How to know if a number is proportional

1 answer:

7 0

Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional. To see this process in action, check out this tutorial!

A local grocery story has strawberries on sale for $1.45 per pound. How much would it cost to buy 5.5 pounds of strawberries? Ro

myrzilka [38]

Answer: The cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A local grocery story has strawberries on sale for $1.45 per pound.

i.e. Cost for 1 pound strawberries = $1.45

Now, Cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries = 5.5 x (Cost for 1 pound strawberries)

= $ (5.5 x 1.45)

= $ 7.975 ≈ $ 7.98 [ Round to the nearest penny]

Hence, the cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98

Simplify (4x^2+2)÷(2x^2-9x-5)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

4.1 Pull out like factors :

4x2 + 2 = 2 • (2x2 + 1)

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

4.2 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = 2x2 + 1

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of x for which F(x)=0

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers x which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number P/Q then P is a factor of the Trailing Constant and Q is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is 2 and the Trailing Constant is 1.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient : 1,2

of the Trailing Constant : 1

Let us test ....

P Q P/Q F(P/Q) Divisor -1 1 -1.00 3.00 -1 2 -0.50 1.50 1 1 1.00 3.00 1 2 0.50 1.50

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

4.3 Factoring 2x2 - 9x - 5

The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .

The middle term is, -9x its coefficient is -9 .

The last term, "the constant", is -5

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -5 = -10

Step-2 : Find two factors of -10 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .

-10 + 1 = -9 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and 1

2x2 - 10x + 1x - 5

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

2x • (x-5)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

1 • (x-5)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(2x+1) • (x-5)

Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

2 • (2x2 + 1) —————————————————— (x - 5) • (2x + 1)

Help with this pleaseeee

ELEN [110]

Answer:

(- 3, 37) and (- $\frac{5}{2}$ , $\frac{63}{2}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x² - y + 19 = 0 → (1)

y + 11x = 4 → (2) ← subtract 11x from both sides

y = 4 - 11x → (3)

Substitute y = 4 - 11x into (1)

2x² - (4 - 11x) + 19 = 0

2x² - 4 + 11x + 19 = 0

2x² + 11x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form

(2x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 5 ⇒ x = - $\frac{5}{2}$

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of y

x = - $\frac{5}{2}$ : y = 4 + $\frac{55}{2}$ = $\frac{63}{2}$ ⇒ (- $\frac{5}{2}$ , $\frac{63}{2}$ )

x = - 3 : y = 4 + 33 = 37 ⇒ (- 3, 37 )

What is the exact volume of the figure?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer: 890.12 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

$V=\pi *r^2*h$

V=628.3185307 cm^3

or simply

V=628.32 cm^3

Since, you know the radius of the hemisphere on top, you also know the radius since the height of the hemisphere is the same as it is wide.

Next, the formula for the volume of a sphere is

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi *r^3$

so the volume of a hemisphere is half of that or:

$V=\frac{2}{3} *\pi *r^3$

V= 261.7993878 cm^3

or simply

V=261.80 cm^3

Finally, you add both of the volumes together to get

V= 890.1179185 cm^3

or simply

V=890.12 cm^3
