2/9 is less than 2/5 because since the denominator is larger, the pieces are smaller. (Numerator)

Answer: D. 2/9 - the reason I knew this was smaller was because the numerator(number in the top part of the fraction) stayed the same, but the denominator increased meaning we are dividing the same amount by a larger number of divisions. This means that it will be a smaller fraction.

Why do none of the other answer choices fit? Well, either the numerator increased or both the numerator and denominator increased by a margin that made the final fraction larger than the original 2/5.

Any questions?

Which of the equations below represents

Ray Of Light [21]

The equation that represents the graph of the ellipse is x² / 4 + y² / 100 = 1. (Correct choice: D)

<h3>What is the equation of the ellipse represented in the graph?</h3>

Herein we have a representation of an ellipse in the image attached aside, ellipses are characterized by the following <em>standard</em> formula:

(x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1 (1)

Where:

(h, k) - Coordinates of the center
a, b - Lengths of the semiaxes

Please notice that ellipse will be vertical if b > a, otherwise it will be horizontal. The graph exhibits a <em>vertical</em> ellipse centered at the origin and therefore we conclude that (h, k) = (0, 0) and b > a (b = 10, a = 2). Finally, the equation that represents the graph of the ellipse is x² / 4 + y² / 100 = 1. (Correct choice: D)

L.S.A.=1/2pl where p represents the perimeter of the base and l the slant height.
L.S.A. = ½(4*32)(24)
L.S.A. = ½ (128)(24)
L.S.A. =1/2(3072)
L.S.A. = 1536 cm

Question 2 of 5<br> Which best defines a ray?

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

A ray is known as a half-infinity line. As it starts from a point while the other end is pointing towards the direction till infinity.

As already discussed ray shows a direction as well, therefore, it is a vector quantity and is denoted by an arrow over the line name.

As shown below a ray can be drawn. therefore, which is starting from point A and continuing toward the right side infinity.

Nina [5.8K]

The maximum units is 200 and , Total revenue is $8,000

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A manufacturer finds that the revenue generated by selling of cortan commodity is given by function R(x)=80x-0.2x^ 2 , where he maximum reveremany should be manufactured to obtain this maximum units .Let's find out:

We have following function as $R(x)=80x-0.2x^ 2$ . Let's differentiate this and equate it to zero to find value of x for which the function is maximum!
