The proportion 1 L : 0.26 gal = x L : 12500 gal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A fountain holds 12,500 gallons of water.

1 L = 0.26 gal

Now, to get the proportion to solve for the number of litres.

On solving :

Therefore, the proportion 1 L : 0.26 gal = x L : 12500 gal.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
