In similar figures, the ratio between corresponding sides are the same.

\frac{25}{35}=\frac{35}{49}

Simplify the two to see that they are equal.
The top and bottom of the left fraction are divisible by 5.
The top and bottom of the right fraction are divisible by 7.

\frac{5}7=\frac{5}7

Of course, the dimensions of that third picture would have to be this fraction.
Let's test these answers.

\frac{5}6\neq\frac{5}7 ⇒ A is not a solution

\frac{30}{42}=\frac{5}7 ⇒ B is the solution
(divide the top and bottom by 6)

PLEASE HELP. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answer:

x-intercepts = 1,2, and 4, y-intercept = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 7x^2 - 14x - 8 in factored form is equal to (x-1)(x-2)(x-4).

Solving for x-intercepts:

  • We are actually able to solve for all x-intercepts without the given factor. But since we are given one of the factors, our job becomes much easier.
  • Using synthetic division, or long division, we factor out the x-intercept 4. Which leaves us with the polynomial x^2 - 3x + 2.
  • From here we can separate the polynomial into two binomials.
  • x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x-1)(x-2). Giving us all 3 x-intercepts.
  • Using Descartes' rules we can identify before even starting the problem how many real x-intercepts there are (Not needed for this problem).

Solving for y-intercept:

  • The y-intercept is always the coefficient that does not have any assigned x-variables.
  • The coefficient is -8, thus the y-intercept.
  • If unsure of the y-intercept, you can always plug in x = 0. Solving for the y-intercept will give you the value of f(0).
  • If there is no coefficient, the y-intercept is equal to zero.
