Answer:

$542

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential decay function is given by

$y=a(1-r)^x$

where

y is the value of the lawnmower

x is the time in years

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

$a=\$600\\r=2\%=2/100=0.02$

substitute

$y=600(1-0.02)^x$

$y=600(0.98)^x$

For x=5 years

$y=600(0.98)^5=\$542$

The green triangle is a dilation of the red triangle with a scale factor of s=1/3 and the center of dilation is at the point (4,

klasskru [66]

Given:

The scale factor is $s=\dfrac{1}{3}$ and the center of dilation is at the point (4,2).

Red is original figure and green is dilated figure.

To find:

The coordinates of point C' and point A.

Solution:

Rule of dilation: If a figure is dilated with a scale factor k and the center of dilation is at the point (a,b), then

$(x,y)\to (k(x-a)+a,k(y-b)+b)$

According to the given information, the scale factor is $\dfrac{1}{3}$ and the center of dilation is at (4,2).

$(x,y)\to (\dfrac{1}{3}(x-4)+4,\dfrac{1}{3}(y-2)+2)$ ...(i)

Let us assume the vertices of red triangle are A(m,n), B(10,14) and C(-2,11).

Using (i), we get

$C(-2,11)\to C'(\dfrac{1}{3}(-2-4)+4,\dfrac{1}{3}(11-2)+2)$

$C(-2,11)\to C'(\dfrac{1}{3}(-6)+4,\dfrac{1}{3}(9)+2)$

$C(-2,11)\to C'(-2+4,3+2)$

$C(-2,11)\to C'(2,5)$

Therefore, the coordinates of Point C' are C'(2,5).

We assumed that point A is A(m,n).

Using (i), we get

$A(m,n)\to A'(\dfrac{1}{3}(m-4)+4,\dfrac{1}{3}(n-2)+2)$

From the given figure it is clear that the image of point A is (8,4).

$A'(\dfrac{1}{3}(m-4)+4,\dfrac{1}{3}(n-2)+2)=A'(8,4)$

On comparing both sides, we get

$\dfrac{1}{3}(m-4)+4=8$

$\dfrac{1}{3}(m-4)=8-4$

$(m-4)=3(4)$

$m=12+4$

$m=16$

And,

$\dfrac{1}{3}(n-2)+2=4$

$\dfrac{1}{3}(n-2)=4-2$

$(n-2)=3(2)$

$n=6+2$

$n=8$

Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (16,8).

Answer: a) Unimodal and symmetric

b) 0.26

c) 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sample size of investors (n)= 131

True proportion of smartphone users(p) =26%

a) Since sampling distribution for the sample proportion is approximately normal when n is larger.

Normal distribution is Unimodal and symmetric.

So correct option : Unimodal and symmetric

b) mean of this sampling distribution = p = 0.26

c) standard deviation of the samplingdistribution = $\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26\times (1-0.26)}{131}}=\sqrt{0.00146870229008}$

$=0.0383236518364\approx0.038$

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If a triangle has one side that is 8

julsineya [31]

Good afternoon,

First side= 8cm
Third side= x
Second side= 2x-4

We know that the sume of the lenghts of any two sides must be greater than the third side, so:

$Second \,\,\,\,side+Third\,\,\,\,side>First\,\,\,\,side \\ 2x-4 + x >8 \\ 3x>12 \\ x>4
$

<span>Answer: Third side= x ; where: x>4 or (4,+infinity)
Second side= 2x-4 ; </span><span> where: x>4 or (4,+infinity)</span>
