To know if a dilation is an expansion ( bigger) r a contraction ( smaller) ignore the negative sign.
If the number is larger than 1, it is an expansion, if the number is smaller than 1 it is a contraction.
-4 is an expansion
2.5 is an expansion
2/3 is a contraction
-3/4 is a contraction
Answer:
The dryer would cost 318 and the washer would cost 636
Step-by-step explanation:
954 divided by 3 = 318 318x2=636 318+638=954

Answer:

The graph is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the number of metamorphic samples and "y" the number of sedimentary samples.
You know that you want to to have at most 25 samples, then:

And you want to have at least 3 times as many sedimentary samples as
metamorphic samples, then:

Therefore, the system of inequalities that model the situation is:

The y-intercept of the line
is:

And the x-intercept is:

Knowing this, you can graph the line
The y-intercept of the line
is:

And the x-intercept is:

Knowing this, you can graph the line.
Observe the graph attached, where the solution of the system of inequalities is the intersection of the regions.
The leading term is -3x^5. The end behavior of any function is the behavior that the highest powered term has as x approaches ±oo.
In this case because the highest order term is -3x^5, as x approaches -oo, y approaches +oo. And as x approaches +oo, y approaches -oo.
