A:12=4:10

The extremes are a and 10
The middles are 12 and 4

We know that PRODUCT OF MIDDLE = PRODUCT OF EXTREMES
a*10=12*4
a     = 48/10
a     = 4.8

Therefore, the value of a = 4.8

A/12= 4/10

Cross multiply: 12*4= a*10
⇒ a= 12*4/10= 4.8

Final answer: a= 4.8

Question
True, false, or open. Explain. 45/x-14=22
Solution 1
45/x - 14 = 22 
add 14 to both sides

45/x -14 +14 = 22 +14
45/x = 36
36 x = 45
x = 45/36 = 5/4 = 1.25

Question
Simplify the following expression.
Solution 1
The first step for solving this expression is to express with a positive exponent using  a^{-n} X  \frac{1}{ a^{2}}  X b.
4 ×  \frac{1}{ a^{2} }  × b
Now calculate the product.
 \frac{4X1b}{ a^{2}  }
Before you get your final answer,, you must remember that any expression multiplied by 1 stays this same. This makes our final answer the following:
 \frac{4b}{ a^{2}}

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The grid shows a section of the beach in Coast City where each square has sides that are 100 yards long.

On a coordinate plane, the beach front is about 800 yards long. From the south pier to the north pier along harbor drive and park street, the distance is 1200 yards long.

Lisa walked from the South Pier to the North Pier along the beachfront. Deanna walked from the South Pier to the North Pier along Harbor Drive and Park Street. Which statement best describes the distances the two women walked?

a. Lisa walked about 400 yards farther than Deanna.

b. Lisa walked the same distance as Deanna.

c. Lisa walked about 400 yards less than Deanna.

d. Lisa walked about 400 yards.

Question
Circle J has center J (4,-3) and radius 5 What is the measure, in degrees, of the arc with endpoints A (9,-3) and B (4,2)? Explain the process you used (in words) and include the work you did to find this answer.
Solution 1
This would be a 90° arc.

To find this, we can find the measure of the central angle that intercepts the arc.

The endpoints of the arc are at (9, -3) and (4, 2).
The slope of the line that passes through the endpoint (9, -3) and the center (4, -3) is given by 
m=(-3--3)/(9-4) = 0/5 = 0.

Since the slope is 0, this tells us it is a horizontal line.

The line that passes through the endpoint (4, 2) and the center (4, -3) has a slope that is undefined; it is a vertical line at x=4.  Numerically the slope is given by 
m=(2--3)/(4-4) = 5/0, which is undefined.

These slopes are negative reciprocals of one another; 5/0 and 0/5 (0 has no sign).  This means that these two lines would form a right angle, so the central angle of the circle is a right angle.  

The intercepted arc has a measure equal to that of the central angle, so the arc is also 90°.
Question
Is y=-13/6x+5/3 same as 13x+6y=10 ?
Solution 1
Yes:
13x + 6y = 10
-13x        -13x
_______________
         6y = -13x + 10
        
Divide 6y, 13x, and 10 by 6

y = -13/6x + 10/6

Simply 10/6 by finding the least common multiple of the numerator and denominator, which is 2. 10 divided by 2 is 5, and 6 divided by 2 is 3. 10/6 = 5/3

Solution:
y = -13/6x + 5/3
Question
Help How much will $5,000 invested at 6% compounded annually amount to after 10 years?
Solution 1
To find one year, here's the equation:
5000 + 0.06(5000)
For 10 years:
5000 + 10(0.06(5000))
Multiply:
5000 + 0.6(5000)
We can make it smaller:
1.6(5000) = 8000
You can make $8000

Im not saying its right but I got 0,3,3,and2π  f(x)=2cos2xcosx−1=0
Solve this quadratic equation for cos x.
Since a + b + c = 0, use shortcut.
One real root is cos x = 1 and the other is cosx=ca=−12.
Trig table and unit circle -->
a. cos x = 1 --> arc x = 0, and arc x=2π
b. cosx=−12 --> arc x=±3
The arc −2π3 is co-terminal to the arc: 3
