Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ratio is irreducible, and they are different. Hence they are not the same value, so cannot be a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios.

5 : 3 = 40 : 24

13 : 8 = 39 : 24 . . . . not the same as 40 : 24

_____

Examples of proportions

5/3 = 40/24 . . . is a proportion

13/8 = 39/24 . . . is a proportion

Calculus help! Using the mean value theorem!

marta [7]

$f$ is differentiable across its domain, so the MVT says there is some value of $c$ in the open interval $(a,b)$ such that

$f'(c)=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

You have

$f(x)=Ax^2+Bx+C\implies f'(x)=2Ax+B$

so the equation above becomes

$2Ac+B=\dfrac{(Ab^2+Bb+C)-(Aa^2+Ba+C)}{b-a}$

Solve for $c$ .

$2Ac+B=\dfrac{A(b^2-a^2)+B(b-a)}{b-a}$
$2Ac+B=A(b+a)+B$
$2Ac=A(b+a)$
$c=\dfrac{b+a}2$

so $c$ is indeed the average of the endpoints, i.e. the midpoint.
