Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.

First, cross multiply.

6/a=18/27

Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

a*18=6*27

18a=162

Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.

18a/18=162/18

a=162/18

a=9

So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:

6/9=18/27

Question 10 multiple choice
vekshin1

Answer: Choice B

(x-1)(x^3+x^2+5x+6)

==========================================

Explanation:

The 1 in the upper left box means that x = 1 is a root of the original polynomial.

So this means x-1 is a factor of the original polynomial.

This is because x = 1 leads to x-1 = 0 after subtracting 1 from both sides.

-----------------

The 0 in the last position of the bottom row shows we got a remainder of 0.

Getting a remainder 0 tells us that (x-1) is a factor of the polynomial. This synthetic division table confirms our initial guess.

The other values in that bottom row (1, 1, 5, 6) form coefficients to the polynomial 1x^3+1x^2+5x+6, or simply x^3+x^2+5x+6

-------------------

So we know that (x-1) and (x^3+x^2+5x+6) are factors

Meaning that,

x^4+4x^2+x-6 = (x-1)(x^3+x^2+5x+6)

You can confirm this by expanding out the right hand side (distribution rule).

Remi has two cone-shaped containers with the same diameter. He will place the smaller container inside the larger one. Before he
Keith_Richards [23]
Given:
Big cone     : diameter = 12 cm ; height = 18 cm ; base = 14 cm
Small cone: diameter = 12 cm ; height = 6 cm ; base = 14 cm

Volume of a cone-shaped container = π r² h/3
Big cone:
V = 3.14 * (6cm)² * 18cm/3
V = 3.14 * 36cm² * 6cm
<span>V = 678.24 cm³

</span>Small cone:
V = 3.14 * (6cm)² * 6cm/3
V = 3.14 * 36cm² * 2cm
<span>V = 226.08 cm³

</span>Big cone - small cone = volume of water
678.24 cm³ - 226.08 cm³ = 452.16 cm³

Through (2.-1) perpendicular y=4x+3​
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

y = 1x -3

4 4

Step-by-step explanation:

m= 4 -> 1

4

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y+1 = m(x-2)

y+1 = 1(x-2)

4

y+1 = 1x -1

4 2

y = 1x - 3
