Choose the dilation that would represent a reduction

1 answer:

7 0

For this case, the first thing you should know is that there are two possible cases:

Case 1:
If 0 <k <1 then there is a reduction of the orignal figure.

Case 2:
If k> 1 then there is an expansion of the originial figure.

Therefore, in this case, the scale factor that represents a reduction is given by:
k = 3/4 = 0.75 (0 <k <1)

Answer:
the dilation that would represent a reduction is:
C. k = 3/4

Between x = 2 and x = 3, which function has a smaller average rate of change than y = 2x ? A) y = 2 3 -x B) y = 4x - 1 C) y = 5x

xxTIMURxx [149]

The two points are (x, f(x)) and (x+h, f(x+h)). To find the slope, the definition is the change in y over the change of x. Does this sound familiar!! Applying this definition we get the following formula: and the points x1 = 2 and x2 = 4. Then in our general answer, we will replace x with x1 and h = x2 - x1. Replacing these values in the formula yields 2(2) + (4 - 2) = 4 + 2 = 6. Thus, the slope of the secant line connecting the two points of the function is 6. Now using the same function as above, find the average rate of change between x1 = -1 and x2 = -3. The answer is 2(-1) + ( -3 + 1) = -2 + -2 = -4. This means that the secant line is going downhill or decreasing as you look at it from le

Find the smallest possible solution to 2/3x^2=24

Bezzdna [24]

$\dfrac{2}{3} x^2 = 24$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 2/3 on both sides :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x^2 = 24 \div \dfrac{2}{3}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the divide fraction to multiplication fraction :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x^2 = 24 \times \dfrac{3}{2}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Simplify :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x^2 = 36$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x = \pm \sqrt{36}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x = \pm6$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The smallest possible value of x is -6

The pair of points is on the graph of an inverse variation. Find the missing value.

LiRa [457]

The x-value increases by a factor of 5 from 1.6 to 8 between the two points. Because the variation is inverse, the y-value must decrease by a factor of 5 between the two points.

6/5 = 1.2

The second point is (8, 1.2), corresponding to the 4th selection.
