Answer:

Triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The general rule for the dilation about the origin with a factor of k is

(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)

You are given two triangles ABC and A'B'C'.

In triangle ABC:

  • A(2,4)
  • B(4,0)
  • C(6,6)

From the diagram, in triangle A'B'C':

  • A'(3,6)
  • B'(6,0)
  • C'(9,9)

As you can see

  • A(2,4)\rightarrow A'\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot 2,\ \dfrac{3}{2}\cdot 4\right)=A'(3,6)
  • B(4,0)\rightarrow B'\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot 4,\ \dfrac{3}{2}\cdot 0\right)=B'(6,0)
  • C(6,6)\rightarrow C'\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot 6,\ \dfrac{3}{2}\cdot 6\right)=C'(9,9)

So, triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of \dfrac{3}{2}=1.5

Answer:

<h2>Triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 1.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The vertices of the original triangle are A(2,4), B(4,0) and C(6,6).

According to the graph, the vertices of the dilated triangle are A'(3,6), B'(6,0) and C'(9,9).

Notice that the dilation factor is a quotient between a dilated coordinate and an original coordinate. If we do this division

\frac{3}{2}=1.5\\\frac{6}{4}=1.5\\ \frac{9}{6}=1.5

Therefore, the dilation factor is 1.5.

The right answer is the second choice.

Find two numbers such that the sum of their squares is 100. The square of the larger number is equal to the sum of the product o
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y are two  numbers

According to question

x^2+y^2=100....(1)

Suppose x is larger than y

x^2=x(4y+8x)

x=4y+8x

x-8x=4y

-7x=4y

y=-\frac{7}{4}x

Substitute the value of y

x^2+(-\frac{7}{4}x)^2=100

x^2+\frac{49}{16}x^2=100

\frac{16x^2+49x^2}{16}=100

\frac{65}{16}x^2=100

x^2=\frac{16\times 100}{65}

x=\sqrt{\frac{1600}{65}}=\frac{40}{\sqrt{65}}=\frac{40}{65}\sqrt{65}=\frac{8}{13}\sqrt{65}

y=-\frac{7}{4}\times \frac{8}{13}\sqrt{65}=-\frac{14}{13}\sqrt{65}

Leni [432]
Hello there!

I’m not sure if they want me to add the answers together or just do them separately.

Exponents
(-2)^2=(-2)(-2)=4
(7/6)^2=7/6(7/6)=49/36

I hope this helps!
Best wishes.

Find the critical value zα/2 that corresponds to a 98% confidence level.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A critical value is the point on the scale of the test statistic (z test in this case) outside which we reject the null hypothesis, and is taken from the level of significance of the test. The critical values can be obtained from the standard distribution tables for z and for this case, it is equivalent to:

critical value zα/2 at 98% confidence level = 2.326

Answer: 2.326
