Find the ratio a:b, if 2a−b/6 = b/3
1 answer:
If 2a−b/6 = b/3, then ratio a:b = 3 : 2
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that 2a−b/6 = b/3
We have to find the ratio of a:b
In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another
A ratio between two or more quantities is a way of measuring their sizes compared to each other
let us first solve the given expression
On cross multiplication we get,
6a - 3b = 6b
6a = 6b + 3b
6a = 9b
To convert a fraction to a ratio, first write down the numerator, or top number. Second, write a colon. Thirdly, write down the denominator, or bottom number
Therefore ratio a:b = 3 : 2

Firts we need to find the rate of change, or in other words, the slope of the line.
Question 1:
a)
For this we can take two points in the form (years, salary). Then we can define as year 0 the year when Gary starts to work. In this year the salary is $58,550. The first point is (0, $58,550)
The next point we can take is at the year 10, when the salary of Gary will be $71,950. The second point is (10, $71,950)
b) Now that we have the two points, we can use the slope formula to get the rate of change. The slope formula is, for two points A and B:
In this case, we can call the points A(0, $58,550) and B(10, $71,950). Using the formula:
c) "The rate of change in Gary's salary is $1340 per year."
Question 2:
a) The slope intercept form of a line is:
Where:
y is the output of the function.
x is the input of the function. (we provide the function with a value for x and the function give us a value of y)
m is the slope of the line. We calculate it in question 1.
x1 is the x coordinate of a point we choose.
y1 is the y-coordinate of the same point of x1.
In this case, we know:
m = 1340;
And we can take the point (0, $58,550), thus:
x1 = 0
y1 = 58,550
b) Now we need to use all this values and use the slope-intercept form:
And solve to get:
Question 3:
a) Now we have a equation for the salary, we can use this to find the salary in 13 years. We just need to replace x = 13 in the equation:
B) The salary of Gary in 13 years will be $75,970.
For the red line, we have:
gradient (
) = 1/3
y-intercept = 3
Equation of straight line is given by
, where is the gradient and 
is where the line intercept the y-axis
So we have,
The shaded part is above the line, hence the first inequality is
The black line, we have
gradient,
= 3
y-intercept = -2
, rearranging gives
The shaded region is to the right of the line, hence the inequality is
Note: The first option should be the correct answer but the inequality sign for <span>y > 1/3x + 3 should be </span>

1) In this question, we are going to make use of the formula for the area of that sector, to find the central angle.
2) So, let's write it out an expression involving the area of a circle, the unshaded area, and the shaded one and then plug into that the given data:
Thus, the centra angle of that shaded area is 72º
