Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the scale factor of the given dilation.

We have been given that the perimeter of a rectangle changes from 2.5 to 10 after a dilation. We are asked to find the scale factor of dilation.

The scale factor multiplied by the original side gives the length of new side after dilation, so we can set an equation as:

\text{Original length }\cdot \text{Scale factor}=\text{New length after dilation}

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

2.5\cdot x=10

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 2.5 we will get,

\frac{2.5\cdot x}{2.5}=\frac{10}{2.5}

x=4

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is 4 and option B is the correct choice.

Scale factor = new length/old length

scale factor = 10/2.5 = 4

The scale factor is 4.

Why might you want to round to the nearest hundred rather than the nearest ten?
Eva8 [605]
Rounding to the nearest hundredth would equal a more accurate and precise answer since more decimals are present. Your answer would be even more accurate if you rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Would you need to use the chain rule to find the derivative of this function?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

TRUE. We need to use the chain rule to find the derivative of the given function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chain rule to find the derivative,

We have to find the derivative of F(x)

If F(x) = f[g(x)]

Then F'(x) = f'[g(x)].g'(x)

Given function is,

y = \sqrt{2x+3}

Here g(x) = (2x + 3)

and f[g(x)] = \sqrt{2x+3}

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{2x+3}).\frac{d}{dx} (2x+3)

y' = \frac{1}{2}(2x+3)^{(1-\frac{1}{2})}.(2)

   = (2x+3)^{-\frac{1}{2}}

y' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2x+3}}

Therefore, it's true that we need to use the chain rule to find the derivative of the given function.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

the answer is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

beacuse if we use the pythagorean theorem for 9 and 12 we get 15 which means that the perimeter is P=9+15+12=36
