The first thing we must do for this case is to look for the area of each rectangle.
We have then:
A1 = (40) * (x)
A2 = (1.25 * 40) * (y)
Then, we have the following relationship between areas:
"the area of Q is 10% less than the area of p"
A2 = 0.9 * A1
Substituting values we have:
(1.25 * 40) * (y) = 0.9 * ((40) * (x))
We rewrite:
50y = 36x
The relationship x: y is:
x / y = (50) / (36)
Simplifying:
x / y = (25) / (18)
Answer:
the ratio of x:y is:
25:18

Y=x-5; domain = {4,6,8}

Answer:

Range = {-1, 1, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question asks for the range.</em></u>

The function given is

$y=x-5$

The domain is the set of 3 numbers:

Domain = {4,6,8}

We need to find the range.

First, the range is the set of all y-values for which the function is defined.

When we will be given the domain with a set of numbers, the range would be the numbers that we get when we evaluate the the function at those numbers.

So, we evaluate the function (y-values) at x = 4,6, and 8.

At x = 4:

$y=x-5\\y=4-5\\y=-1$
