5 0

Given a triangle (3 sides), a hexagon (6 sides) and a nonagon (9 sides).

The sides increases by 3 and the equation that represents the pattern is 3n.

Therefore, the <span>expression that represents the number of sides in the polygon for the nth member of the pattern is 3n.</span>

Circle 1 is centered at (−4, 5) and has a radius of 2 centimeters. Circle 2 is centered at (2, 1) and has a radius of 6 centimet

IgorC [24]

Basically, you have two circles. You are asked to take circle 1 and "move it" so that it is on top of circle 2. This process of moving is called a translation and can be thought of as sliding. You do this by ensuring that the two have the same center. So, starting at (-4,5) how do you have to move to end up at (2,1)?

To do this we need to move right 6 as the x-coordinate goes from -4 to 2. We also need to move down 4 as the y-coordinate goes from 5 to 1. So we add 6 to the x-coordinate and subtract 4 from the y-coordinate. The transformation rule is (x+6, y-4).

Once you do this the circles have the same center. Next you wish to dilate circle 1 so it ends up being the same size at circle 2. That means you stretch it out in such a way that it keeps its shape. Circle 1 has a radius of 2 centimeters and circle 2 has a radius of 6 centimeters. That is 3x bigger. So we dilate by a factor of 3.

Translations and dilations (along with reflections and rotations) belong to a group known as transformations.

Convert (-6, -6) from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates. Round the length to the nearest 0.01 Express the

Neko [114]

Answer:

(8.49; 225°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is a 3rd-quadrant angle. The reference angle will be ...

arctan(-6/-6) = 45°

In the 3rd quadrant, the angle is 45° +180° = 225°.

The magnitude of the vector to the point is its distance from the origin:

√((-6)² +(-6)²) = √(6²·2) = 6√2 ≈ 8.4859 ≈ 8.49

The polar coordinates can be written as (8.49; 225°).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

My preferred form for the polar coordinates is 8.49∠225°. Most authors use some sort of notation with parentheses. If parentheses are used, I prefer a semicolon between the coordinate values so they don't get confused with an (x, y) ordered pair that uses a comma. You need to use the coordinate format that is consistent with your curriculum materials.

If you sleep 33% in a day, how many hours is that?

strojnjashka [21]

We know that
one day is equal to $24 hrs$
so
$33$ % of the day is equal to
$(\frac{33}{100} )*24 \\ =7.92 hrs$

the answer is
$7.92 hrs$
