The rule for dilation (scale factor k) about the origin is given by:
(x,y)->(kx,ky)

The scale factor k can be obtained from any one of the ratios:
scale\, factor\, =\, k\, = \frac{OD'}{OD}=\frac{OE'}{OE}=\frac{OF'}{OF}=\frac{OG'}{OG}=\frac{1}{2}

Answer:

The scale factor of the dilation is \frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is clear that the vertices of figure DEFG are D(4,8), E(8,8), F(8,6), G(4,6).

The vertices of image D'E'F'G' are D'(2,4), E'(4,4), F'(4,3), G'(2,3).

From the figure it is clear that DF=4 units and D'F'=2 units.

The scale factor is proportion of corresponding sides of image and preimage.

k=(D'F')/(DF)

Substitute DF=4 units and D'F'=2 units.

k=(2)/(4)

k = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore the scale factor of the dilation is \frac{1}{2}.

Eric's cell phone service costs $40.00 a month for unlimited calls. He also pays $0.02 for each text message he sends.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

A. 40.021

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlimited calls = $40

Text message = $0.021

NOTE:There is a difference between the value you gave for cost of text messages in the question and the values given in the group of answers. I will use $0.021 for cost of text messages since it is common to all answer choices.

Total cost = Cost of unlimited calls + cost of text messages

C = $40 + $0.021

= $40.021

Therefore, the equation which represent the total cost in dollars for a month is 40.021

A. 40.021

An equation that sets two fractions equal to each other is called a ____.
Shkiper50 [21]
An equation that sets two fractions equal to each other is called a proportion. A proportion is a name we give to a statement that two ratios are equal. When two ratios are equal, then the cross products<span> of the ratios are equal. Hope this helps.</span>

Answer:

A.  -41/15.

Step-by-step explanation:

15x^2 + 23x - 41 = 0

Product of the roots of ax^2 + bx + c = c/a.

Thus the product of the roots of this equation = -41/15.
