6 0

That's a BIG increase in price! What cost $65 yesterday is now $156. What was the increase? $156 - $65 = $91.

Next: $91 is what fraction of $65? Divide. Answer: 1.4.

Finally, multiply this last result by 100%: 140% (answer)

You are having a conference call with the CEO of a paper company. You have interpreted the number of trees cut down versus profi

loris [4]

You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

What is the approximate scale factor dilating from the red image to the blue image?Explain how you figured this out.

Lorico [155]

If the shape on the red image is scaled to the shape on the blue image, the scale factor is 0.2777.

Explanation:

The original shape's base in the red image is measured. The base of the red image is measured to be 9 units. Now we measure the same side of the blue image. The base of the blue image is measured to be 2.5 units. So after scaling, the length of the painting will be 2.5 units.

To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling. In this case, it is the base of both images. So The scale factor = $\frac{baselengthbeforescaling}{baselengthafterscaling}$ = $\frac{2.5}{9}$ = 0.2777.
So the red image is dilated by a scale factor of 0.2777 to produce the blue image.
