Triangle ABC has vertices A(5, 3) , B(3, 7) , and C(1, 4) . Triangle ABC is dilated, and the vertices of the image are A′(7.5, 4

.5) , B′(4.5, 10.5) , and C′(1.5, 6) . The center of dilation is the origin.
What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Hello,

To find the scale factor, we have to look at what's going on in the problem. 

In point A, we are converting from (5, 3) to (7.5, 4.5).

We can write and solve equation to find the change (scale factor)

5x = 7.5  and 3x = 4.5

If you solve either equation, you will find the scale factor is 1.5.

Good luck,

A function is given: f (x) = 2x + 3<br> What is the value of f(-2)?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

f(-2) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 is x, so replace x as -2 into the equation

f (-2) = 2(-2) + 3

f (-2) = -4 + 3

f (-2) = -1

Which expressions simplify to a rational answer? Select each correct answer. 29√⋅4√ 3√⋅16−−√ 73⋅−√3√ 5√⋅5√
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expressions whose simplified form is a rational number.

Rational number: If a number is defined in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0,2, 4.3 etc.

Irrational number: If a number can not defined in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

First expression is

2\sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{4}=2(3)\cdot (2)\Rightarrow 6\cdot 2=12

12 is a rational number.

Second expression is

\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{16}=\sqrt{3}\cdot 4\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}

4\sqrt{3} is an irrational number.

Third expression is

7\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow 7\cdot 3=21

21 is a rational number.

Fourth expression is

\sqrt{5}\cdot \sqrt{5}=5

5 is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

What is the vertex form of y=-2x2+4x + 3?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

y=-2(x-1)^2+5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=-2x^2+4x+3

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

step 1

Factor -2

y=-2(x^2-2x)+3

step 2

Complete the square

y=-2(x^2-2x+1)+3+2

y=-2(x^2-2x+1)+5

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

y=-2(x-1)^2+5 ----> equation in vertex form

The vertex is the point (1,5)
