There are
r red marbles and g green marbles in a bag. When one red marble is removed and one green marble added, the ratio of red to green marbles is now 2:3 .

Subsequently, 6 red marbles and 4 green marbles are added, such that the ratio of red to green marbles is now 3:4.

What is the ratio of r to g? Your ratio must be in its simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1

The ratio of red marbles to green marbles, [tex]r:g=5:7[/tex]

The first sentence about what happens to the bag of marbles;

"When one red marble is removed and one green marble added, the ratio of red to green marbles is now 2:3"

Leads to the fractional equation

[tex]\frac{r-1}{g+1}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

After rearranging, we get equation (1) [tex]3r-2g=5[/tex]

The next sentence about what happens to the bag of marbles;

"Subsequently, 6 red marbles and 4 green marbles are added, such that the ratio of red to green marbles is now 3:4"

Leads to the fractional equation

[tex]\frac{r-1+6}{g+1+4}=\frac{3}{4}\implies \frac{r+5}{g+5}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Since the first change to the bag was done without replacement. After rearranging, we get equation (2) [tex]4r-3g=-5[/tex]

So we need to solve the simultaneous equations for [tex]r[/tex] and [tex]g[/tex]

[tex]3r-2g=5\\4r-3g=-5[/tex]

Which gives [tex]r=25[/tex] and [tex]g=35[/tex]

Therefore, the ratio, [tex]r:g=25:35=5:7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You're required to basically scale the figure down. Angles will remain the same, horizontal lines will remain horizontal, but lengths will be 1/3 of the original. In particular the length DC will be only 1 square, bringing C' only one to the right of D. The distance DB will also shrink from 6 to two squares, below D. Finally, the point A' will be on the line AD, on the horizontal containing B'.

find slope of line with the points (-5,-4) and has a slope of -3/5

Answers

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is already in your question. You're asking for the slope of a line with an already stated slope

Answer:
(-7, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, have you heard of the formula y = mx + b?
M = slope
B = y-intercept (what point the line is crossing on the y axis (0, _) )

So what to do with this information? Let’s start by plotting (-5, -4)

Since we know the slope is -3/5, we will go down 3 points from (-5, -4) and to the right 5 points. Our new points will be (-7, 1)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Explicación: Solo puede factorizar, o simplificar, una ecuación o solo variables, si la variable que tiene un exponente tiene la misma base que otra variable, como x ^ 2 y x ^ 3, puede simplificarla ax ^ 5. Ahora, en este problema tenemos un 3, y 2 ^ 2, en el 2 ^ 2, 2 es la base y el otro número es 3, que definitivamente no es la misma base, por lo que no puede factorizarlo más, y deje la variable a lo largo.

If you subtract a negative number from that same number you are taking a negative amount from the negative number you started with which means you are making it more positive. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive one. Such as (-5) - (-6) = 1.

I think u mean to just multiply 300 * 47 would equal 14,100

                          300

                        x  47

                                                            7*0 = 0          7*3=21   so 2,100

            40*0 = 0                since 40 has a 4 you can take 4*3 and put a 0 on the end               4*3= 12 so 40*3= 120 so with so with the bonus 0's it would be 12,000                                    

                                              12,000

                                            +  2,100

                                              14,100 so  that means

Which relation is a function?

Answers

B. To see if it’s a function, it has to pass the vertical line test. That means draw a vertical line (going up and down) through any point on the graph and it can only go through one point. If it goes through more than 1, it’s not a function. Like in graph A, if you draw a vertical line at x=-2, it will go through two points, same at x=2. For graph b, no matter where you move a vertical line, it only passes through one point at a time, so it passes the vertical line test.

A modern sculpture in a park contains a parabolic arc that
starts at the ground and reaches a maximum height of 10 feet after a
horizontal distance of 4 feet. Write a quadratic function in vertex form
that describes the shape of the outside of the arc, where y is the height
of a point on the arc and x is its horizontal distance from the left-hand
starting point of the arc.

Answers

Using the vertex form, the equation of the parabola is given by:

[tex]y = a(x - 4)^2 + 10[/tex]

The equation of a parabola, with vertex (h,k), is given by:

[tex]y = a(x - h)^2 + k[/tex]

In which a is the leading coefficient.

In this problem, it reaches a maximum height of 10 feet after a  horizontal distance of 4 feet, hence, the vertex is (4,10), that is, [tex]h = 4, k = 10[/tex]. Then, the equation for the parabola is:

[tex]y = a(x - 4)^2 + 10[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x=\frac{0.48+\sqrt{0.0768}}{0.0096},\:x=\frac{0.48-\sqrt{0.0768}}{0.0096}

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-50)^2 is x^2+2500-100x*.0048 is .0048x. 2500*0.0048 is 12, and -100*0.0048=-.48.

So, we have .0048x^2+12-.48x+6, which is

.0048x^2+18-.48x=10. USing the quadratic formula, we get

x=\frac{0.48+\sqrt{0.0768}}{0.0096},\:x=\frac{0.48-\sqrt{0.0768}}{0.0096}
