Answer:

Michael 24

Noor 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 4:7

The initial quatity is 4x and 7x

After giving 3 shares the quatities are

4x - 3 and 7x + 3

Set equal to the new ratio

(4x - 3) / (7x + 3) = 7 / 15

Cross multiply

15(4x - 3) = 7(7x + 3)

Distribute

60x - 45 = 49x + 21

Add 45 to both sides

60x = 49x + 66

Subtract 49x from both sides

11x = 66

Divide both sides by 11

x = 6

Therefor

4x = 4*6 = 24 <–––– Michael's initial quantity

7x = 7*6 = 42 <–––– Noor's initial quantity

You know how there are 4 different areas in the graph, rotating it 180 degrees from that position will make it be in quadrant 2 (top left). in order to graph the ponts, since it is right across, then you just have to flip the shape around. like how you take a selfe, it flips the capture image around

. The Empire State Building is a 102-story skyscraper. Its height is 1,250 ft. from the ground to the roof. The length and width
Aleks [24]

Answer: a) Dimensions of miniature is 0.17 × 0.08 × 0.5, b) 0.006 ft³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of building = 1250 feet

Length of building = 424 ft

Width of building = 187 ft

Now, we know that The miniature version is just 1/ 2500 of the size of the original.

So, Height of miniature would be

\dfrac{1250}{2500}=0.5\ ft

Length of miniature would be

\dfrac{424}{2500}=0.17\ ft

Width of miniature would be

\dfrac{187}{2500}=0.08\ ft

a) What are the dimensions of the miniature Empire State Building?

Dimensions of miniature is 0.17 × 0.08 × 0.5

b. Determine the volume of the miniature building. Explain how you determined the volume.

Volume=0.5\times 0.08\times 0.17=0.006\ ft^3

Hence, a) Dimensions of miniature is 0.17 × 0.08 × 0.5, b) 0.006 ft³.

Which of the following graphs is a polynomial function with x-intercepts of (-3,0)(-1,0), and (2,0)?​
Helen [10]
The intercepts of the third degree polynomial corresponds to the zeros of the equation
y = d*(x-a)*(x-b)(x-c)
Where a, b and c are the roots of the polynomial and d an adjustment coefficient.
y = d*(x+2)*(x)*(x-3)
Lets assume d = 1, and we get
y = (x+2)*(x)*(x-3) = x^3 - x^2 - 6x
We graph the equation in the attached file.
