Carmen has a sign with dimensions 5 ft × 7.5 ft. She wants to reduce it to make a postcard. Postcard sizes are 3.5 in. × 5 in., 4 in. × 6 in., and 4.25 in. × 6 in. Which size postcard should she use? Explain.

The size of the post card she should use is 4 in. × 6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Dimensions of sign = 5 ft. × 7.5 ft

Hence, the ratio of the side sizes are;

5:7.5 which is the same as 2:3, therefore, to obtain the most accurate design of the sign on the post card, the size of the post card must be in direct proportion to the size of the sign which gives;

Side length ratio of post card = 2:3 = 4:6 = 4 in. × 6 in.

The size of the post card she should use is therefore = 4 in. × 6 in.

3/20

step-by-step explanation:

well, there are 20 outcomes, and 3 of them you want. so, 3/20

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
