Answer:

The third term of a proportional is: 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if a, b, c and d are in proportion, then:

a × d = b × c

In our case, we are given the first, second, and fourth terms are 24, 36, 126.

a = 24

b = 36

d = 126

and we have to determine the third term 'c'.

as we know that if a, b, c, and d are in proportion, then:

a × d = b × c

Thus,

substituting a = 24, b = 36, d = 126 to determine

24 × 126 = 36 × c

c = (24 × 126)/36

c = 3024/36

c = 84

Thus, the third term of a proportional is: 84

The lines are perpendicular. Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of line y₂

Alex17521 [72]

When you want to find the slope of the perpendicular line, all you have to do is flip the known slope upside down and make it negative. You know that $y_{1} 's$ slope is 3 and you know $y_{2}$ is perpendicular. So, just flip 3 upside down into $\frac{1}{3}$ and then make it negative, - $\frac{1}{3}$ . If you look at the coordinate grid, you can see that $y_{2}$ crosses the y-axis at 4. When you put those into slope-intercept form you get $y_{2}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + 4.

If f(x) = x2 − 1, and f(2a) = 35, then what could be the value of a ?

Naily [24]

f(x)=x2−1That means to find the value of the function at any value of x, we square x and subtract 1. If x=2a, we square 2a and subtract 1:f(2a)=(2a)2−1=4a2−1Now, we know that f(2a)=35so we can find the value of a:f(2a)=(2a)2−1=4a2−1=354a2−1+1=35+14a2=36a2=9a=±3

PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT I WILL GIVE YOU BRAIN THING IF ITS CORRECT (you can use a calculator if you want)

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

1. B.

2. A, E.

3. D.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8.225 ÷ 5 = 1.645

2. 892 ÷ 8 = 111.5

8920 ÷ 80 = 111.5

894 ÷ 10 = 89.4

89.2 ÷ 0.08 = 1115

8.92 ÷ 0.8 = 11.15

0.892 ÷ 0.008 = 111.5

3. 4367 ÷ 0.004 = 1,091,750

What inequality has the solutions graphed on the number line?

Verizon [17]

Answer:

x<=3

Step-by-step explanation:

so graphing inequalities on a number line can be tricky but in this case the answer would be x is greater than or equal to three and the reason why is because well first we have the 3 and the circle on the three is filled in meaning the answer of x could possibly be three but the line is also continuing to move to the right therefore meaning the answer could be three but it could also be greater than three therefore your answer is x<=3

1. There are always twice as many girls as boys in school. Mathematical expression

Airida [17]

Answer:

Boys x 2 = Girls

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are twice as many girls in school as boys than take the number of boys and multiply that by 2. For example if there are 400 boys in school and there are twice as many girs your equation would, 400 x 2 = 800 girls.
