The measure of two complementary angles are in the ratio 1 : 4. What are the degree measures of the two angles?

1 answer:

6 0

Since the angles are complementary, they add to 90°. So we can write the equation:
x represents the first angle, and 4x represents the second
x+4x=90
5x=90
x=18

So the first angle is 18° and the second is 72° (18*4)

Hope this helps

Carlos used 6 boards to build 2/3 of a front porch. How many boards will Carlos use to build the whole porch? Express your answe

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

9 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of the porch= 6 boards

so to figure out how much one third of the porch needs you find half of what it takes to fill in 2/3 of the porch and you get 3.

so 3=1/3 of the porch

then you simply do 3times 3 or 3+3+3 and you get 9

so it takes 9 boards to fill the whole porch

Find the equation, f(x) = a(x-h)2 + k, for a parabola that passes through the point (0, 0) and has (-3, -6) as its vertex. What

Arisa [49]

F(x) = a(x-h)² + k

Given that the vertex is (-3 -6):

f(x) = a(x + 3)² -6

Given that it passes through (0.0), find a:

a(0 + 3)² - 6 = 0

9a - 6 = 0

9a = 6

a = 6/9 =2/3

So the equation is :

f(x) = 2/3(x + 3)² -6

Write the equation in standard form:

f(x) = 2/3(x² + 6x + 9) - 6

f(x) = 2/3x² + 4x + 6 - 6

f(x) = 2/3x² + 4x

Answer: f(x) = 2/3x² + 4x
