Answer:

Scale Factor (small to large) is 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is "how many times" it is larger.

If we have an actual quantity be "a" and the enlarged quantity be "b" and we let the scale factor be "k", we can write the equation shown below:

ka=b

So, we basically mean "what number" (scale factor) should be multiply with the actual value (smaller one) to get the enlarged value (bigger one). From the problem, we can write:

\k(6)=16.8

Now we find "k", the scale factor:

k(6)=16.8\\k=\frac{16.8}{6}\\k=2.8

Hence, the scale factor is 2.8

What are the x intercepts
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer

DescriptionIn mathematics, a zero of a real-, complex-, or generally vector-valued function, is a member of the domain of such that vanishes at; that is, the function attains the value of 0 at, or equivalently, is the solution to the equation. A "zero" of a function is thus an input value that produces an output of.

Step-by-step explanation:x is the connection of the y intercept in a equation dealing with a graph or coordinates.

Help on 3. And 4. Thank you!

Answer:

#3.) The initial value of  16 gal at  x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.

#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.

Let y = 0,  to solve for time x.

0 = (-2/5)*x + 18

(2/5)*x = 18

x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes

Up to and after 45 minutes, the barrel is empty of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

#2.)  

minutes:      5, 10, 15, 20

water(gal):  16, 14, 12, 10

Find slope:    slope m = (14 - 16)/(10 - 5) = -2/5

y - 10 = (-2/5)*(x - 20)

y - 10 = (-2/5)* x  + 8

y = (-2/5)*x + 18

rate of change slope means that for every minute  2/5 gallons of water is lost

#3.) The initial value of  16 gal at  x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.

#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.

Let y = 0,  to solve for time x.

0 = (-2/5)*x + 18

(2/5)*x = 18

x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes
