Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, figure B was enlarged to obtain figure A.

The two figures are therefore similar.

The corresponding sides are in the same proportion. That constant value of the proportion is called scale factor.

It is given by:

$k = \frac{image \: length}{corresponding\:object \: length}$

Figure B is the image of A

$k = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{25}{10} = \frac{21.5}{8.6} = 2.5$

Therefore the scale factor is 2.5

Hal is asked to write an exponential function to represent the value of a $10,000 investment decreasing at 2% annually. What

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The investment starts at $10,000.

$10,000 is 100% of the investment.

In the first year, it loses 2% of its value. That means that after 1 year, the value of 100% of $10,000 is decreased by 2% of $10,000.

100% - 2% = 98%

After the first year, the investment is worth 98% of the original value.

98% as a decimal is 0.98

What is the slope of a line in hat is parallel to the following: y = 3x - 4

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The slope is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines always have the same slopes. This equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, m being the slope. Our m, or the slope, is 3, and because the line is parallel, it also has a slope of 3.

Find each Of change. Round to the nearest whole percent if necessary. State whether the percent Of change is an increase or 1. O

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. The percentage change is 74% and it is a percentage decrease

2. The percentage change is 15% and it is a percentage decrease

3. The percentage change is 20% and it is a percentage decrease

4. The percentage change is 43% and it is a percentage increase

5. The percentage change is 40% and it is a percentage decrease

6. The percentage change is 39% and it is a percentage decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1.\ Original = 5; New = 1.3$

$2.\ Original = 160; New = 136$

$3.\ Original = 15; New = 12$

$4.\ Original = 7; New = 10$

$5.\ Original = $30; New = $18$

$6.\ Original = 9.6; New = 5.9$

Required

Determine the percentage change and state whether it's an increase or decrease

Percentage change is calculated as:

$\%Change = \frac{New - Original}{Original} * 100\%$

$1.\ Original = 5; New = 1.3$

$\%Change = \frac{1.3 - 5}{1.3} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-3.7}5} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-3.7 * 100\%}{5}$

$\%Change = \frac{-370\%}{5}$

$\%Change = -74\%$

<em>The percentage change is 74% and it is a percentage decrease</em>

$2.\ Original = 160; New = 136$

$\%Change = \frac{136 - 160}{160} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-24}{160} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-24 * 100\%}{160}$

$\%Change = \frac{-2400\%}{160}$

$\%Change = -15\%$

<em>The percentage change is 15% and it is a percentage decrease</em>

$3.\ Original = 15; New = 12$

$\%Change = \frac{12- 15}{15} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-3}{15} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-3* 100\%}{15}$

$\%Change = \frac{-300\%}{15}$

$\%Change = -20\%$

<em>The percentage change is 20% and it is a percentage decrease</em>

$4.\ Original = 7; New = 10$

$\%Change = \frac{10- 7}{7} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{3}{7} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{3* 100\%}{7}$

$\%Change = \frac{300\%}{7}$

$\%Change = 43\%$ -- (approximated)

<em>The percentage change is 43% and it is a percentage increase</em>

<em></em>

$5.\ Original = $30; New = $18$

$\%Change = \frac{18- 30}{30} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-12}{30} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-12* 100\%}{30}$

$\%Change = \frac{-1200\%}{30}$

$\%Change = -40\%}$

<em>The percentage change is 40% and it is a percentage decrease</em>

$6.\ Original = 9.6; New = 5.9$

$\%Change = \frac{5.9- 9.6}{9.6} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-3.7}{9.6} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{-3.7* 100\%}{9.6}$

$\%Change = \frac{-370\%}{9.6}$

$\%Change = -39\%$ -- (approximated)

<em>The percentage change is 39% and it is a percentage decrease</em>
