Answer:

AA Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

step 1

Verify the proportion of the corresponding sides

$\frac{PS}{PQ}=\frac{PT}{PR}$

substitute

$\frac{45}{20}=\frac{36}{16}$

$2.25=2.25$ ----> is true

Corresponding sides are proportional

Triangle PQR is similar to Triangle PST

That means

Corresponding angles must be congruent

side QR is parallel side ST

and

$m\angle PQR=m\angle PST$ ----> by corresponding angles

$m\angle PRQ=m\angle PTS$ --> by corresponding angles

PQR is similar to PST by AA Similarity Postulate

In 2003 there were 1078 JC Penney stores and in 2007 there were 1067 stores.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

a) $f(s)=\frac{-11}{3}s+\frac{3245}{3}$ $f(1)=1078 stores$ b) 2012, 1049 stores. 2014, 1041 stores. c) Yes it is a downsizing company.

Step-by-step explanation:

s=year | f(s) = number of stores per year

1 | 1078

4| 1067

$m=\frac{1067-1078}{4-1}\Rightarrow m=\frac{-11}{3}\\1078=-\frac{11}{3}*1+b\Rightarrow b=\frac{3245}{3}\\f(s)=\frac{-11}{3}s+\frac{3245}{3}$

s=1 in 2003

$s=1 year =2003\\ Testing\\f(1)=\frac{-11}{3}(1)+\frac{3245}{3}=\frac{3234}{3}=1078\\ f(1)=1078$

b) For 2012, s=9. For 2014, s=11

$\\f(s)=\frac{-11}{3}s+\frac{3245}{3}\\ \\f(9)=\frac{-11}{3}(9)+\frac{3245}{3}\cong1049\\\\f(11)=\frac{-11}{3}(11)+\frac{3245}{3}\cong=1041$

c) In deed. Since the function shows a decreasing amount of JC Penney stores. Maybe this is a downsizing from this company, progressively closing some stores.

Find the linearization L(x) of the function at a. <br> f(x) = x3/4, a = 81

Zolol [24]

Please note that your x^3/4 is ambiguous. Did you mean (x^3) divided by 4
or did you mean x to the power (3/4)? I will assume you meant the first, not the second. Please use the "^" symbol to denote exponentiation.

If we have a function f(x) and its derivative f'(x), and a particular x value (c) at which to begin, then the linearization of the function f(x) is

f(x) approx. equal to [f '(c)]x + f(c)].

Here a = c = 81.

Thus, the linearization of the given function at a = c = 81 is

f(x) (approx. equal to) 3(81^2)/4 + [81^3]/4

Note that f '(c) is the slope of the line and is equal to (3/4)(81^2), and f(c) is the function value at x=c, or (81^3)/4.

What is the linearization of f(x) = (x^3)/4, if c = a = 81?

It will be f(x) (approx. equal to)
