Lisa and her daughter weigh 185 pounds all together. The ratio of lisa’s weight to her daughter weight is 4:1 . How much does li
1 answer:
Since the ratio of mother to daughter is 4:1, the weight of the mother and daughter together is five times the weight of the daughter.
In fact, if the daughter weights pound, the mother weights
pounds, and the total weight is
.
We know that this total is 185 pounds, so we have
So, the daughter weights 37 pounds.

g(x) = (1/4)x^2 . correct option C) .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , and we need to find g(x) from the graph . Let's find out:
We have , . From the graph we can see that g(x) is passing through point (2,1 ) . Let's substitute this point in all of the four options !
A . g(x) = (1/4x)^2
Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = (x/4)^2 , we get :
⇒
⇒
Hence , wrong equation !
B . g(x) = 4x^2
Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = 4x^2 , we get :
⇒
⇒
Hence , wrong equation !
C . g(x) = (1/4)x^2
Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = (1/4)x^2 , we get :
⇒
⇒
Hence , right equation !
D . g(x) = (1/2)x^2
Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = (1/2)x^2 , we get :
⇒
⇒
Hence , wrong equation !
Therefore , g(x) = (1/4)x^2 . correct option C) .
