Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

A is on the line QA', which is 1.25+1.25 = 2.50 units long*. Thus the scale factor is ...

  QA'/QA = 2.50/1.25 = 2

The scale factor is 2.

_____

* There are two points on the line QA that are 1.25 units from A. One of them is point Q. If A' is coincident with Q, then the scale factor is 0, and line segment A'B' is the single point Q. We don't believe that is intended to be the case, so we assume that point A' is farther along AQ, hence 2.5 units from Q.

A homeowner leans a ladder against his house so that the top of the ladder makes a 31 degree angle with the house. What angle do
Lesechka [4]
If you put an imaginary line from the base of the ladder to the wall it would from a right angled triangle. The internal angles of a triangle all add up to 180degrees. With a right angled triangle, we know for sure one angle is going to be 90 degrees. One angle as you said is 31 degrees so you just add 31 and 90 which is equal to 121 then subtract it by that. SO:
180-(31+90)
180-121=59 degrees
or even easier
90-31= 59

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of sqrt 4x + 41 = x+5
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{4x+41}=x+5

on squaring both sides

4x+41=(x+5)^2\\\\4x+41=x^2+10x+25\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\\\\x^2+8x-2x-16=0\\\\x(x+8)-2(x+8)=0\\\\(x-2)(x+8)=0

either x-2=0  or  x+8=0

either x=2 or x=-8

Putting x=2 in original equation, we get

\sqrt{4\times 2+41}=2+5

7=7 hence, it is not an extraneous solution

Putting x=-8 in original equation

\sqrt{4\times (-8)+41}=-8+5

i.e. 3=-3

Hence, x=-8 is an extraneous solution (since it doesn't satisfy the original equation)
