Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we're told that triangles AMY and MEG are similar. If triangle AMY has sides AM = 5, MY = 7, and AY = 3 then we can find the side lengths of triangle MEG since we're told from the question that it is a dilation of AMY by a scale factor of 1/3.

So all we need to is multiply the corresponding sides of AMY by 1/3, so we'll have;

$\begin{gathered} ME=5\ast\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{3} \\ EG=7\ast\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3} \\ MG=3\ast\frac{1}{3}=3 \end{gathered}$

We can then go ahead and find the perimeter of MEG. Note that to find the perimeter of a triangle, we add all the length of its sides;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter of MEG}=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{7}{3}+3 \\ =\frac{5+7+9}{3} \\ =\frac{21}{3} \\ =7 \end{gathered}$

The perimeter of MEG is 7.

Rewrite the form In exponential form: Log100 = x

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$10^x=100$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know how subtraction is the opposite of addition and division is the opposite of multiplication? A logarithm is the opposite of an exponent. You know how you can rewrite the equation 3 + 2 = 5 as 5 - 3 = 2, or the equation 3 × 2 = 6 as 6 ÷ 3 = 2? This is really useful when one of those numbers on the left is unknown. 3 + _ = 8 can be rewritten as 8 - 3 = _, 4 × _ = 12 can be rewritten as 12 ÷ 4 = _. We get all our knowns on one side and our unknown by itself on the other, and the rest is computation.

We know that $3^2=9$ ; as a logarithm, the exponent gets moved to its own side of the equation, and we write the equation like this: $\log_3{9}=2$ , which you read as "the logarithm base 3 of 9 is 2." You could also read it as "the power you need to raise 3 to to get 9 is 2."

One historical quirk: because we use the decimal system, it's assumed that an expression like $\log1000$ uses base 10, and you'd interpret it as "What power do I raise 10 to to get 1000?"

The expression $\log100=x$ means "the power you need to raise 10 to to get 100 is x," or, rearranging: "10 to the x is equal to 100," which in symbols is $10^x=100$ .

(If we wanted to, we could also solve this: $10^2=100$ , so $\log100=2$ )

Answer:

It would be A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because, 5 x 0 is 0, 5 x 1 is 5, 5 x 2 is 10, and so on. Its really just counting in 10s.

Given the function g(x) = 4(3)x, Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2 and Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4.

Rudik [331]

The question is defective, or at least is trying to lead you down the primrose path.
The function is linear, so the rate of change is the same no matter what interval (section) of it you're looking at.
The "rate of change" is just the slope of the function in the section. That's
(change in f(x) ) / (change in 'x') between the ends of the section.
In Section A:Length of the section = (1 - 0) = 1f(1) = 5f(0) = 0change in the value of the function = (5 - 0) = 5Rate of change = (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1 = 5
In Section B:Length of the section = (3 - 2) = 1 f(3) = 15f(2) = 10change in the value of the function = (15 - 10) = 5Rate of change = (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1 = 5
Part A:The average rate of change of each section is 5.
Part B:The average rate of change of Section B is equal to the average rate of change of Section A.
Explanation:The average rates of change in every section are equalbecause the function is linear, its graph is a straight line,and the rate of change is just the slope of the graph.

Triangle WXY has coordinates W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1). Which of the following sets of points represents a dilation of trian

timofeeve [1]

The correct answer for the question shown above is the second option, the option B, which is: B. W'(2, 10), X'(2, 2), Y'(10, 2)
The explanation is shown below: As you can see, the original triangle has the following coordinates W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1); the triangle must be dilated by a common scale factor, so if you analize the option B, you can notice that the triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 2.
