Answer:

Option A is correct

k = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of dilation with scale factor k is given by:

k = \frac{\text{Image length}}{\text{original length}}

As per the statement:

Line AB has a length of 5 cm. The line segment is dilated to produce line A'B', which has a length of 2 cm.

⇒original Length (AB)= 5 cm

and

Image length (A'B') = 2 cm

Apply the rule of dilation we have;

k = \frac{\text{A'B'}}{\text{AB}}

Substitute the given values;

k = \frac{2}{5}

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is, 2/5

G(x)=x^3+5x h(x) =x+3 find (g+h)(x)
exis [7]

(g+h)(x) = x^3+6x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The operations on functions can be performed as they are performed on polynomials

The addition of functions is used in the given question

Given

g(x)=x^3+5x\\h(x)=x+3

We have to find:

(g+h)(x)=g(x)+h(x)\\=x^3+5x+x+3\\=x^3+6x+3

So,

(g+h)(x) = x^3+6x+3

In the triangle below,<br> y = [ ? ] cm. Round to the<br> nearest tenth.
sattari [20]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>12.3 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find y

To find y we use cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

From the question

y is the adjacent

The hypotenuse is 15

So we have

\cos(35)  =  \frac{y}{15}  \\ y = 15 \cos( 35 )  \\ y = 12.28728

We have the final answer as

<h3>12.3 cm to the nearest tenth</h3>

Hope this helps you
