Answer:

False, 6:4 and 18:8 are equal ratios.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

6:4 ≠ 18:8

Explanation.

1. 6:4 = 6/4 = 3/2

2. 18:8= 18/8 = 9/4 = 3/2

Hence proved:

6:4 = 18:8

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratios are 6:4 and 18:8

This is not clear from the given ratios that they are equivalent.

We further simplify these ratios.

6 : 4 = $\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$

18 : 8 = $\frac{18}{8}=\frac{9}{4}$

Since these fractions are not equal therefore, these ratios can't be equivalent.

What is the general equation of a sine function with an amplitude of 6, a period of StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction, and a h

Katen [24]

Answer:

C: $y = 6 \sin (8(x-\frac{\pi}{2} ))$

Step-by-step explanation:

Amplitude is changed by multiplying the entire trig function by a number, by default the amplitude is 1, so multiplying by 6 is necessary; eliminate A and B

Horizontal shift is going through the x axis, so it must be subtracted from the x value. This is only seen in choice C of the remaining answers.

Calculating the period isn't necessary because we already found the right answer but in case you need it in the future; the period is by default 2pi, to get to pi/4, it had to be 8 times smaller, so multiplying x and translations on x by 8 will get you the correct period.
