Answer:

$106.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 100 and multiply it by 6.5%. This will give us 6.5, the amount of tax to pay. Then add 100 to 6.5 giving you the total of $106.50.

Graph and label the image of the figure below after a dilation by a factor of 1/2.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

M' (1.5, -1), F' (2, -1), L' (0.5 -2.5), W' (2.5, -2.5)

see graph below

Explanation:

Given:

The image of a quadrilateral on a coordinate plane

To find:

The coordinates of the new image after dilation of 1/2 have been applied to the original image.

Then graph the coordinates

First, we need to state the coordinates of the original image:

M = (3, -2)

F = (4, -2)

L = (1, -5)

W = (5, -5)

Next, we will apply a scale factor of 1/2:

$\begin{gathered} Dilation\text{ rule:} \\ (x,\text{ y\rparen}\rightarrow(kx,\text{ ky\rparen} \\ where\text{ k = scale factor} \\ \\ scale\text{ factor = 1/2} \\ M^{\prime}\text{ = \lparen}\frac{1}{2}(3),\text{ }\frac{1}{2}(-2)) \\ M^{\prime}\text{ = \lparen}\frac{3}{2},\text{ -1\rparen} \\ \\ F\text{ = \lparen}\frac{1}{2}(4),\text{ }\frac{1}{2}(-2)) \\ F^{\prime}\text{ = \lparen2, -1\rparen} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} L\text{ = \lparen}\frac{1}{2}(1),\text{ }\frac{1}{2}(-5)) \\ L^{\prime}\text{ = \lparen}\frac{1}{2},\text{ }\frac{-5}{2}) \\ \\ W\text{ = \lparen}\frac{1}{2}(5),\text{ }\frac{1}{2}(-5)) \\ W^{\prime}\text{ = \lparen}\frac{5}{2},\text{ }\frac{-5}{2}) \end{gathered}$

The new coordinates:

M' (3/2, -1), F' (2, -1), L' (1/2, -5/2), W' (5/2, -5/2)

M' (1.5, -1), F' (2, -1), L' (0.5 -2.5), W' (2.5, -2.5)

Plotting the coordinates:

What is the vertex of a parabola having the equation y = –2(x – 5)2 + 7? Which direction does the parabola open?

Vika [28.1K]

$y = -2(x-5)^2 + 7$

That's vertex form for a parabola $y=a(x-p)^2+q$ and we read off vertex (p,q) as

Answer: Vertex (5,7)

The negative a tells us this is a downward opening parabola (upside down from the usual $y=x^2$ . I remember CUP - Concave Up Positive; here a is negative so not a cup, instead concave down. The same rule applies to second derivatives in calculus so memorize it now and use it later.
