let's divide the whole by the sum of its ratios, namely let's 160 ÷ (8+12), and then distribute accordingly.

$\bf \textit{160 at 8:12 ratio}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{8\cdot \frac{160}{8+12}}{12\cdot \frac{160}{8+12}}\implies \cfrac{8(8)}{12(8)}\implies \cfrac{64}{96}$

Write a polynomial equation in standard form with the following zeros<br><br> 4,9

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

y = x² - 13x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros x = 4 and x = 9, then the corresponding factors are

(x - 4) and (x - 9)

The polynomial is then the product of the factors

y = (x - 4)(x - 9) ← expand using FOIL

y = x² - 13x + 36

If f(x) = 7 + 4x and g(x)=1/2x, what is the value of (f/g)(5)?

Anestetic [448]

$f(x)=7+4x;\ g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x\\\\\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{7+4x}{\frac{1}{2}x}=\dfrac{2(7+4x)}{x}=\dfrac{14+8x}{x}\\\\\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(5)=\dfrac{f(5)}{g(5)}=\dfrac{14+8\cdot5}{5}=\dfrac{14+40}{5}=\dfrac{54}{5}=10.8$

A rectangular deck is 12 ft by 14 ft. When the length and width are increased by the same amount, the area becomes 288 sq . By h

julia-pushkina [17]

Well to get the area of 288 the dimensions would be a couple of things but 16 ft by 18 ft seems to work, so the dimensions increase by 4 ft on each side.

12+4=16
14+4=18

18*16=288

a = ( 1 , 6 )

b = ( 4 , 9 )

$slope = \frac{y(b) - y(a)}{x(b) - x(a)} \\$
