Answer:

FIRST NUMBER IS 20

AND

SECOND NUMBER IS 45

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE RATIO BE X

FIRST NUMBER = 4X

SECOND NUMBER = 9X

A/Q,

=}4X - 5 / 9X - 5 = 3 / 8

CRISS CROSS,

=}8 ( 4X - 5 ) = 9X - 5 ( 3 )

=}32X - 40 = 27X - 15

=}32X - 27X = - 15 + 40

=}5X = 25

=}X = 25 / 5

=}X = 5

THEREFORE,

FIRST NUMBER

=} 4X

=} 5 × 4

=} 20

SECOND NUMBER

=} 9X

=} 5 × 9

=} 45

Convert the polar equation to rectangular coordinates. (Use variables x and y as needed.)
Alinara [238K]
The standard conversion toolbox:
x=rcos(θ)
y=rsin(θ)

Here r=7csc(θ)
so 
x=7csc(θ)*cos(θ)=7cos(θ)/sin(θ)=7cot(<span>θ)
y=7csc(</span>θ)*sin(θ)=7sin(θ)/sin(<span>θ) = 7
therefore the rectangular coordinates are (7cot(</span><span>θ), 7)</span>

3x-3=2x<br><br> Please help me...?<br> 10 points given
svetoff [14.1K]
3x - 3 = 2x

Add 3 on both sides

3x - 3 + 3 = 2x + 3
3x = 2x + 3

Subtract 2x on both sides

3x - 2x = 2x + 3 - 2x
3x - 2x = 3
x = 3

So, your final answer is x = 3.

Find the domain of each function f(x)=1/x
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Domain is all the possible x-values that can be plugged in and range is all the possible y-values that can be outputs. f(x)=1x can have any number as an input except for zero. If we plug in zero for x , then we would be dividing by zero which is impossible. Thus the domain is all real numbers except for zero.
