A meter stick casts a shadow 2.4 m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 9.7 m long. How tall is the flagpole

The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since <span>meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let </span>h be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for h:
\frac{h}{1} = \frac{9.7}{2.4}
h=\frac{9.7}{2.4}
h=4.04

We can conclude that the pole is 4.04 meters tall.

Select the correct answer.<br> Which function is the inverse of function<br> f(x) = -2
Artemon [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

let f(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject

y = \frac{x+2}{7} ( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )

7y = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

7y - 2 = x

Change y back into terms of x with x the inverse function, that is

p(x) = 7x - 2

vaieri [72.5K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  c = 150p + 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the variable cost is 150 per phone, so the total cost will be ...

  c = 150p +b . . . . for some value b

We also know the value of c for 8 phones, so we can find b:

  2200 = 150(8) + b

  2200 -1200 = b = 1000

Then the desired equation is ...

  c = 150p + 1000

How do you find the center of dilation for a negetive dilation?​
Andrei [34K]

the Answer:

Notice that the "image" triangles are on the opposite side of the center of the dilation (vertices are on opposite side of O from the preimage). Also, notice that the triangles have been rotated 180º.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original but is a different size. The description of a dilation includes the scale factor (constant of dilation) and the center of the dilation. The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane about which all points are expanded or contracted. The center is the only invariant (not changing) point under a dilation (k ≠1), and may be located inside, outside, or on a figure.

Note:

A dilation is NOT referred to as a rigid transformation (or isometry) because the image is NOT necessarily the same size as the pre-image (and rigid transformations preserve length).

What happens when scale factor k is a negative value?

If the value of scale factor k is negative, the dilation takes place in the opposite direction from the center of dilation on the same straight line containing the center and the pre-image point. (This "opposite" placement may be referred to as being a " directed segment" since it has the property of being located in a specific "direction" in relation to the center of dilation.)

Let's see how a negative dilation affects a triangle:

Notice that the "image" triangles are on the opposite side of the center of the dilation (vertices are on opposite side of O from the preimage). Also, notice that the triangles have been rotated 180º.

F(x)=6x-3 graph the function in inverse
Digiron [165]

Answer:

See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 6x - 3

y = 6x - 2

Switch out x for y.

x = 6y - 2

Solve for y.

x + 2 = 6y

\frac{x+2}{6} = y

Graph.
