Cats to dogs means that the first number is cats and the second number is dogs. Thus, you have the ratios 2 cats to 5 dogs and 5 cats to 2 dogs which are different.

If they are both ratios of cats to dogs, with the ratio 2 to 5 it would mean there are 2.5x more dogs then there are cats, but with the ratio 5 to 2 it would mean there are 2.5x more cats than there are dogs, in which they are both different.

Which function has a minimum and is transformed to the right and down from the parent function, f(x) = x2?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The last choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, a parabola has a minimum value if it is a positive parabola, one that opens upward.  The first and the third parabolas are negative so they open upside down.  That leaves us with choices 2 and 4.  We find the side to side and up or down movement by finishing the completion of the square that has already been started for us.  Do this by factoring what's inside the parenthesis into a perfect square binomial.  

The second one factored becomes:

g(x)=4(x-3)^2+1

which reflects a shift to the right 3 and up 1.  Not what we are asked to find.

The fourth one factored becomes:

g(x)=8(x-3)^2-5

which reflects a shift to the right 3 and down 5.  That's what we want!

Please Help i will give the brainliest!
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

<em>See below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example we are to consider the equation 2x - 5 = 4x + 12, and are asked to solve for x. Well let us take the first approach, a mathematical one;

2x - 5 = 4x + 12,\\- 5 = 2x + 12,\\- 17 = 2x,\\\\x = - 17 / 2 = - 8.5\\\\Conclusion, x = - 8.5 / x = - 8 and 1 / 2

Now consider the explanation, " talking over a phone to a friend. "

First you would subtract 2x on either side of the equation, canceling the 2x on one side, and subtracting 2x from 4x on the other, resulting in the simplified equation - 5 = 2x + 12. Subtracting 12 from either side we cancel the 12 on one side, and subtract - 12 and - 5 on the other. We now get - 17 = 2x. Dividing 2 on either side, x = - 8.5!
