If the value of a is between 0 and 1 in f(x) = ax?, how does the graph compare to f(x) = x? above f(x) = x^2
narrower than f(x) = x^2
wider than f(x) = x^2
below f(x) = x^2

As we can see from the graphs, when 0 < |a| < 1 (|a| means absolute value of a), the parabola appears wider. When |a| > 1, the parabola appears thinner. When a is positive, the parabola opens upwards; when a is negative, the parabola opens downward.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

by definition, an arc subtended by a central angle of some given measure has the same measure. so .
