Answer:

  D)  5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When the line goes through the origin, its slope is the ratio of y to x coordinates of points on that line. Thus the given line has slope ...

  given slope = 2/-5 = -2/5

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite of the reciprocal of this value:

  perpendicular slope = -1/(-2/5) = 5/2

Create a 3rd degree<br> polynomial and divide it by x-2. Show all steps. WILL MARK BRAINLEST!
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Monomial = x^2, 1 term

Binomial = x^2 + x, 2 terms

Trinomial = x^2 + x + 3, three terms

Binomial is more than 3 terms

Let's do a 3rd degree polynomial like:

{x}^{3}  + 2x^{2}  + 4x + 8

  • Now let's put parenthesis around (x^3 + 2x^2) and (4x + 8)
  • Let's treat both of these as seperate for now. In the first part, you can see an x^2 can be factored out of it

  • For example:

{x}^{2} (x + 2)

  • As you can see, if you do the distributive property, it equals the original.

Now let's factor the second part, the 4x + 8. This can be factored by a 4.

4(x + 2)

Your new equation is:

\frac{( {x}^{2}  + 4)(x + 2)}{x - 2}

x^2 + 4 can be factored again down to (x + 2)(x + 2)

YOUR FINAL EQUATION IS:

\frac{(x + 2)(x + 2)(x + 2)}{x - 2}

Which two ratios form a proportion? a) 4 20 and 1 5 b) 4 20 and 2 5 c) 20 4 and 1 5 d) 20 4 and 2 5
Alik [6]

A is proportional.

Lets simplify the problem,

← divide numerator/ denominator by 4

= 4/20= 1/5

Thus A form a proportion

≠ 1/5

Thus B is not a proportion

← divide numerator/ denominator by 4

=  2/5 ≠ 1/5

Thus C is not a proportion

5/1 ≠ 1/5

Thus D is not a proportion

A is proportional.
