Using proportions, the expected number of adults in Palm City whose main source of news is the internet or newspaper is of 19,413.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

From the table, the proportion of adults in Palm City whose main source of news is the internet or newspaper is found as follows:

p = (62 + 88)/(62 + 88 + 128 +24 + 38) = 0.4412.

Hence, out of 44,000 adults, the expected number is found as follows:

0.4412 x 44000 = 19,413.

Suppose f(x) = x^2 and

SpyIntel [72]

Given:

The two functions are:

$f(x)=x^2$

$g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2$

To find:

The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).

Solution:

The horizontal stretch is defined as:

$g(x)=f(kx)$ ...(i)

If $0$ , the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor $\dfrac{1}{k}$ .

If $k>1$ , the function f(x) is horizontally compressed by factor $\dfrac{1}{k}$ .

We have,

$f(x)=x^2$

$g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2$

Using these functions, we get

$g(x)=f\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)$ ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

$k=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Since $0$ , the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor $\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=3$ .

Hence, the correct option is D.

A rectangle has a width of 5 yd and a length of 9 yd.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Option The area is increased by a factor of $16$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x------> the area of the dilated rectangle

y------> the area of the original rectangle

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=4$ ------> is an enlargement

substitute

$4^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

$16=\frac{x}{y}$

$x=16y$

therefore

The area is increased by a factor of $16$

Answer:

11,880 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that from a pool of 12 candidates, the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer will be filled. We are asked to find the number of ways in which the offices can be filled.

We will use permutations for solve our given problem.
