Answer:

reggie made an error

the correct scale factor is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to get from A to A', B to B', and ultimately C to C'

to get there, we must multiply each value in each point by the scale factor.

let's start out with reggie's scale factor. he multiplies each value in C by 3/2 to get to C'. we can try this out with one point, e.g. A

for A: 3/2 * (-12, -6) = (-18, -9). this is not A' = (-8, -4)! thus, 3/2 cannot be the scale factor

now, onto hillary's scale factor of 2/3

for A: 2/3 * (-12, -6) = (-8, -4). this is A'! thus, hillary is correct and reggie made an error

the correct scale factor is thus hillary's: 2/3

The sum of 2 numbers is 100. Twice the first number plus twice the second number is 200. What are the numbers?

dlinn [17]

Answer:

50+50=100

100+100=200

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 2 numbers is 100. 50 x 2 = 100

Twice the first number plus twice the second number is 200.

50+50=100 so therfore 100+100 makes 200

A playground is being designed where children can interact with their friends in certain combinations. If there is 1 child, ther

mariarad [96]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

The number of interaction for 1 child = 0

Number of interactions for 2 children = 1

Number of interactions for 3 children = 5

Number of interaction for 4 children = 14

So,

We need to find out the pattern for the recursive equation for the given conditions.

So,

We see that,

$a_{1}=0\\a_{2}=1\\a_{3}=5\\a_{4}=14\\$

Therefore, on checking, we observe that,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

On checking the equation at the given values of 'n' of, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

At,

n = 1

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=a_{1-1}+(1-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=0+0=0\\a_{1}=0$

which is true.

At,

n = 2

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{2-1}+(2-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{1}+1\\a_{2}=1$

Which is also true.

At,

n = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{3-1}+(3-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{2}+4\\a_{3}=5$

Which is true.

At,

n = 4

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{4-1}+(4-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{3}+9\\a_{4}=14$

This is also true at the given value of 'n'.

Therefore, the recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees

andre [41]

Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees.

Answer: Out of all the options shown above the one that represents the counterexample that proves that the conjecture presented above is false is answer choice 2. Angle b is 90 degrees. The reason being that in a right angle there is only one angle that measures 90 degrees.

I hope it helps, Regards.
