Finding the proportionality constant :

y = k/x
16 = k/(1/2)
k = 8

Finding y when x = 17 :

y = 8/(17)
y = 8/17

The value of y is 8/17 when x = 17.

3. What is the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, figure B was enlarged to obtain figure A.

The two figures are therefore similar.

The corresponding sides are in the same proportion. That constant value of the proportion is called scale factor.

It is given by:

$k = \frac{image \: length}{corresponding\:object \: length}$

Figure B is the image of A

$k = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{25}{10} = \frac{21.5}{8.6} = 2.5$

Therefore the scale factor is 2.5

A rectangle has an area of (x2 - 17x + 72) square units. Since the area of a rectangle is determined using the formula, A =

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 17x + 72 = 0

Sum = -17

Product = 72

Factor = 8 , 9

x² - 17x + 72 = 0

x² - 8x -9x + (-8)*(-9) = 0

x(x - 8) -9(x -8) = 0

(x - 8 ) (x - 9) = 0

Length = (x - 8) units

Width = (x - 9) units
