an actor is 6ft tall. on a billboard the actors height in the picture is 16.8. what is the scale factor
1 answer:
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:
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:
\
Now we find "k", the scale factor:
Hence, the scale factor is 2.8

A polynomial of degree 3 has exactly 3 solutions if we use complex numbers. If the polynomial has real coefficients and z is a complex solution, i.e., , the conjugate is also a solution:
So, in the first case, if we know that 1-i is a solution, the conjugate 1+i must be a solution as well.
So, we know all the roots: -5, 1+i, 1-i.
When you know the solutions of a polynomial, you can write the polynomial (up to multiples) as
So, in your case, we have
You can check that indeed , because the constant term is 10, so, we're ok with this
The second exercise is exactly the same: the solutions -6, i, -i identify the polynomial
In this case, P(-3)=30, so if we want P(-3)=60 we have to multiply everything by 2:
