Answer: The correct option is (A). 3.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the scale factor of dilation from ΔABC to ΔDEF.

As shown in the figure, the lengths of the sides of ΔABC to ΔDEF are

AB = 5 units, BC = 4 units, CA = 3 units,

DE = 15 units, EF = 12 units, FD = 9 units.

We know that the scale factor is given by

$S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated figure}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original figure}}.$

Therefore, the scale factor of dilation from from ΔABC to ΔDEF is

$S=\dfrac{DE}{AB}=\dfrac{15}{5}=3.$

Thus, the required scale factor is 3.

Option (A) is correct.

Describe how the graph of each function differs from the graph of f(x)=|x|. Then determine the domain and range.

Brilliant_brown [7]

A. We can compress the graph of the function $f(x)=|x|$ in the y-direction by multiplying the whole function by a constant C, such that $0$ Since $0$ , the graph of the function $g(x)= 0.6|x|$ is obtained from the graph of the function $f(x)=|x|$ by compression in the y-direction.

B. We can stretch the graph of the function $f(x)=|x|$ in the y-direction by multiplying the whole function by a constant C, such that $C>1.$ Since $4>1,$ , the graph of the function $g(x)= 4|x-3|$ is obtained from the graph of the function $f(x)=|x|$ by compression in the y-direction and translation 3 units to the right.

C. We can flip the graph of the function $f(x)=|x|$ upside down by multiplying the whole function by −1, then translate 1 unit to the left and 5 units up. Then we will get the function $g(x)=-|x+1|+5.$

a recipe for lasagna calls for 3 pounds of tomatoes to serve 5 people. a caterer wants to make enough lasagna to serve 110 peopl

Roman55 [17]

To do this you want to divide 110 by 5 to get 22. Now you want to multiply 3 by 22. That means the caterer need 66 pounds of tomatoes.
