white : milk : dark

w : m : d

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

(w+m) : d = 17:4

---------

We treat the colons as fraction bars and cross multiply.

4w = 3(m+d) = 3m + 3d

4w + 4m = 17 d

Subtracting,

4m = 17d - (3m+3d) = 14d - 3m

7m = 14 d

m/d = 14/7

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m+d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

Answer: 9:8:4

Check:

white to non white 9 to 8+4=12 = 3:4, good

non dark to dark (9+8):4=17:4, good

A water balloon is tossed into the air. The function h(x)=-0.5(x-4)squared +9 gives the height, in the feet, of the balloon from
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

No, the maximum height that the balloon can reach is 9ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

The function h(x) =-0.5(x-4)² +9, is a Quadratic Function in the Vertex form.

Vertex form: f (x) = a(x - h) 2 + k

Where:

  • (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola-
  • h is the horizontal shift (how far left, or right, the graph has shifted from x = 0).  
  • k represents the vertical shift (how far up, or down, the graph has shifted from y = 0).  

In this case a = -0.5, it means that the parabola opens downward and has a maximum point at the vertex.

So, the maximum height that the balloon can reach is k=9ft.

9 ∠ 12

The balloon will not hit the ceiling 12 ft above the pool.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A regular octagon with side length a cm can be made by cutting off
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

one side = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

if you draw an octagon on a piece of paper, you can draw a square around it, you should be able to see a diagram of this attached, ignore the 6.

Let's say TP = a

since it's a regular octagon, TP = HT

and using the Pythagoras Theorem,  we know a² + b² = c² and thus:

√(AT² + HA²) = HT

and since AT = HA which we will call x, the equation becomes:

√(2x²) = HT = a

rearrange the equation to solve for x and you get:

2x² = a²

x² = \frac{a^{2} }{2}

x = \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}

which, if you rationalise the denominator, you get:

x = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}

Can an equilateral triangle ever be a right triangle too?
True [87]
No, it never can be a right triangle. 

First, all the angles of an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees because all angles are the same and all the angles add up to 180:

180/3 = 60.

So if it is a right angle it needs one angle 90 degrees which an equilateral triangle can't have,

What is the standard form of the linear function that passes
babunello [35]

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4})

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2(y-1)=2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}(x-4) \right)}\implies 2y-2 = 3(x-4)\implies 2y-2=3x-12 \\\\\\ -3x+2y-2=-12\implies -3x+2y=-10\implies \stackrel{\times -1\textit{ to both sides}}{3x-2y=10}
