Answer:

[0.25, 2]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

4t² ≤ 9t-2

subtract 9t-2 from both sides to make this a quadratic

4t²-9t+2 ≤ 0

To solve this, we can solve for 4t²-9t+2=0 and do some guess and check to find which values result in the function being less than 0.

4t²-9t+2=0

We can see that -8 and -1 add up to -9, the coefficient of t, and 4 (the coefficient of t²) and 2 multiply to 8, which is also equal to -8 * -1. Therefore, we can write this as

4t²-8t-t+2=0

4t(t-2)-1(t-2)=0

(4t-1)(t-2)=0

Our zeros are thus t=2 and t = 1/4. Using these zeros, we can set up three zones: t < 1/4, 1/4<t<2, and t>2. We can take one random value from each of these zones and see if it fits the criteria of

4t²-9t+2 ≤ 0

For t<1/4, we can plug in 0. 4(0)²-9(0) + 2 = 2 >0 , so this is not correct

For 1/4<t<2, we can plug 1 in. 4(1)²-9(1) +2 = -3 <0, so this is correct

For t > 2, we can plug 5 in. 4(5)²-9(5) + 2 = 57 > 0, so this is not correct.

Therefore, for 4t^2 ≤ 9t-2 , which can also be written as 4t²-9t+2 ≤ 0, when t is between 1/4 and 2, the inequality is correct. Furthermore, as the sides are equal when t= 1/4 and t=2, this can be written as [0.25, 2]

A similarity ratio is the ratio of the lengths

Similarity ratio is a ratio of two figures having the same side.

Ratio can be rate but rate can never be ratio. In essence, rate is comparison between ratios.  While ratio is comparison between two or more numbers. Further, ratio on one hand, involves numbers either in amount, size, measurement, degrees, percentages or fractions with the absence of specific unit of measurement. On the contrary, rate is comparing quantities, amounts or unit of events happened expressed in a specific measurement or expressed under time. Take for instance, an example, Joe eats 2 while John eats 4 meals in a day. The ratio can be Joe: John, 2:4 meals. While the rate, is Joe eats 2 meals/day and John 4 meals/day.<span>
