Answer:

The area of the dilated rectangle is equal to 40\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x------> the area of the dilated rectangle

y------> the area of the original rectangle

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=8 ------> is an enlargement

y=(5/8)\ ft^{2}

substitute and solve for x

8^{2}=\frac{x}{(5/8)}

x=64*(5/8)=40\ ft^{2}

A dilation is basically a factor of enlargement or reduction, where you multiply the factor for the dilation. 

So,

Multiply the numerator 5 by the factor of 8. 

5*8= 40 

40/8 ft^2= 5 ft^2

The new area if 5 ft^2. 

I hope this helps!

What is the x of 2/3x squared minus 6x plus 15
iogann1982 [59]
(2/3)x^2 -6x + 15 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [-b +-sq root(b^2 - 4 *a*c)] / 2a
x= [--6 +-sq root(36 -4*(2/3)*15] / 2*(2/3)
x= [6 +-sq root 36 -40] / (4/3)

x1 = 4.5 + (2i / (4/3))
x1 = 4.5 + 1.5i
x2 = 4.5 - (2i / (4/3))
x2 = 4.5 - 1.5i

What is the answer to 1
Burka [1]
The answer is 21. 75²=5625 72²=5184 5625-5184=441 √441=21 so 21 is your answer. I hope this helps. The formula to figure out the hypotenuse A²+B²=C² can also be used to find a leg. Since we have one leg and the hypotenuse I was able to figure this out.

2×|x|+19=167 find the values of x
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

x = 74

Step-by-step explanation:

2 * x + 19 = 167

2x + 19 = 167

So we have to subtract 19 from both sides

2x = 148

Divide both sides by 2

x = 74

The graph of f(x) = x3 + x2 - 9x - 9 is shown.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

-1, 3, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see the graph, but you can solve by factoring:

x^3+x^2-9x-9=0\\x^2(x+1)-9(x+1)=0\\(x+1)(x^2-9)=0\\(x+1)(x+3)(x-3)=0

By the factor theorem, the solutions of f(x) are -1, 3, and -3.
