Explain the difference between a rate, a ratio, and a proportion?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kaheart [24]3 years ago

Answer:

A proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Example : \frac{1}{3} = \frac{x}{9}

​

We write proportions to help us find equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.

A rate is the quotient of a ratio where the quantities have different units.

Example : \frac{distance}{time}

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities.

Example : 1 : 3 or \frac{1}{3}

1. linear function

Since it goes on in a constant rate

2.y=x^{3}

Since as x goes up by one y is x to the power of 3.

Complementary and Supplementary Angles
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Complementary (adds up to 90°)

2. Neither

3. Supplementary (ads up to 180°)

4. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

22 + 4x = 90

Subtract 22 from both sides

4x = 68

Divide both sides by 4

x = 17

5. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

65 + x + 2 = 90

x + 67 = 90

Subtract both sides 67

x = 23

6. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

43 + x - 7 = 90

x + 36 = 90

Subtract both sides by 36

x = 54

7. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

29 + x - 5 = 180

x + 24 = 180

Subtract both sides by 24

x = 156

8. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

110 + 7x = 180

Subtract both sides by 110

7x = 70

Divide both sides by 7

x = 10

9. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

72 + x + 4 = 180

x + 76 = 180

Subtract both sides by 76

x = 104

10. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

49 + x + 3 = 90

x + 52 = 90

Subtract both sides by 52

x = 38

11. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

92 + x + 78 = 180

x + 170 = 180

Subtract both sides by 170

x = 10

12. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

19 + x - 50 = 180

x - 31 = 180

Add 31 to both sides

x = 211

13. Supplementary angles add up to 180°

∠C + ∠D = 180

∠C + 45 = 180

Subtract both sides by 45

∠C = 135°

Hope I helped!

You expect to receive $5,000 at graduation one year from now. Your plan is to invest this money at 6.5 percent, compounded annua
frez [133]

Answer:

Approx 37 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is :

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Here, A = $50000

P = $5000

r = 6.5% or 0.065

n = 1

t = ?

Putting these values in formula we get;

50000=5000(1+\frac{0.065}{1})^{1t}

=> 50000=5000(1.065)^{t}

=> 10=(1.065)^{t}

Taking log on both sides;

ln(10)=ln(1.065)^t

=> t=\frac{ln(10)}{ln(1.065)}

We get t = 36.56 rounding to 37 years.
