Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate percentages, start by writing the number you want to turn into a percentage over the total value so you end up with a fraction. Then, turn the fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom number. Finally, multiply the decimal by 100 to find the percentage.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following functions would best model the situation above?

amid [387]

Usually bacteria expansion is modeled with exponential function.
Absolute value is not the correct answer since it models linear growth.
Logarithmic is not the correct answer since it has an asymptote in the direction of the x axis.
I will answer to this question "Polynomial" since it is likely to represent bacteria growth.

Parallelogram MNPQ was dilated to create parallelogram M'N'P'Q'. On a coordinate plane, 2 parallelograms are shown. Parallelogra

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statements are true about the parallelograms? Check all that apply.

The length of side MN is 2 units.

The length of side M'N' is 5 units.

The image is smaller than the pre-image.

Sides MQ and M'Q' both have the same slope, 1.

The scale factor is 2/5

a) The length of side MN is determined using the formula:

$|MN|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(-2-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{2^2}=2\\ \\ |MN|=2$

The first option is correct

b) The length of side M'N' is determined using the formula:

$|M'N'|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(10-5)^2+(-5-(-5))^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=2\\ \\ |M'N'|=5$

The second option is correct

c) From the coordinates of parallelogram MNPQ and M'N'P'Q', we can see that parallelogram MNPQ is dilated by a factor of 5/2 to produce parallelogram M'N'P'Q' , hence parallelogram M'N'P'Q' is bigger that parallelogram MNPQ. This means that The image is bigger than the pre-image.

The third option is wrong

d) The slopes are given as:

$Slope\ of\ MQ=\frac{Change\ in\ y}{Change\ in\ x}=\frac{1-2}{-3-(-2)} =1\\ \\Slope\ of\ M'Q'=\frac{Change\ in\ y}{Change\ in\ x}=\frac{3-5}{-7-(-5)} =1\\$

Option four is correct

e) From the coordinates of parallelogram MNPQ and M'N'P'Q', we can see that parallelogram MNPQ is dilated by a factor of 5/2 to produce parallelogram M'N'P'Q', hence the scale factor is 5/2

Option 5 is wrong

VashaNatasha [74]

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 7×2 = 14 to eliminate the denominators of those fractions:

$\dfrac{\dfrac37}{\dfrac{7\sqrt{10}}2}\times\dfrac{14}{14}=\dfrac{3\times2}{7\sqrt{10}\times7}=\dfrac6{49\sqrt{10}}$

Rationalize the denominator by multiplying both numerator and denominator by √10:

$\dfrac6{49\sqrt{10}}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{10}}=\dfrac{6\sqrt{10}}{49(\sqrt{10})^2}=\dfrac{6\sqrt{10}}{49\times10}=\dfrac{6\sqrt{10}}{490}$

Lastly, cancel the common factor of 2 in both the numerator and denominator (which comes from 6 = 2×3 and 490 = 2×245):

$\dfrac{6\sqrt{10}}{490}=\dfrac{3\sqrt{10}}{245}}$
