Option A

<u>Answer:  </u>

\frac{36}{54} \text { and } \frac{6}{9} are proportional.

<u>Solution:</u>

If two fractions are equal, than it is said to be in proportion.

Case 1:  

Consider option A

Given fractions are \frac{36}{54} \text { and } \frac{6}{9}

\frac{36}{54}=\frac{9 \times 2 \times 2}{9 \times 2 \times 3}=\frac{2}{3} \text { and } \frac{6}{9}=\frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3}=\frac{2}{3}

Hence both the fractions are equal. So they are propotional.

Case 2:

Consider option 2

Given fractions \frac{6}{7} \text { and } \frac{16}{21} cannot be simplified further. Also both the fractions are not equal. So they are not propotional.

Case 3:

Consider option 3

Given fractions are \frac{21}{36} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}

\frac{21}{36}=\frac{7 \times 3}{6 \times 6}=\frac{7}{12} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}=\frac{7 \times 3}{6 \times 7}=\frac{1}{2}

Hence \frac{7}{12} \text { and } \frac{1}{2} are not equal. Hence they are not propotional.

Case 4:

Consider option 4  

Given fractions are \frac{14}{35} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}

\frac{14}{35}=\frac{7 \times 2}{7 \times 5}=\frac{2}{5} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}=\frac{7 \times 3}{7 \times 6}=\frac{1}{2}

Hence \frac{2}{5} \text { and } \frac{1}{2} are not equal. Hence they are not propotional.

The answer for the given question is option A

Simplify the expression to a polynomial in standard form.<br> (x-2)(x2 +7x +4)
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x  - 2)(x² + 7x + 4) = x(x² + 7x + 4) - 2*(x² + 7x + 4)

                              = x*x² + x*7x + 4*x  - 2*x² -2* 7x -2* 4

                               = x³ + 7x² + 4x - 2x²  -14x -8

                                = x³ + <u>7x² - 2x²</u>    <u>+  4x - 14x</u> - 8

                                = x³ + 5x² - 10x - 8
