we know that

The cost is directly proportional to the weight, so if the weight is increased by a factor of 4, the cost will also increase by a factor of 4.

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the total cost increase by a factor of 4

Answer:

Both sides of the ratio is increased by a factor of four.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios given:          <u> Weights </u>         <u> Costs </u>

                                     1                      2

                                     4                      8

                                     6                     12

                                    10                    20

Each cost is the double of its weight, so the base ratio is 1:2. This is where we begin.

When you increase the weight by a factor of four, this is what that side of the ratios change to:    

                   4:2                 8:8                    24:12                   40:20

This changes the base ratio to 2:1. Because the base ratio isn't meant to change, what we did to one side of the ratio we must do to the other to maintain proportionality. So that means the factor of cost increase is also four.

New ratios:

                              4:8     8:32    24:48   40:80

4m

<u>Explanation</u>
Δqrp is a right triangle. 
If ps = 6m then, qp = 3m. So we can find line pr using pythagoras theorem. 
rp = √(5²-3²) = √16 = 4m

The Δqrp≡Δqtp.

Below is the graph of f(x)= 2in(x) how would you describe the graph of g(x) = 4in(x)?
alukav5142 [94]
The amplitude of 4 ln x is always exactly twice the amplitude of 2 ln x.  

Please note:  You refer to a graph, but you have not shared this graph.  
Also please note:  The abbreviation for "natural logarithm" is ln x, not in(x).

"ln" stands for logarithm (natural).

The local carnival grounds are in the shape of a rectangle. The area of the grounds is 0.125 square mile. The length of the grou
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = 2x

Area of the ground = 0.125 square mile

length * width = 0.125

 2x * x = 0.125

     2x² = 0.125

       x² = \frac{0.125}{2}\\\\

            = 0.0625

       x^{2}=\frac{625}{10000}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{625}{10000}}\\\\ x=\frac{25}{100}\\\\x=0.25

Width = 0.25 miles

Length = 2* 0.25 = 0.50 miles
