Answer:

\frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

\sqrt{xy}

The Arithmetic mean is

\frac{x + y}{2}

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} }  =  \frac{3}{5}

We can write the equation;

\sqrt{xy}  = 3

or

xy = 9 -  -  - (2)

l

and

\frac{x + y}{2}  = 5

or

x + y = 10 -  -  - (2)

Make y the subject in equation 2

y = 10 - x -  -  - (3)

Put equation 3 in 1

x(10 - x) = 9

10x -  {x}^{2}  = 9

{x}^{2}  - 10x + 9 = 0

(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0

x =1  \: or \: 9

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

\frac{1}{9}

A scuba diver is 30 feet below the surface of the water 10 seconds after he entered the water and 100 feet below the surface aft
den301095 [7]

Answer:

2.3 feet/ second

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, we will have to find the difference in his distance travelled and divide it by the time taken to move that distance.

This is given by rate of change = (change in position)/ change in time

From the question, his position changed from 30 ft to 100 ft thus the distance he travelled is = 100ft - 30 ft = 70 ft.

Time taken to travel this distance = 40 seconds - 10 seconds = 30 seconds

Diver's rate of travel = 70 ft / 30 seconds = 2.33333ft/second.

Rounding off the answer to the nearest tenth, we have 2.3 ft/second

If 18 is subtracted from twice the square of an integer, the
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the integer:

2x^2 - 18 = 9x

2x^2 - 9x - 18 = 0

Now either factor that or use the quadratic formula if you're lazy like me.

x = -3/2 and 6, so x must be 6 because it has to be an integer.
