Answer:

Yes, the ratio of friends who chose blue to the total asked is equivalent to the ratio of friends who chose green to the total asked.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

For Alex, we have:

Number of people who prefer blue = 4

The total asked = 6

Therefore, the ratio of friends who chose blue to the total asked can be calculated as follows:

Ratio of friends who chose blue to the total asked = Number of people who prefer blue / The total asked = 4 / 6 = 0.67

For Jordan, we have:

Number of people who prefer green = 8

The total asked = 12

Therefore, the ratio of friends who chose green to the total asked can be calculated as follows:

Ratio of friends who chose green to the total asked = Number of people who prefer green / The total asked = 8 / 12 = 0.67

Conclusion

From the calculations above, we have:

Ratio of friends who chose blue to the total asked = Ratio of friends who chose green to the total asked = 0.67

Since the ratio of friends who chose blue to the total asked is equal to the ratio of friends who chose green to the total asked is equal to 0.67, it therefore implies that the ratio of friends who chose blue to the total asked is equivalent to the ratio of friends who chose green to the total asked.

Answer:

i did the first

Step-by-step explanation:

1st way

Standard form: a(X-h)²+k = ( -2/3X² -16/3X -32/3) +32/3 -17/3 = -2/3(X +4)² +5

y = -2/3*X^2-16/3*X-17/3

X = -4 ±√( 15/2) = -6.7386, or -1.2614

Axis of symmetry: X= -4; Vertex (maximum)=(h,k)=( -4, 5); y-intercept is (0,-5.66666666667)

two real roots: X=-1.2613872124776866 and -6.738612787477313
