Sally = 1/3
Jerry = 5/6
David = 1/2
Mona = 1 - 7/8 = 1/8
So, the biggest fraction among them is 5/6.
Jerry has completed the most work time.
a. Answer: m = 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 4x + 1
f(m) = m² - 4m + 1 = -3
m² - 4m + 4 = 0
(m - 2)(m - 2) = 0
m = 2
***************************************************
b. Answer: k = 2 and k = 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 7x + 14
f(k) = k² - 7k + 14 = 4
k² - 7k + 10 = 0
(k - 2)(k - 5) = 0
k = 2 k = 5
It means the scatter plot is a line with negative slope. The relation is perfectly described by a linear equation.
The triangles are similar because two angles have the same measurements
We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?
We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2
20 : 30 = 5 : x
We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)
20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm
