Kurt enlarges a 24 cm by 30 cm photo to a 60 cm by 75 cm photo. What is the scale factor of the enlargement?

1 answer:

8 0

One scale factor equation is y=cx
y is the new factor (in this case, 60 or 75)
c is the scale factor (in this case, unknown)
x is the old factor (in this case, 24 or 30)
so: plug in the values
60=c(24) divide both sides by 24
c=2.5

you can check again with the other numbers
75=c(30) divide both sides by 30.
c= 2.5

your scale factor is 2.5

Point slope form for (2,9) as the point and -3 as the slope

Brut [27]

Answer:

y - 9 = - 3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 3 and (a, b) = (2, 9), thus

y - 9 = - 3(x - 2) ← in point- slope form

In a scale drawing, a building has a length of 15 cm. The actual length of the building is 37.5 feet. Whats the scale of the dra

Feliz [49]

Answer:

$\frac{15}{37.5}\ \frac{cm}{ft}$

$1.31:100$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the drawing is equal to divide the length of a building in the scale drawing by the actual length of a building

$\frac{15}{37.5}\ \frac{cm}{ft}$

That means

15 cm in the drawing represent 37.5 ft in the actual

Remember that

$1\ ft=30.48\ cm$

Convert 15 cm to ft

divide by 30.48

$15\ cm=15/30.48\ ft$

substitute

$\frac{15}{37.5}\ \frac{cm}{ft}=\frac{(15/30.48)}{37.5}=\frac{0.0131}{1}$

$1.31:100$

That means

1.31 units in the drawing represent 100 units in the actual

Jerald jumped from a bungee tower. If the equation that models his height, in feet, is h = –16t2 + 729, where t is the time in s

Snezhnost [94]

Answer. First option: t > 6.25

Solution:

Height (in feet): h=-16t^2+729

For which interval of time is h less than 104 feet above the ground?

h < 104

Replacing h for -16t^2+729

-16t^2+729 < 104

Solving for h: Subtracting 729 both sides of the inequality:

-16t^2+729-729 < 104-729

-16t^2 < -625

Multiplying the inequality by -1:

(-1)(-16t^2 < -625)

16t^2 > 625

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 16:

16t^2/16 > 625/16

t^2 > 39.0625

Replacing t^2 by [ Absolute value (t) ]^2:

[ Absolute value (t) ]^2 > 39.0625

Square root both sides of the inequality:

sqrt { [ Absolute value (t) ]^2 } > sqrt (39.0625)

Absolute value (t) > 6.25

t < -6.25 or t > 6.25, but t can not be negative, then the solution is:

t > 6.25
