Can dilations be used to form scale copies of a figure?

Mathematics

Inessa [10]2 years ago

Answer:

sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways that dilation is used in real life. Here are several:

In graphic design. I actually do some graphic design, and I use dilation a lot. It is common to dilate photos to fit the space that you want it to fit.

In police work and crime investigation. Detectives and police dilate photos to see smaller details and evidence.

In architecture. It is normal for architects to make a prototype of their design or building. In order to make the building true to the prototype, they must dilate the scale and measurements.

In the doctor's office. Dilation is used in eye exams so that the eye doctor can view the patient's eye better. After a while it will slowly reduce in size and return back to normal.

Answer: 1/24

---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

A = selects green pair of shorts
B = selects gray t-shirt

P(A) = probability of selecting green shorts
P(A) = (number of green shorts)/(number of shorts total)
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = probability of selecting gray t-shirt
P(B) = (number of gray t-shirts)/(number of t-shirts total)
P(B) = 1/4

P(A and B) = probability of selecting green shorts AND gray t-shirt
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) ... since A and B are independent events
P(A and B) = (1/6)*(1/4)
P(A and B) = (1*1)/(6*4)
P(A and B) = 1/24

Note: The fraction 1/24 is approximately equal to 0.041667

For which function is f(5) = 2?
Ratling [72]

By evaluating the <em>linear</em> function f(x) = x - 3 at x = 5 and discarding the another function in the table given, we conclude that f(5) = 2 belongs to that <em>linear</em> equation.

<h3>What function contains a given relationship?</h3>

In this problem we must check if the given relationship between the <em>independent</em> variable (x) and the <em>dependent</em> variable (y) exists in any of the two functions: (i) a table, (ii) an expression.

After a quick analysis, we conclude that f(5) = 2 is a point of the linear function f(x) = x - 3. Here is the proof:

f(5) = 5 - 3

f(5) = 2
