Answer:

5:1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the ratio in fraction form, since ratios are easier to think about in this mathematical way:

$25:5=\frac{25}{5}$

Now we have a fraction which is easier to work with. We can look for a common factor of 25 and 5 and then factor it out to find the lowest terms of our ratio and the simplified version of the fraction. One common factor of 25 and 5 that I can think of is 5 itself. So, let's divide both sides by 5.

$\frac{25}{5}$ ÷ $5\\$ = $\frac{5}{1}$

Does that make sense? 25 divided by 5 is 5, and 5 divided by 5 is 1. So the simplified version of the fraction is $\frac{5}{1}$ , and the lowest terms of the ratio 25:5 cm is 5:1 cm.

Hopefully that makes sense! If you need more help or any of that was confusing or difficult to understand, let me know. :)

Answer:

5:1

Step-by-step explanation:

25/5=1/n

cross multiply

5×1=25×n

5=25n

divide both sides by the cofficient of n

therefore, 25/5 which is equal to 5:1

Answer:

⇒x=9 (positive solution)

Explanation:

x2−36=5x

→x2−36−5x=0

Factor the expression:

We get:

(x−9)(x+4)=0

First solution:

⇒(x−9)=0x+4

⇒(x−9)=0

⇒x=9

Which is a counterexample for the conditional statement shown?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: First Option

The points have the same x-coordinate value.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a relation is considered a function if and only if for each input value x there exists only one output value y.

So, the only way that the line that connects two points in the coordinate plane is not a function, is that these two points have the same coordinate for x.

For example, suppose you have the points (2, 5) and (2, 8) and draw a line that connects these two points.

The line will be parallel to the y axis.

Note that the value of x is the same x = 2. But when x = 2 then y = 5 and y = 8.

There are two output values (y = 8, y = 5) for the same input value x = 2.

In fact all the vertical lines parallel to the y-axis have infinite output values "y" for a single input value x. Therefore, they can not be defined as a function.

Then the correct option is:

The points have the same x-coordinate value.
