Answer:

1.778 times more or 16/9 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''

- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"

Find:

Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?

Solution:

- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:

                                           LGP ∝ A

- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:

                                           A ∝ D^2

- Hence,                              LGP ∝ D^2

- Now compare the two diameters given:

                                           LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2

                                           LGP ∝ (D_2)^2

- Take a ratio of both:

                           LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2

- Plug in the values:

                               LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2

- Compute:             LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

f of 3 is the same thing of f of x which is y. The questions is saying if x is equal to 3, then what is y. x is represented by domain and y is represented by range. If you find x which is 3 in the domain, then the arrow points to negative 1 in the range circle.

What are the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle with vertices J(−4, 2) , K(2, 4) , and L(0, −2) ?
Kryger [21]
Given the coordinates of the three vertices of a triangle ABC, 
the centroid coordinates are (x1+x2+x3)/3, (y1+y2+y3)/3
<span>so (-4+2+0)/3=-2/3, ]2+4+(-2)]/3=4/3
so the coordinates are (-2/3, 4/3)</span>

-2/3-5/6= write in simplest form
sleet_krkn [62]
-2/3 - 5/6 

We need common denominators so, since 3 can go into 6, we only need to multiply the first fraction by 2.

= -2 x 2 / 3x2  -  5/6 
= -4 / 6 - 5/6 
 
We only subtract the numbers that are in the numerators, 

= -4-5 / 6 
= -9/6 

Both nine and six are divisible by 3, so to put into lowest terms... 

=-9÷3 / 6÷3
= -3/2  <--- Final Answer
