The correct answer is n²+3.

Explanation:

We find the first differences between terms:

7-4=3; 12-7=5; 19-12=7; 28-19=9.

Since these are different, this is not linear.

We now find the second differences:

5-3=2; 7-5=2; 9-7=2.

Since these are the same, this sequence is quadratic.

We use (1/2a)n², where a is the second difference:

(1/2*2)n²=1n².

We now use the term number of each term for n:

4 is the 1st term; 1*1²=1.

7 is the 2nd term; 1*2²=4.

12 is the 3rd term; 1*3²=9.

19 is the 4th term; 1*4²=16.

28 is the 5th term: 1*5²=25.

Now we find the difference between the actual terms of the sequence and the numbers we just found:

4-1=3; 7-4=3; 12-9=3; 19-16=3; 28-25=3.

Since this is constant, the sequence is in the form (1/2a)n²+d;

in our case, 1n²+d, and since d=3, 1n²+3.

The coordinates of triangle A′B′C′ is A′(2, 1), B′(1, 2), C′(3, 2)

On plotting the coordinates on the graph, it is found :

Option A is the coordinates of a straight line.

Option C is the coordinates of a bigger triangle

Option D has a different shape.

Only option B fulfills the required condition of similar shape and scale factor of 0.5 .

Scale factor = 0.5

What are the coordinates?

A coordinate system in geometry is a system that uses one or more numbers, or coordinates, to determine the position of points or other geometric elements on a manifold such as Euclidean space.
Coordinates are numerical distances or angles that uniquely identify points on two-dimensional (2D) surfaces or in three-dimensional (3D) space ( 3D ). Mathematicians, scientists, and engineers use a variety of coordinate schemes.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$195

Step-by-step explanation:

15a + 12c

5 adults and 10 children means a = 5 and c = 10

15a + 12c = 15(5) + 12(10) = 75 + 120 = 195

Please help! if abcd is dilated by a factor of 3, the coordinate of b would be

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(-6, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of B to start with is

(-2, 2)

To dilate this by a factor of 3....

-2 * 3 = -6

2 * 3 = 6

The new coordinates of B' would be

(-6, 6)

A few things to know:

- The number 3 is called a "scale factor"

- Dilation means we are multiplying all the (X, Y)'s by the scale factor

- If the scale factor is greater than 1, the size of the shape overall increases

- If the scale factor is less than 1, the size of the shape overall decreases

- If the scale factor is negative, the shape size stays the same. The shape just rotates 180 degrees and moves to the opposite quadrant.

A professor at a local university noted that the exam grades of her students were normally distributed with a mean of 73 and a s

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The minimum score of those who received C's is 67.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 73, \sigma = 11$
