Answer: The scale factor of the dilation is 0.5.

Explanation:

It is given that ABCD is polygon which is reflected and dilated , then we get PQRS.

The vertices of ABCD are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16, 2) respectively. The vertices of image  PQRS are (11, 15),(9, 12), (6, 12), and (4, 15) respectively.

The reflection affects the coordinates but does not affect the length of the sides.

But when we talk about dilation it affects the length of sides according to the scale factor or a constant factor.

If a line segment AB is dilated by scale factor k then length of A'B' is k times length of AB.

|A'B'|=k\times |AB|   .... (1)

So we have to find any side length of preimage and the side length of that side in image. it means we have to find AB and PQ.

Use distance formula to find the side length.

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

AB=\sqrt{(8-2)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{36+16}=2\sqrt{13}

PQ=\sqrt{(9-11)^2+(12-15)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}

It is noticed that the size of side in preimage is 2\sqrt{13} and the size of same side in image is \sqrt{13}.

Using equation (1), we get

\sqrt{13}=k \times 2\sqrt{13}

k=\frac{1}{2}

k=0.5

Hence, the value of scale factor is 0.5.

Convert the length 7 centimeters to meters. Compare the numerical values when both numbers are written in scientific notation
miv72 [106K]
<span>1.       </span><span>Given numbers
=> 7 centimeters convert to meters
In every 1 meter there are 100 centimeters
=> 7 / 100
=> 0.07
Therefore in 7 centimeters there are 0.07 meters.
7 cm is a whole number while 0.07 m is a decimal number
Scientific Notation of each numbers
=> 7 cm = 7 x 10^0
=> 7 m = 1 x 10^-2
Scientific notation by the way is an expression used by the scientist to make a large number or very small number easy to handle.

Answer:

Divide both sides by V

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is not well written.

Mariko needs to solve the equation below for D. Here is the equation:

M = DV

For Mariko to get D, he needs to make D the subject of the formula by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of D i.e V as shown;

Divide both sides by V

M/V = DV/V

V at the denominator will cancel out the V at the numerator to have:

M/V = D

Rearrange

D = M/V

Therefore, the statement which correctly describes the step he should take is:

Divide both sides by V. Option B is correct.

A manufacturing firm tests job applicants. Test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 5
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The probability that the candidate score is 600 or greater

P(X≥ 600 ) = 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-

Given mean of the Population = 500

Given standard deviation of the Population = 50

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

Given  X = 600

Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{600-500}{50} = \frac{100}{50} =2

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

The probability that the candidate score is 600 or greater

P(X≥ 600 ) = P(z≥2)

                  = 0.5 - A(2)

                 = 0.5 -0.4772

                = 0.0228

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

The probability that the candidate score is 600 or greater

P(X≥ 600 ) = 0.0228
