PQR has vertices at P(2, 4), Q(3, 8) and R(5, 4). A similarity transformation maps PQR to ABC, whose vertices are A(2, 4), B(5.5

, 18), and C(12.5, 4). What is the scale factor of the dilation in the similarity transformation?

Use Pythagorean Theorem to calculate length of sides 

PQ = √(1^2 + 4^2) = √(17) 
QR = √(2^2 + 4^2) = √(20) 
RP = √(3^2 + 0^2) = √(9) 

AB = √(3.5^2 + 14^2) = √(208.25) 
BC = √(7^2 + 14^2) = √(245) 
CA = √(10.5^2 + 0^2) = √(110.25) 

A similarity transformation will maintain the relationship of sides: the smallest side of one triangle should correspond to the shortest side of the other triangle (and so on). 

Ratio of lengths (transformed/original) 

shortest with shortest 
CA/RP = √(110.25)/√(9) = 10.5/3 = 3.5 
middle 
AB/PQ = √(208.25)/√(17) = √(208.25/17) = √(12.25) = 3.5

Determine the domain and range of the graph.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Domain [-4,4]

Range [-2,2]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the x-values of the graph and the range in the y-values. When writing domain and range it should be from least to greatest. So to find the domain find the lowest x-value on the graph and then the highest. Next, do the same for y-values. Finally, either surround each value with parentheses or bracket, the difference is that brackets mean that value is included, while parentheses mean that value is not actually on the graph.

In this case, the lowest x-value is -4 and the highest is 4, both values are included as signified by the closed circles, therefore the domain is [-4,4]. The lowest y value is -2 and the highest is 2, both are included, therefore the range is [-2,2].

How do you express sin x + cos x in terms of sine only?
frez [133]

Answer:

\sin x + \sqrt{1-\sin^2x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: sin x + cos x

To change the given trigonometry expression in term of sine only.

Trigonometry identity:-

  • \sin^2x+\cos^2x=1
  • \cos x=\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}

Expression: \sin x+\cos x

We get rid of cos x from expression and write as sine form.

Expression: \sin x + \sqrt{1-\sin^2x}        \because \cos x=\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}

Hence, The final expression is only sine function.
