What is Proportion?

In general, the term "proportion" refers to a part, share, or amount that is compared to a total.

According to the concept of proportion, two ratios are in proportion when they are equal.

A mathematical comparison of two numbers is called a proportion. According to proportion, two sets of provided numbers are said to be directly proportional to one another if they increase or decrease in the same ratio. "::" or "=" are symbols used to indicate proportions.

Given:

A person is standing 24 feet away from a street light that is 25 feet tall.

let the height of person be x when its height of shadow is 6 feet.

Using Proportion

x/ 6 = 25 / 30

30x =150

x= 150/ 30

x= 5 feet

Hence, the height of the person is 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: 10 but thanks green guy

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle has 2 congruent sides and is therefore isosceles, then the 2 base angles are congruent, both 67°

The sum of the 3 angles is 180° , that is

4x + 6 + 67 + 67 = 180

4x + 140 = 180 ( subtract 140 from both sides )

4x = 40 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 10

Given the function h(x) = x2 – 7x + 6, determine the average rate of change of

the function over the interval 3 x < 7.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the average rate of change between two input values is the total change of the function values (output values) divided by the change in the input values.

so,

(h(7) - (h(3)) / (7 - 3)

h(7) = 7² - 7×7 + 6 = 49 - 49 + 6 = 6

h(3) = 3² - 7×3 + 6 = 9 - 21 + 6 = -6

7 - 3 = 4

(6 - -6)/4 = 12/4 = 3

the average change rate in that interval is 3 (or fully 3/1).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint, AB must be equal to BC.

AB = BC

7x - 4 = 3x + 32

Isolate the variable

7x - 4 = 3x + 32

4x = 36

x = 9

Now solve for one side.

AB = 7x - 4

AB = 7(9) - 4

AB = 59

Since both sides are equal, finding AC just means multiplying one side by 2.

AC = AB * 2

AC = (59) * 2

AC = 118

You can double check by finding the other side and multiplying by 2.

BC = 3x + 32

BC = 3(9) + 32

BC = 27 + 32

BC = 59

AC = BC*2

AC = 59*2

AC = 118

[tex]\frac{3x-7y}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{6}{3x-7y}[/tex] ← cancel 3x - 7y on numerator and denominator

= [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] → C

(7)

[tex]\frac{6x}{x^2-9}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{8}{4x-12}[/tex]

Factorise the denominators of both fractions

x² - 9 = x² - 3² = (x - 3)(x + 3) ← difference of squares

4x - 12 ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(x - 3)

Then rewrite as

[tex]\frac{6x}{(x-3)(x+3)}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{8}{4(x-3)}[/tex] ← cancel 8 and 4 by 4

= [tex]\frac{6x}{(x-3)(x+3)}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{2}{x-3}[/tex]

• leave first fraction, change ÷ to × , turn second fraction ' upside down'

= [tex]\frac{6x}{(x-3)(x+3)}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{x-3}{2}[/tex] ← cancel x - 3 on numerator and denominator

= [tex]\frac{6x}{x+3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ← cancel 2 and 6 on numerator and denominator

Answer:

x = 1 , y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you're looking for what x and y are? If so, then we know that

DC and AB equal each other, so

4x + y = 8

CB and AD equal each other, so

2x + y = 6

We have two equations that cannot be solved on their own, so we must solve them as a system of equations. One process to solve is elimination.

4x + y = 8

2x + y = 6

we can multiply the second equation all by -1 to make the y's cancel out and give us x. so,

4x + y = 8

-1(2x + y) = 6

4x + y = 8

-2x -y = -6

now solve them vertically. we get:

2x = 2

and so x = 1.

Now that we found x, we must find y. Using any of the two equations froom above, we can substitue our x value of 1 into it to find y. I will use the first one.

4x + y = 8

4(1) + y = 8

4 + y = 8

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

so our x is 1 and y is 4.

hope this helps! (:

sam buys a rare stamp for his stamp collection at an auction. he buys the stamp for 920£ the stamp increased in value by 7% in each of the first 2 years decreased in value by 4% in the third year

Answers

The value of the stamp at the end of the third year is £976.31.

How to calculate the value?

From the information, Sam buys a rare stamp for his stamp collection at an auction. he buys the stamp for 920£ the stamp increased in value by 7% in each of the first 2 years.

First year value:

= 920 + (2% × 920)

= 938.4

Second year value:

= 938.4 + (2% × 938.4)

= 957.168

Third year value:

= 957.168 + (2% × 957.168)

= £976.31
