Select all ratios equivalent to 15:5. 9:3 6:2 3:1

Answer:

All three.

Step-by-step explanation:

All three of these ratios are equivalent to 15:5. Here's how:

Let's look at the first ratio, 9:3. Did you notice something common? 3 x 3 = 9. 9/3 = 3. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. Both of these numbers are divisible by 3,  so these ratios are equivalent.

Second. 6:2. 2 x 3 = 6. 6/3 = 2. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. See the similarity? The same applies to the next problem, number three, although it does slightly differentiate.

Third, 3:1. See, here, since the ratio is smaller than the problem, we can't multiply, since this ratio is smaller than the original number. But, it's still the same thing. A ratio is a number that compares a value to another value. This means that 3:1 is 3 compared to one. Now, let me clarify. 15:5. 3:1. These are the exact same values, except they are just written in a different form, and simplified. Since 5 x 3 = 15, we know that we can divide 15 evenly by 5, which makes it 3, and divide 5 evenly by 5, which equals one. So here we have our answer for the third problem. 5:1.

Ratios are basically division, except simplified. Every single ratio problem works this way. Once you get the hang of it, it's immensely easy. Hope this helped!

According tp the fundamental theorem of algebra, how many zeros does the polynomial below have? f(x)=x^3-10x^2+27x-12
prisoha [69]
The answer is 3.

The fundamental theorem of algebra says that a number of zeros of a polynomial are equal to the highest exponent on a variable. 

The polynomial is <span>f(x)=x</span>³<span>-10x</span>²<span>+27x-12
The highest exponent of a variable x is 3: x</span>³
Therefore, the number of zeroes of the polynomial is 3.
