form of ratios for both is same as 5:2  

therefore the answer is yes both given ratios are equal if reduced.

Yes, borh ratios when reduced are 5:2. 30:12 is 5:2 because both are divisible by 6. 30/6=5 and 12/6=2. 40:16 is 5:2 because both are divisible by 8, 40/8=5 and 16/8=2

nalin [4]

Answer:

1. 1/4 4 1 4 4 16 64 1024

2. 118

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 16 is obtained as 1024/64 = 16

before 16 goes: 64/16 = 4

before 4 goes: 16/4 = 4

before the second 4 goes: 4/4 = 1

before 1 goes: 4/1 = 4

before the third 4 goes: 1/4

2. From row 1 to row k, there are k² numbers (notice that rows finished in 1, 4, 9, etc., all perfect squares). 12² = 144, so 140 is on 12th row.

A number in row k is 2k less than the number directly below it. For example, 3 is on 2nd row, then is 2*2 = 4 units less than the number directly below it, which is 7.

The number above 140 is on the 11th row, then above 140 is 140 - 2*11 = 118.

A) x and y are two numbers taken from the list below.
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)

i) we have the equation:

3*x - 2*y

We want to find a common multiple of 3 and 2.

One can be:

3*6 = 18

2*9 = 18

And both numbers 6 and 9 are on the list, then if we take:

x = 6, y = 9

we get:

3*6 - 2*9 = 18 - 18 = 0

The solution is x = 6, y = 9.

ii) The greatest possible value of:

3*x - 2*y

Will be when x is the largest value of the list (because it is on the positive term) and y is the smallest value on the list (because it is on the negative term)

then we need to have x = 10, y = 5

The value will be:

3*10 - 2*5 = 30 - 10 = 20

iii) Now we want to have the smallest value on x, and the largest one on y, then:

x = 5, y = 10

The smallest value of the equation will be:

3*5 - 2*10 = 15 - 20 = -5

B) We want to solve:

5*(a - 4*b)

when:

a = -7

b = 1/4

This is kinda easy, we just need to replace the variables in the equation to get:

5*(a - 4*b) = 5*(-7 - 4*(1/4)) = 5*(-7 - 4/4) = 5*-8 = -40

A square is inscribed in a circle such that each corner touches the circle.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

A(r) = √2 * r

A(r) Domain is   R { r ;  r > 0}

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals of a square intercept each other in a 90° angle. The four triangles resulting from diagonal interception are equal and are isosceles triangles, with hipotenuse a side of the square

Therefore we apply  Pythagoras theorem

Let   x be side of square, and r radius of the circle, ( diagonals touch the circle) then

x²  =  r² + r²

x²  = 2r²

x   =  √2 * r

Now Aea of square is :

A  =  L²          where L is square side

A(r)  = √2 * r

Domain of A(r)    =   R { r, r > 0}
