We know that
• There are needed 2/3 cups of lemon soda for every 2 cups of punch.
To find the answer, we have to divide.
[tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{2}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is 1/3 of soda/cup of punch.Complete the square for each expression. Write the resulting expression as a binomial. x^2+14x+____
To complete the square is take the second term in the expression, divided it by 2 and then squared it. This will be the number that we have to add to the original expression.
(14/2)^2=49
so, completing the expression:
x^2+14x+49
Then, the new expression can be factored into a single term squared:
x^2+14x+49= (x+7)^2
Which of the following polar coordinates would not be located at the point?
Explanation
We are asked to select the option that would not be located at the given point
To do so, let us find the original coordinates of the given polar point
The point is located 6 units away from the origin in a direction of 270 degrees
The equivalent coordinates are
[tex]\begin{gathered} (6,\frac{3\pi}{2}) \\ (6,\frac{-\pi}{2}) \\ (-6,90^0) \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, we are to eliminate any option that is not equivalent to the above, we are left with
[tex](6,\frac{-3\pi}{2})[/tex]Thus, the answer is option A
Find the slope and y-intercept for each equation:2. 2x + 9y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to transform the equation into the slope-intercept form
y = ax + b
a is then the slope, abd b is the y-intercept (the y-value when x = 0).
2x + 9y = 18
9y = -2x + 18
y = -2/9 x + 2
so,
-2/9 is the slope
2 is the y-intercept
Rain equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point
From the properties of line
If two lines are parallel, then thier slope are equal.
The general equation of line with slope m is; y = mx + b
The given equation of line us y = -5x + 3, slope of the given line is (-5)
The line is passes through the point (-6,3) and slope (-5)
The general equation of line is;
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]Substitute the coordinates as;
[tex]x_1=-6,y_1=3[/tex]Thus;
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y-3=-5(x+6) \\ y-3=-5x-30 \\ y+5x-3+30=0 \\ 5x+y+27=0 \\ y=-5x-27 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer : y = -5x - 27

The Hernandez family and the Cox family each used their sprinklers last summer. The Hernandez family’s sprinkler was used for 15 hours. The fox familys sprinkler was used for 30 hours. There was a combined total output of 1275 L of water. What was the water output rate for each sprinkler if the sum of the two rates was 50 L per hour?
ANSWER
The output rate for the Hernandez family was 15 L/hr and for the Fox family was 35 L/hr.
EXPLANATION
To solve this problem, we have to create a system of two simultaneous equations.
Let the output rate of the Hernandez family sprinkler be h.
Let the output rate of the Fox family sprinkler be f.
The product of the rate and the time used is equal to the output:
[tex]\text{Rate}\cdot\text{time}=\text{output}[/tex]We have that the combined total output for both sprinklers is 1275 L, which means that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (15\cdot h)+(30\cdot f)=1275 \\ \Rightarrow15h+30f=1275 \end{gathered}[/tex]The sum of the two rates is 50 L/hr, which means that:
[tex]h+f=50[/tex]Now, we have a system of two simultaneous equations:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15h+30f=1275 \\ h+f=50 \end{gathered}[/tex]Solve the equations by substitution.
Make h the subject of the formula in the second equation:
[tex]h=50-f[/tex]Substitute that into the first equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15(50-f)+30f=1275 \\ 750-15f+30f=1275 \\ 750+15f=1275 \\ \Rightarrow15f=1275-750=525 \\ f=\frac{525}{15} \\ f=35\text{ L/hr} \end{gathered}[/tex]Recall that:
[tex]h=50-f[/tex]Therefore, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} h=50-35 \\ h=15\text{ L/hr} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the output rate for the Hernandez family was 15 L/hr and for the Fox family was 35 L/hr.
the sign shown below is posted in front of a roller coaster ride at the Wadsworth country fairgrounds.if h represents the height of a rider in inches,what is the correct translation of the statement on this sign?h<48h>58h≤48h≥48
Answer:

If all riders must be at least 48 inches tall, it can mean the following.
0. The height of the riders can be ,exactly 48 inches, tall (h=48)
,1. The height of the riders can be, greater than 48 inches,, (h>48).
Combining the two, we have:

Notice that the triangle △GEF is an isosceles triangle, since GE=EF (both sides are radii of the circle).
Since △GEF is an isosceles triangle with GE=EF, then the measure of the angles opposed to those sides is the same:
[tex]m\angle GFE=m\angle EGF[/tex]Since the line FH is tangent to the circle, the angle ∠HFE is a right angle.
Since ∠HFG and ∠GFE are adjacent angles, then:
[tex]m\angle\text{HFG}+m\angle\text{GFE}=m\angle\text{HFE}[/tex]Substitute m∠HFG=62 and m∠HFE=90 to find m∠GFE:

The answer is yes, the equation represents a proportional relationship.
The reason is that a proportional relationship is best described as that in which the value of one variable depends on what happens to the other variable. Just like having one more child every year would mean spending more money on education, etc.
In a proportiona; relationship as shown in this question, y is the total cost of a pizza and each x (each topping) would determine how much is y. So requesting for 5 more toppings would result in 1.5 multiplied by 5, and requesting 10 more would result in 1.5 multiplied by 10. So as the amount of toppings (x variable) increases, the total cost (y variable) likewise would increase.
As x increases or decreases, the value of y would likewise increase or decrease. That makes this equation a proportional relationship

Respuesta:
Rectángulo.
Explicación paso a paso:
Cuando un triangulo isósceles (ángulos de la base de igual magnitud) miden 45°, significa que el ángulo que no conocemos será de 90 grados por el teorema de los ángulos internos de un triángulo.
180-(45+45)=90.
Por lo tanto, se forma un triangulo rectángulo, significa que tiene un ángulo recto de 90°.
suppose g(x) = f(x - 3) - 4. I need the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x)
In order to graph g(x) with the graph of f(x), first we need a translation of 3 units to the right, because of the term f(x - 3)
Then, we need a translation of 4 units down, because of the term -4.

The word "Appreciated" means "Increase" in value of something.
Here, The value of property is Appreciated by 3%
Therefore,
New price = Old price + 3% of Old price
New price = $300000 + 3% of $300000
New price = $300000 + $( 3/100 × 300000)
New price = $300000 + $9000
New price = $309000

Write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)
The equation of line in point-slope form is Y + 3 = 1(X - 7).
What is point-slope form?
The equation of a straight line that passes through a particular point and is inclined at a specific angle to the x-axis can be found using the point slope form.
(Y-Y1)=m(X-X1) is the point-slope form of the equation.
Here the given equation of line is y = x + 2 and the point is (X1, Y1) = (7, -3).
Compare this equation with y = mx + c, which is point slope form of the line.
Where, m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.
So, m = 1 and c = 2.
Now plug m = 1 and (x1, y1) = (7, -3) in the equation (Y-Y1)=m(X-X1),
(Y - (-3)) = 1(X - 7)
Y + 3 = 1(X - 7)
Therefore, the equation for the line y = x + 2 in point - slope form is Y + 3 = 1(X - 7).

2 people => 1 handshake (AB)
3 people => 3 handshakes (AB, BC, AC)

Do you see a pattern here?
We can write a general formula for this

[tex]15=\frac{n\cdot(n-1)}{2}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 2\cdot15=n\cdot(n-1) \\ 30=n\cdot(n-1) \\ 30=6\cdot(6-1) \\ 30=6\cdot(5) \\ 30=30 \end{gathered}[/tex]This means that n = 6 people were present at the party.
You can substitute n = 6 into the above formula and you will notice that it will give 15 handshakes
