Answer:

ratio=\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

Find the volume of the two pyramids

we know that

The volume of the two pyramids is equal to

V=2[\frac{1}{3}Bh]

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the pyramid

step 2

Find the volume of the prism

Remember that

If the height of the pyramid is h, then the height of the prism is 2h

we know that

The volume of the prism is equal to

V=B(H)

we have

H=2h

V=B(2h)

V=2Bh

step 3

Find out the ratio of the combined volume of the pyramids to the volume of the prism

so

ratio=\frac{2[\frac{1}{3}Bh]}{2Bh}

simplify

ratio=\frac{1}{3}

For the function y=-3+ cos (x + 4)], what is the minimum value?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

-4 is the mimumum of y=-3+cos(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum value of y=cos(x) is -1.

The minimum value of y=cos(x+4) is still -1; the +4 inside the cosine function only affected the horizontal shift.

The minimum value of y=-3+cos(x+4) is -3-1 which is -4.  This brought the graph down 3 units so if the minimum was previously -1 and it got brought down 3 units then it's new minimum is -4.

Use common denominators to determine whether the ratios form a proportion.
AURORKA [14]
They are not in proportion, since its 6:9 round it down (2:3) so pretend the 6 are apples and the 9 are oranges

Every 2 apples there are 3 oranges

So having 9 apples what is that?

2 x ? = 9

2 x 4.5 = 9

So if you want to keep 2:3 you have you times the oranges by 4.5 aswell!

3 x 4.5 = 13.5

So since it is 9:12 not 9:13.5 they are not in proportion
