<span>Ans : -3. Explanation : Looking at the figure and its image, three things are immediately obvious..... The image is bigger The image is inverted. The figure and the image have a common point. The common point is the centre of dilation. (â’4, â’4) The fact that it lies BETWEEN the image and the figure means that the SF is a negative number. This accounts for the fact that the image is inverted. To find the Scale Factor divide a side in the image the same side in the figure Looking at the horizontal lines we see.. a side in the image the same side in the figure =â’6/2=â’3</span>

Let

x---------> measure of the base of the triangle of the image

y---------> measure of the base of the triangle of the pre-image

sf-------> the scale factor

we know that

the scale factor is equal to

sf=\frac{x}{y}

in this problem we have

x=6\ units\\y=3\ units

<u>Find the scale factor</u>

substitute the values of x and y in the formula above

sf=\frac{6}{3}=2

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the scale factor is equal to 2

Which statement describes the end behavior of the exponential function f(x) = 2x – 3?
charle [14.2K]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.

Explanation:

As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0.  This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.  

This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.

As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well.  Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.

An elevator containing five people can stop at any of seven floors. What is the probability that no two people exit at the same
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Approximately 0.15 (360 / 2401.) (Assume that the choices of the 5 passengers are independent. Also assume that the probability that a passenger chooses a particular floor is the same for all 7 floors.)

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is no requirement that no two passengers exit at the same floor, each of these 5 passenger could choose from any one of the 7 floors. There would be a total of 7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 7^{5} unique ways for these 5\! passengers to exit the elevator.

Assume that no two passengers are allowed to exit at the same floor.

The first passenger could choose from any of the 7 floors.

However, the second passenger would not be able to choose the same floor as the first passenger. Thus, the second passenger would have to choose from only (7 - 1) = 6 floors.

Likewise, the third passenger would have to choose from only (7 - 2) = 5 floors.

Thus, under the requirement that no two passenger could exit at the same floor, there would be only (7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3) unique ways for these two passengers to exit the elevator.

By the assumption that the choices of the passengers are independent and uniform across the 7 floors. Each of these 7^{5} combinations would be equally likely.

Thus, the probability that the chosen combination satisfies the requirements (no two passengers exit at the same floor) would be:

\begin{aligned}\frac{(7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3)}{7^{5}} \approx 0.15\end{aligned}.

A train traveled 217 miles at an average speed of 62mph. for how many hours did the train travel
Natasha2012 [34]
Well, 217 miles ÷ 62 MPH is 3.5.
so it took the train 3.5 hours.

check it: 62 MPH x 3.5 hours, it went 217 miles

Carey is trying to decide between two guitars. The first had an original price of $160, but is on sale for $100. The second had
Zolol [24]

Subtract the sale price from the original price then divide the difference by the original price.

Guitar 1: 160 -100 = 60

60/160 = 0.375 x 100 = 37.5%

Guitar 2: 250 - 150 = 100

100/250 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%

The answer is the second guitar has a greater percent change of approximately 40%
