Mathematics

Serjik [45]3 years ago

Answer:

The scale factor is \frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation of a point about the origin with scale factor k is defined as

P(x,y)\rightarrow P'(kx,ky)            ..... (1)

It means the scale factor is calculated as

k=\frac{\text{x coordinate of image}}{\text{x coordinate of preimage}}

The given dilation is defined as

(10,0)\rightarrow (5,0)                ..... (2)

From (1) and (2) we get,

x coordinate of image = 5

x coordinate of preimage = 10

k=\frac{5}{10}

k=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore the scale factor is \frac{1}{2}.

Scale factor is equal to 1/2, since the point went from 10 to 5

Nicholas drew a triangle with 45, 35, and 100 degree angles. Is there another triangle with the same three angles but different
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Yes, there are infinite triangles with the same three angles but different side lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

therefore

There are infinite triangles with the same three angles but different side lengths

Use Cramer's Rule to solve each system.<br> 5x – 3y = 8<br> -2x - y = 10
zlopas [31]

Answer:

-2, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

using cramer rule

5    -3    

-2   -1    

calculatiing the determinant = (5 x-1) - (-3x-2) = -5 -(6) = -5-6=-11

using cramer rule

to calculate x we change the coefficient of x with the answer (8,10)

8   -3

10   -1

we calculate determinant = (8x-1)-(-3x10) = -8-(-30) = -8+30 =22

to calculate x

22/-11= -2

to calculate y we change the coefficient of y with the answer (8,10)

5   8

-2   10

we calculate determinant = (5x10)-(8x-2) = 50 -(-16) = 50 +16=66

to calculate y

66/-11= -6

Question 3
BigorU [14]

Answer:

  30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time = distance/speed

If x represents Jane's speed along the summit then her total exploration time is ...

  12/x + 40/(x -5) = 2 . . . . . hours

Multiplying by (x)(x -5), we get ...

  12(x -5) +40(x) = 2(x)(x -5)

Dividing by 2 and subtracting the left side gives ...

  x^2 -31x +30 = 0

  (x -30)(x -1) = 0 . . . . . factor

Solutions are x = 30 and x = 1, values of x that make the factors zero. A speed of 1 mph makes no sense in this problem, so ...

Jane's speed along the summit was 30 mph.
