A photograph was enlarged to a width of 15 inches. If the scale factor was 3 /2 , what was the width of the original photograph?

1 answer:

6 0

If the width is 15, and the scale factor from width to length is 3:2, then you will have to divide 15 by 3 to get your original width.
15/3 = 5.
5 is your original width.

15. [4] insufficient information. only given SA
16. There are 3 right triangles, 3 Pythagorean theorem equations
x²+b²= 16²
12²+a² = x²
a²+4² = b²

combine equations using substitution to get in terms of only x
substitute b² for (a² +x²) in first equation
x²+a²+4²=16²
substitute a² for (x² - 12²)
x²+x²-12²+4² = 16²
solve for x
2x² - 144 + 16 = 256
2x² = 256 + 144 - 16
2x² = 384
x² = 384/2
x² = 192
x = 13.85

rounded to nearest tenth, x = 13.9

What is the range of f(x)=e^x?

Tanzania [10]

The range refers to the value of y for which x is define.

So let y=f(x),

$y = {e}^{x}$

Try making x the subject to obtain,

$x = ln(y)$
x is defined for all real values of y greater than
0.

Hence the correct answer is D.

Mrs. Gainey planned a dinner for 15 people this Thanksgiving. She bought 22.5 lbs of turkey, plus potatoes, cranberry salad, rol

likoan [24]

Each person was to have 1.5 pounds of turkey, but, with the extra people she would have to buy an additional 4.5 pounds of turkey. If she didn’t buy anymore turkey then everyone would get 1.25 pounds of turkey, which is about 1/6 less of what they would have originally gotten. 1/6 is equal to 16.7% or 0.167.
