11 * 5 = 55.

In this case 5 would be the smaller number and 11 would be the bigger number.
those two numbers are our ratio's, The sum of them combined is 55.

i hope this helped you.

So x and y
sum means add
difference means subtract
so we have
x+y=55 times (x-y)
use distributiver property which is
a(b-c)=ab-ac so
distribute 55(x-y)
55(x-y)=55x-55y

so we have
x+y=55x-55y
add 55y to boh sides
x+56y=55x
subtract x from both sides
56y=54x
divide both sides by 2
28y=27x
to find the ratio, switch the numbers around
ratio of y:x=27:28
therefor x is the greater number
ratio of larger to smaler is
28:27

How many 2-digit numbers can be formed using only the digits 2, 3, 5 and 6, if the numbers are not repeated within a number?
larisa [96]

(1) Repetition allowed : There are 4 choices for both positions, so 4 × 4 = 16 2-digit numbers can be formed. (2) Repetition not allowed : There are 4 options for tens position, and three options for ones position. Therefore, 4 × 3 = 12 2-digit numbers can be formed.

Find an equation for the plane y=4x in cylindrical coordinates. (Type theta for θ in your answer.)
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

<h2><em>sinθ - 4cosθ = 0</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a plane in rectangular coordinates to be y = 4x.

The cylindrical coordinates of the axis is as given below;

x = rcosθ

y = rsinθ

z = z

Since there is no z coordinate in the equation of the plane given, we will only substitute x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ into the equation y = 4x and simply the result as shown;

y = 4x

rsinθ = 4( rcosθ)

rsinθ = 4rcosθ

sinθ = 4cosθ

sinθ - 4cosθ = 0

<em>Hence the equation for the plane in cylindrical coordinate is expressed as sinθ - 4cosθ = 0</em>
