Answer: (2) /3

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 Way: Solve by a proportion

Let x be the unknown number

Given

8/12=x/3

Cross-multiply

12x=24

x=2

Ans: (2)/3

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

#2 Way: Look at the product between numbers

Given

8/12=?/3

From this, we can see the difference (quotient) between the known value 3 and 12 is 4, meaning 12÷3=4.

Applying the same factor, 8÷4=2

Ans: (2)/3

Hope this helps!! :)

blondinia [14]

Answer:

y³ - 3y² + 1/y+3

Step-by-step explanation:

y² - 9 = (y - 3) ( y + 3)

y-3/(y-3)(y+3) = 1/y+3

Match the parabolas represented by the equations with their vertices. y = x2 + 6x + 8 y = 2x2 + 16x + 28 y = -x2 + 5x + 14 y = -

GaryK [48]

Consider all parabolas:

$y = x^2 + 6x + 8,\\y=x^2+6x+9-9+8,\\y=(x^2+6x+9)-1,\\y=(x+3)^2-1.$

When x=-3, y=-1, then the point (-3,-1) is vertex of this first parabola.

$y = 2x^2 + 16x + 28=2(x^2+8x+14),\\y=2(x^2+8x+16-16+14),\\y=2((x^2+8x+16)-16+14),\\y=2((x+4)^2-2)=2(x+4)^2-4.$

When x=-4, y=-4, then the point (-4,-4) is vertex of this second parabola.

$y =-x^2 + 5x + 14=-(x^2-5x-14),\\y=-(x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4}-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4})-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2-\dfrac{81}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2+\dfrac{81}{4}.$

When x=2.5, y=20.25, then the point (2.5,20.25) is vertex of this third parabola.

$y =-x^2 + 7x + 7=-(x^2-7x-7),\\y=-(x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4}-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4})-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2-\dfrac{77}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2+\dfrac{77}{4}.$

When x=3.5, y=19.25, then the point (3.5,19.25) is vertex of this fourth parabola.

$y =2x^2 + 7x +5=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16}-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16})-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{16})=2(x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{8}.$

When x=-1.75, y=-1.125, then the point (-1.75,-1.125) is vertex of this fifth parabola.

$y =-2x^2 + 8x +5=-2(x^2-4x-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2(x^2-4x+4-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x^2-4x+4)-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x-2)^2-\dfrac{13}{2})=-2(x-2)^2+13.$

When x=2, y=13, then the point (2,13) is vertex of this sixth parabola.
