Answer:

Option B. 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

where

k is the constant of proportionality

The slope of the linear equation is the same that the constant of proportionality

In this problem we have

$y=7.6x$

the slope is $m=7.6$

therefore

The constant of proportionality k is $k=7.6$

jenna's rectangular garden borders a wall. she buys 80 ft of fencing. what are the dimensions of the garden that will maximize i

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

let 'x' be the length and the 'y' be the width of the rectangle

given Jenna's buys 80ft of fencing of rectangle so the perimeter of the rectangle is 2(x +y) = 80

x + y =40

y = 40 -x

now the area of the rectangle A = length X width

A = x y

substitute 'y' value in above A = x (40 - x)

A = 40 x - x^2 .....(1)

Step :2

now differentiating equation (1) with respective to 'x'

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 40 -2x$ ........(2)

Find the dimensions

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 0$

40 - 2x =0

40 = 2x

x = 20

and y = 40 - x = 40 -20 =20

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20

length = 20 and breadth = 20

Step 3:-

we have to find maximum area

Again differentiating equation (2) with respective to 'x' we get

$\frac{d^2A}{dx^2} = -2$

Now the maximum area A = x y at x =20 and y=20

A = 20 X 20 = 400

Conclusion:-

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

verification:-

The perimeter = 2(x +y) =80

2(20 +20) =80

2(40) =80

80 =80

Rectangle ABCD with coordinates A(1, 1), B(4, 1), C(4, 2), and D(1, 2) dilates with respect to the origin to give rectangle A'B'

Scale factor is a ratio. The correct option is C.

<h3>How are scale drawings formed?</h3>

For a particular scale drawing, it is already specified that all the measurements' some constant scaled version will be taken. For example, let the scale be K feet to s inches.

Then it means

$\rm 1\: ft : \dfrac{s}{k}\: in.$

All feet measurements will then be multiplied by s/k to get the drawing's corresponding lengths.

The length of AB can be written as,

AB = √[(1-4)²+ (1-1)²]

AB = 3

Since the length A'B' is 6 units, therefore, the scale factor will be,

Scale factor = (Length after transformation)/(Length before transformation)

Scale factor = 6 /3 = 2

Hence, the correct option is C.

Vertex F of ΔDEF has coordinates (−3, 7). If ΔDEF is reflected over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of vertex Fʹ?

docker41 [41]

The reflection will be on the other side of the y-axis.
Its coordinates will be (3, 7).
