The answer is Option A.
Scale Factors
If the Scale Factor IS 1, the polygon stays the SAME.
(If an equilateral triangle has a side length of 8 and the scale factor is 1, the sides will stay at 8)
If the Scale Factor is MORE THAN 1, the polygon's sides INCREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 3 and the scale factor is 4, the sides will increase to 12)
If the Scale Factor is LESS THAN 1, the polygon's sides DECREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 5 and the scale factor is 1/2, the side lengths will decrease down to 0.5)
Therefore each side length of the new triangle is 4 times shorter than the original (Option A)

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 4x + 25?
blondinia [14]
Solve for x:
x^2 + 4 x + 25 = 0     I ssume that's the notation.
Subtract 25 from both sides:
x^2 + 4 x = -25
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 + 4 x + 4 = -21
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 2)^2 = -21
Take the square root of both sides:
x + 2 = i sqrt(21) or x + 2 = -i sqrt(21)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = i sqrt(21) - 2 or x + 2 = -i sqrt(21)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = i sqrt(21) - 2 or x = -i sqrt(21) - 2

18) If the straight line y=m X touches the circle (x - 2)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 4, then m= ......
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

(8) d. 4/3    (9) a. (X - 4)^2 + (y-4)^2= 25

Step-by-step explanation:

8. CENTER OF CIRCLE: O (2,6)

     radius of circle : r = √4 = 2

if m = 4/3 line: y = 4/3 x

perpendicular distance (d) from center of circle to line y = 4/3 x is

d = |((4/3 x 2) + (-1) x 6)| / √((4/3)² + (-1)²) = |(-10/3)| / √(25/9) = (10/3) / (5/3) = 2

d = r means line touch with circle

9. center of circle is the intersection of the diagonals of rectangle (4,4) and its radius is 5 (illustrated)

the equation of circle: (X - 4)^2 + (y-4)^2= 25

Suppose that the concentration of a bacteria sample is 60 comma 000 bacteria per milliliter. If the concentration triples in 4 ​
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.932 days (or approximatelly 1 day, 22 hours and 22 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inicial concentration is 60,000, and this concentration triples every 4 days, so we can write the equation:

P = Po * r^t

where P is the final concentration after t periods of 4 days, Po is the inicial concentration and r is the ratio that the concentration increases (r = 3)

Then, we have that:

102000 = 60000 * 3^t

3^t = 102/60 = 1.7

log(3^t) = log(1.7)

t*log(3) = log(1.7)

t = log(1.7)/log(3) = 0.483

so the number of days that will take is 4*0.483 = 1.932 days (or approximatelly 1 day, 22 hours and 22 minutes)
