C. The measure of each angle that is marked in Polygon A are:

53° and 82°.

<h3>How to Find the Scale Factor of Similar Polygons?</h3>

Similar polygons have the same shape and size, hence, the length of their corresponding sides are proportional to each other, while their corresponding angle measures are congruent to each other.

Scale factor = dimension of new polygon / corresponding dimension of original polygon.

A. From the given image of the two polygons, we have the following:

Dimension of new polygon, A = 5

Corresponding dimension of original polygon, B = 2.5

Scale factor = 5/2.5

Scale factor = 2

B. The missing length of each side of polygon B are:

1.5 × scale factor = 1.5 × 2 = 3

2.5 × scale factor = 2.5 × 2 = 5

C. Both polygons are similar, therefore, they will have the same angle measures.

The measure of each angle that is marked in Polygon A are:

53° and 82°.

Determine all prime numbers a, b and c for which the expression a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 + c ^ 2 - 1 is a perfect square .

kogti [31]

Answer:

The family of all prime numbers such that $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} -1$ is a perfect square is represented by the following solution:

$a$ is an arbitrary prime number. (1)

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot a \cdot c}$ (2)

$c$ is another arbitrary prime number. (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

From Algebra we know that a second order polynomial is a perfect square if and only if $(x+y)^{2} = x^{2} + 2\cdot x\cdot y + y^{2}$ . From statement, we must fulfill the following identity:

$a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - 1 = x^{2} + 2\cdot x\cdot y + y^{2}$

By Associative and Commutative properties, we can reorganize the expression as follows:

$a^{2} + (b^{2}-1) + c^{2} = x^{2} + 2\cdot x \cdot y + y^{2}$ (1)

Then, we have the following system of equations:

$x = a$ (2)

$(b^{2}-1) = 2\cdot x\cdot y$ (3)

$y = c$ (4)

By (2) and (4) in (3), we have the following expression:

$(b^{2} - 1) = 2\cdot a \cdot c$

$b^{2} = 1 + 2\cdot a \cdot c$

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot a\cdot c}$

From Number Theory, we remember that a number is prime if and only if is divisible both by 1 and by itself. Then, $a, b, c > 1$ . If $a$ , $b$ and $c$ are prime numbers, then $2\cdot a\cdot c$ must be an even composite number, which means that $a$ and $c$ can be either both odd numbers or a even number and a odd number. In the family of prime numbers, the only even number is 2.

In addition, $b$ must be a natural number, which means that:

$1 + 2\cdot a\cdot c \ge 4$

$2\cdot a \cdot c \ge 3$

$a\cdot c \ge \frac{3}{2}$

But the lowest possible product made by two prime numbers is $2^{2} = 4$ . Hence, $a\cdot c \ge 4$ .

The family of all prime numbers such that $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} -1$ is a perfect square is represented by the following solution:

$a$ is an arbitrary prime number. (1)

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot a \cdot c}$ (2)

$c$ is another arbitrary prime number. (3)

Example: $a = 2$ , $c = 2$

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot (2)\cdot (2)}$

$b = 3$

Consider the function g defined by g(x) = x(10 – Ax), A > 0. voer g in Without doing any iterations, determine the non-zero f

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The only non-zero fixed point is: x = 9/A.

The Step-by-step explanation:

A fixed point of a function is a points that is mapped to itself by the function; g(x) = x. Therefore, in order to find the fixed point of the given function we need to solve the following equation:

g(x) = x

x(10 - Ax) = x

10x - Ax² = x

10x - x -Ax² = 0

9x - Ax² = 0

Ax² - 9x = 0

The solutions of this second order equation are:

x = 0 and x = 9/A.

Since we are only asked for the non-zero fixed points, the solution is: 9/A.
