Two numbers are in the ratio 3:2. if 5 subtracted to each

Mathematics
1 answer:
eduard3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

3 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 3 : 2 = 3x : 2x ( x is a multiple )

When 5 is subtracted from both , that is

3x - 5 : 2x - 5 = 2 : 3

Expressing the ratio in fractional form

\frac{3x-5}{2x-5} = \frac{2}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3(3x - 5) = 2(2x - 5) ← distribute both sides

9x - 15 = 4x - 10 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x - 15 = - 10 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 1

Thus the 2 numbers are

3x = 3(1) = 3 and 2x = 2(1) = 2

If the parent graph f(x) = x² is changed to f(x) = 2x², the vertex of the parabola will still remain (0, 0) because whenever the equation of a parabola is in the form y = ax², the vertex will always be (0, 0).

Now if <em>a</em> is a big number, the parabola will become narrower.

So it will stretch vertically and become narrower.

Answer:

Triangle APB is an isosceles triangle ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the how to solve the problem

- ABCD is a square

∴ AB = BC = CD = AD

∴ m∠A = m∠∠B = m∠C = m∠D = 90°

- DPC is equilateral triangle

∴ DP = PC = DC

∴ m∠DPC = m∠PCD = m∠CDP = 60°

- In the Δs APD , BPC

∵ AD = BC ⇒ sides of the square

∵ PD = PC ⇒ sides of equilateral triangle

∵ m∠ADB = m∠BCP = 30° (90° - 60° = 30) ⇒ including angles

∴ Δs APD , BPC are congregant ⇒ SAS

- From congruent

∴ AP = BP

∴ Triangle APB is an isosceles triangle
