Answer: point F is at <u> 0.6 </u> on the number line
=============================================================
Explanation:
The ratio 2:3 scales up to 2x:3x for some positive real number x.
This means the distance from D to F is 2x units, and the distance from F to E is 3x units. Combine those two smaller distances to get 2x+3x = 5x to represent the full distance from D to E.
D is at -3 and E is at 6. This is a distance of 9 units since |-3-6| = |-9| = 9
Set this equal to the 5x from earlier and solve
5x = 9
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
This leads to 2x = 2*1.8 = 3.6
Therefore, we'll move 3.6 units from -3 to -3+3.6 = 0.6 which is the location of point F on the number line.
Notice that from 0.6 to 6 is 5.4 units and that 3x = 3*1.8 = 5.4 matches up to help confirm the answer.
Answer:
Option C = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
In principle when a function <em>f(x) </em>varies directly with <em>x</em> it suggests that any changes in x results in the equivalent changes in<em> f(x)</em>. If we have two variables, i.e. <em>y</em> representing<em> f(x)</em> and <em>x</em> representing itself, any increment/decrement in <em>x</em> will result to the same increment/decrement in <em>y</em> by a factor <em>a, thus we can say that y = ax, implying y and x have the same ratio. </em>
In the given question we know that <em></em> when
<em>, </em>which translates as
This tells us that varies by a factor (lets call it)
for a given value of
.
To find this factor we can just divide 45 with 9 which gives:
Thus the factor here is
which finally tells us that
Eqn (1) our original function.
Since we now know our function we can plug in the value for and solve for
as follow:
Looking at the given options in the question we can conclude that the correct answer is Option C = 15
