4:12=1:3
7:21=1:3
18:54=1:3
ratios corresponding edges are the same (scale factor is the same) so these 2 figures are similar,
Answer yes, 1:3

Yes they are similar and their scale factor is 1:3

7 * 3 = 21
4 * 3 = 12
18 * 3 = 54

Paulina swims 5 miles down a creek with a current for 2 hours. It takes her 4

Westkost [7]

Answer: her swimming speed = 1.875 mph

Speed of current = 0.625 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her swimming speed.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

Paulina swims 5 miles down a creek with a current for 2 hours. Since this is faster, it means that she swam with the current. Her total speed would be (x + y) mph

Distance = speed × time

Therefore,

5 = 2(x + y)

dividing both sides by 2, it becomes

2.5 = x + y- - - - - - -1

It takes her 4 hours to swim the same 5 miles back to her original destination against the

same current. It means that her total speed was (x - y) mph

Distance covered would be

5 = 4(x - y)

Dividing both sides by 4, it becomes

1.25 = x - y- - - - - - - 2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

3.75 = 2x

x = 3.75/2

x = 1.875

Substituting x = 1.875 into equation 1, it becomes

2.5 = 1.875 + y

y = 2.5 - 1.875

y = 0.625

Analyze the polynomial function

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given function

$f(x)=x^2(x-2)(x-2)$

a.From given we can see that

When x approaches to infinity then y also approaches infinity.

When x approaches-infinity then y also approaches infinity.

b.To find the x-intercept

Substitute y=0

$x^2(x-2)(x+2)=0$

$x=0$

$x-2=0$

x=2

$x+2=0$

$x=-2$

x-intercept:(0,0),(2,0),(-2,0)

To find the y-intercept

Substitute x=0

$y=0$

y-intercept:(0,0)
