Why are there multiple proportionality relationships formed by a line parallel to one side of a triangle that intersects the other two sides?

It is given that the quadratic equation hx²-3x+k=0, where h and k are constants, has roots [tex] \beta \: and \: 2 \beta [/tex]express h in terms of k

Triangle xyz, with vertices x(-2, 0), y(-2, -1), and z(-5, -2), undergoes a transformation to form triangle x? y? z? , with vertices x? (4, -2), y? (4, -3), and z? (1, -4). the type of transformation that triangle xyz undergoes is a . triangle x? y? z? then undergoes a transformation to form triangle x? y? z? , with vertices x? (4, 2), y? (4, 3), and z? (1, 4). the type of transformation that triangle x? y? z? undergoes is a .

Afriend of mine is giving a dinner party. his current wine supply includes 10 bottles of zinfandel, 8 of merlot, and 11 of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. (a) if he wants to serve 3 bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this? ways (b) if 6 bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the 29 for serving, how many ways are there to do this? ways (c) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, how many ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety? ways (d) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen? (round your answer to three decimal places.) (e) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that all of them are the same variety? (round your answer to three decimal places.)
