5, 10 ,15  

divide each by 5

1,2, 3

so the ratios should be 1,2,3

Metal 1 : divide by 150

1,2,4

Metal 2 divide by 130

1,2,3

Metal 3  divide by 310

1,2,3

Metal 4 divide by 140

1,2,3

Metal 1 is not proportional

The function f is such that f(x) = x^2 – 2x + 3
aev [14]

Answer:

x = - 4, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 2x + 3 and f(x) = 27, then equating the 2 gives

x² - 2x + 3 = 27 ( subtract 27 from both sides )

x² - 2x - 24 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

The factors are - 6 and + 4, since

- 6 × 4 = - 24 and - 6 + 4 = - 2, thus

(x - 6)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Math word problem,<br> thank you
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

$81.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Week 1:

250 * 20% = 50

250 - 50 = 200

Week 2:

200 * 20% = 40

200 - 40 = 160

Week 3:

160 * 20% = 32

160 - 32 = 128

Week 4:

128 * 20% = 25.6

128 - 25.6 = 102.4

Week 5:

102.4 * 20% = 20.48

102.4 - 20.48 = 81.92

caroline wants to give 8 equal size packets of flower seeds to her friends. She has 1/2 pounds flower seeds. How much will each
scoray [572]
We want to divide 1/2 pound in 8 equal parts

1/2 dividend by 8/1 is the same as
1/2 multiplied by 1/8 =1•1/2•8=1/16
Each package will weigh 1/16 of a pound
Or 1 ounce since 1 pound = 16 oz

The proof diagram to complete the question state the missing reason in the proof for the letter given
melisa1 [442]

ANSWER

First proved that line p is parallel to line r

to proof

As given in the question

∠1 ≈∠5

∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles

by using the property of the corresponding angles

 two lines are cut by a transversal so that the corresponding angles are


congruent, then these lines are parallel.


As shown in diagram q is transversal line.

Thus by using the above property

line p is parallel to line r.

proof of 1(a)

REASON

Vertically opposite angle

The pair of angles formed when two lines intersect each other are called vertically opposite angles.

Thus

∠4 and ∠1 are vertically opposite angle

thus

∠4 ≈∠ 1

proof of 2(b)

REASON

Alternate interior angle

the pairs of angles on either side of the transversal and inside the two lines are called the alternate interior angles . If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles formed are congruent .

as line p is parallel to line r (proof above)

q is transversal

thus

∠4 ≈∠ 5

Hence proved

proof of 3 (c)

As ∠4 ≈∠5 (proof above)  

REASON

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that the alternate interior angles

are congruent, then these lines are parallel.

Thus by above property

line p is parallel to line r

Hence proved

Solve using DISTANCE = RATE X TIME
wariber [46]
The rate is speed which 50m/h. so he left the home at 10:00 and arrived at noon which 12:00pm so the difference is 2 hours which means he took 2 hours to get there.
to find the distance.
