Answer: −2 and −1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation of a geometric image that is known to change its size but not the shape.

The size of the figure basically depends on the scale factor (k) .

When k >1 , then there would be expansion.

When k<1 , then there would be contraction.

When k=1 , then no change in size.

i.e. For contraction , the scale factor (k) must be negative.

From the given options , the scale factors produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image would be −2 and −1/2.

Hence,the correct answers are : −2 and −1/2.

What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of the linear equation 3x-6y=2

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The x-intercept is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to note that the x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0. So we plug in y = 0 and see what the x value is.

3x - 6y = 2

3x - 6(0) = 2

3x = 2

x = 2/3

The y-intercept is the opposite. It is the y value when x = 0. So we do the same with the other term.

3x - 6y = 2

3(0) - 6y = 2

-6y = 2

y = -2/6

y = -1/3

The following table shows the estimated populations and annual growth rates for four countries in the year 2000. Find the expect

Softa [21]

Answer:

For Australia: 22,044,350

For China: 1,545,744,200

For Mexico: 145,507,500

For Zaire: 92,237,875

Step-by-step explanation:

For Australia: Population in 2000 is 19,169,000 and it is increasing steadily at a rate of 0.6% per year.

Therefore, the population in the year 2025 will be

$19169000[1+\frac{0.6 \times 25}{100} ]= 22,044,350$ (Answer)

For China: Population in 2000 is 1,261,832,000 and it is increasing steadily at a rate of 0.9% per year.

Therefore, the population in the year 2025 will be

$1261832000[1+\frac{0.9 \times 25}{100} ]= 1,545,744,200$ (Answer)

For Mexico: Population in 2000 is 100,350,000 and it is increasing steadily at a rate of 1.8% per year.

Therefore, the population in the year 2025 will be

$100350000[1+\frac{1.8 \times 25}{100} ]= 145,507,500$ (Answer)

For Zaire: Population in 2000 is 51,965,000 and it is increasing steadily at a rate of 3.1% per year.

Therefore, the population in the year 2025 will be

$51965000[1+\frac{3.1 \times 25}{100} ]= 92,237,875$ (Answer)

The height of a lighthouse in Pensacola, Florida, is 150 feet. Standing next to the statue, Natalie casts a 1.1-foot shadow. She

iogann1982 [59]

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Natalie is standing right next to the Penthouse, we can establish the ration between her height and the shadow she casts, which is;

1.1 : 5.5

The two are related by a factor of 1/5

We can use this factor to establish the shadow cast by the penthouse;

1/5 * 150

= 30
