$60,000. If she pays 15% in tax she gets to keep 85%. 51000 / .85 = 60,000. as well as 60,000 X .85 (or 85%) = 51,000.

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

$\sqrt{xy}$

The Arithmetic mean is

$\frac{x + y}{2}$

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

$\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} } = \frac{3}{5}$

We can write the equation;

$\sqrt{xy} = 3$

or

$xy = 9 - - - (2)$

l

and

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 5$

or

$x + y = 10 - - - (2)$

Make y the subject in equation 2

$y = 10 - x - - - (3)$

Put equation 3 in 1

$x(10 - x) = 9$

$10x - {x}^{2} = 9$

${x}^{2} - 10x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0$

$x =1 \: or \: 9$

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

$\frac{1}{9}$

Which expression is equivalent to 10x2y + 25x2?

babymother [125]

$10 x^{2} y +25 x^{2} = 5 x^{2} ( \frac{10 x^{2} y +25 x^{2} }{5 x^{2} }) = 5 x^{2} ( \frac{10 x^{2} y}{5 x^{2} } + \frac{25 x^{2} }{5 x^{2} } ) = 5 x^{2} ( \frac{2y}{1} + \frac{5}{1} )$

Answer A 5x² * ( 2y + 5)

In which quadrant would (8, -18) be in?

docker41 [41]

It would be in the fourth quadrant because x is positive and y is negative. The quadrants are labeled in counter-clockwise order, starting in the upper-right.
