Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be found by dividing two corresponding side lengths. For instance, if you have two triangles, divide the new length of the larger or smaller triangle by the same side length of the original.

If the side length of the new was 9 and the old was 3 then the scale factor would be 9/3 = 3.

If it were flipped then the new would be 3 and the old would be 9. So the scale factor would be 3/9 = 1/3.

Using linear function concepts, it is found that:

a) It costs $0.1 for each kilowatt hour of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh.
b) f(90) = 46.6, which is the cost of 340 kWh of consumption in a month.

------------------------------

A <em>linear function </em>has the format given by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, how much y changes when x changes by 1.
b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

The equation for the cost of h kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh is of:

$C = f(h) = 37.6 + 0.1h$

Item a:

The slope is of $m = 0.1$ , which means that it costs $0.1 for each kilowatt hour of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh.

Item b:

$f(90) = 37.6 + 0.1(90) = 37.6 + 9 = 46.6$

250 + 90 = 340.

f(90) = 46.6, which is the cost of 340 kWh of consumption in a month.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! HELP HELP HELP HURRY HURRY

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Part A: yes it is a function because every input value (x) produces only one output value (y).

Note: It is still a function if different x values produce the same y value, in this case, x=1 and x=-1 produce the same y value 1, but it is NOT a function if y=1 and y=-1 have the same x value x=1.

Part B: when x=30: f(30)=17*30+50=560

if means that the cost of renting the truck for 30 hours is 560 dollars.

Susie has a bag of marbles containing 3 Red, 7 Green, and 10 Blue marbles.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

1) a) 0.0945

b) 0.1062

2) a) 0.0138

b) 0.00081

3) a) 0.00094

b) 0.00083

4) 301.68 cents

5) 0.0056

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 Red, 7 Green, and 10 Blue marbles.

Total number of marbles N = 20

Probability (Red) = 3/20

Probability (Green) = 7/20

Probability (Blue) = 10/20

1) the probability of picking 5 marbles and getting at least one red marble

A) with replacement

P(at least 1 red of 5)= (3/20 * 17/20 * 17/20 * 17/20 * 17/20) + (3/20 * 3/20 * 17/20 * 17/20 * 17/20) + (3/20 * 3/20 * 3/20 * 17/20 * 17/20)

P(at least 1 red of 5) = 0.0783 +0.0138 + 0.0024 = 0.0945

B) without replacement

P(at least 1 red of 5) = ( 3/20 * 17/19* 16/18 * 15/17 * 14/16) + (3/20 * 2/19 * 17/18 * 16/17 * 15/16) + (3/20 * 2/19 * 1/18 * 17/17 * 16/16)

P(at least 1 red of 5) = 0.0921 + 0.01316 + 0.0009 = 0.1062

2) the probability of picking 6 marbles having 2 of each color

A) with replacement

P( 6, 2 of each) = 3/20 * 3/20 * 7/20 * 7/20 * 10/20 * 10/20

P( 6, 2 of each) = 0.0138

B) without replacement

P( 6, 2 of each) = 3/20 * 2/19 * 7/18 * 6/17 * 10/16 * 9/15

P( 6, 2 of each) = 0.00081

3) Pick 8 marbles: 4 green and 4 blue

A) with replacement

P(8, 4G and 4 B) = 7/20*7/20*7/20*7/20*10/20*10/20*10/20

P(8, 4G and 4 B) = 0.00094

B) without replacement

P(8, 4G and 4 B) = 7/20*6/19*5/18*4/17*10/16*9/15*8/14*7/13 = 0.00083

4) getting at least 6 marbles of the same color

Only Green and Blue marbles are more than 6

P(at least 6 marbles of the same color) = (7/20*6/19*5/18*4/17*3/16*2/15) + (10/20*9/19*8/18*7/17*6/16*5/15)

= 0.00018 + 0.00542

P(at least 6 marbles of the same color) = 0.0056

Cost of 6 .marbles= 6* 50 cents

C = 300 cents

Therefore, You will have to pay

(1 + 0.0056) 300 cent = 301.68 cents to be sure of getting at least 6 marbles of the same color

5) getting at least 6 marbles of the same color

Only Green and Blue marbles are more than 6

P(at least 6 marbles of the same color) = (7/20*6/19*5/18*4/17*3/16*2/15) + (10/20*9/19*8/18*7/17*6/16*5/15)

= 0.00018 + 0.00542

P(at least 6 marbles of the same color) = 0.0056

Please Identify the congruent triangles in the figure.

Tpy6a [65]

The missing steps are each right angles and $\angle R \cong \angle O$ .

Solution:

Step 1: Given data:

$\overline {P Q} \cong \overline{M N}$

$\overline{Q R} \cong \overline{N O}$

$\overline{P R} \cong \overline{M O}$

Step 2: In the two polygons,

$\angle Q =90^\circ$ and $\angle N =90^\circ$

$\angle Q \cong \angle N$ (Each right angle)

Step 3: Given

$\angle P \cong \angle M$

Step 4: By third angle theorem,

If two angles in one triangle are congruent to the two angles in the other triangle, then the third angles in the triangles also congruent.

$\angle R \cong \angle O$

Step 5: By the definition of congruent polygons,

If two same shape polygons have all the angles are congruent and all the corresponding sides are congruent then the polygons are congruent.

Hence $\Delta P Q R \cong \Delta M N O$ .

Therefore the missing steps are each right angles and $\angle R \cong \angle O$ .
