Answer:

The scale factor for the dilation is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Rectangle ABCD is dilated to form the rectangle A'B'C'D'.

To find the scale factor, we will find the ratio of the lengths of the rectangle.

We see that,

A= (1,5) and B= (4,5). So, the length of side AB = 4-1 = 3

A'= (3,15) and B'= (12,15). So, the length of side A'B' = 12-3 = 9

So, the ratio of the sides AB : A'B' = 3 : 9 = 1 : 3.

Hence, we get that,

Length of side A'B' is 3 times the length of side AB.

This relation can be verified for other sides also.

Thus, the scale factor for the dilation is 3.

Which formula shows a joint variation?

djyliett [7]

The answer is the first option: I, II and III.

The explanation is shown below:

1. By definition, there is a joint variation when a variable depends on two or more different variables. Therefore, you can express it as following:

$y=kxz$

Where $x,y$ and $z$ are the variables and $k$ is the constant of proportionality.

As you can see, $y$ is directly proportional to $x$ and $z$ .

2. Keeping the information above, you have:

I) $V=lwh$ ( $V$ varies jointly with $l$ , $w$ and $h$ .

II) $V=\frac{1}{3}r^{2}h\pi$ (If $\frac{\pi}{3}$ is the constant of proportionality, $V$ varies jointly with $r^{2}$ and $h$ ).

III) $V=Bh$ ( $V$ varies jointly with $B$ and $h$ .

If (2) - 2x - 6, which of these is the inverse of x)?

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x+6.

since it is inverse the gradient has to be the opposite of the base equation : y =2x-6.

An artist mixes 25 ounce of blue paint with 115 ounce of green paint. Using the same ratio, how many ounces of green paint shoul

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Ounces of green paint needed = 13.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue paint : green paint = 25 : 115

how many ounces of green paint should she mix with 3 ounces of blue paint?

Let

Ounces of green paint needed = x

Blue paint : green paint = 3 : x

Equate both ratios

25 : 115 = 3 : x

25/115 = 3/x

25 * x = 115 * 3

25x = 345

x = 345/25

x = 13.8 ounces

Ounces of green paint needed = 13.8

Find the value of x cubed minus 2x squared minus 7x + 5 of x=1/2-√3

Svetach [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -7x +5 and x=1/(2-√3), we have ...

f(x) = ((x -2)x -7)x +5

and ...

x = 1/(2-√3) = (2+√3)/(2^2 -3) = 2+√3

Then ...

f(2+√3) = ((2 +√3 -2)(2 +√3) -7)(2 +√3) +5

= (3+2√3 -7)(2+√3) +5

= 2(√3 -2)(√3 +2) +5 = 2(3 -4) +5 = -2 +5

f(1/(2 -√3)) = 3

_____

If you really mean x = (1/2) -√3, then f(x) = (42√3 -3)/8.
