<h2>Answer:</h2>

The scale factor is:

1/2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that the scale factor of a dilation is the ratio of the length of the dilated i.e. transformed figure to the corresponding lengths of the original figure.

Here in the original triangle i.e. ΔABC the length of the side AC is: AC=18 units

and the corresponding side of the dilated triangle i.e. ΔA'B'C' is: A'C'= 9 units

Hence, the scale factor is given by:

$\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{Length of A'C'}}{\text{Length of AC}}\\\\i.e.\\\\\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{9}{18}\\\\\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Evaluate the function for x = 2 and x = 6 f(x) = -(x - 2)

12345 [234]

Answer:

f(2) = 0 and f(6) = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find f(x) when x = 2

Plug in 2 as x in the function:

f(x) = -(x - 2)

f(2) = -(2 - 2)

f(2) = -(0)

f(2) = 0

Next, find f(x) when x = 6. Plug in 6 as x in the function:

f(x) = -(x - 2)

f(6) = -(6 - 2)

f(6) = -(4)

f(6) = -4

So, f(2) = 0 and f(6) = -4

Given a quadratic function in vertex form:

Alja [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical stretch takes place when $a\cdot f(x)$ given that $|a| > 1$

A vertical compression takes place when $a\cdot f(x)$ given that $0 < |a| < 1$

A vertical stretch is different than a horizontal compression:

In a vertical stretch, the input stays the same, but the output is multiplied by the scale factor
In a horizontal compression, the output stays the same, but the input is multiplied by the scale factor

A reflection across the x-axis means that the output, our y-variable, is the opposite sign. This means that all values of $a$ must be negative such that $a\cdot f(x)$ as mentioned in parts A and B. Also, in part C, since our scale factor is negative, the output is the only one being multiplied by the scale factor.

elect the proper interpretation of a confidence interval for a mean at a confidence level of C % . a range of values produced by

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

a range of values such that the probability is C % that a rndomly selected data value is in that range

Step-by-step explanation:

complete question is:

Select the proper interpretation of a confidence interval for a mean at a confidence level of C % .

a range of values produced by a method such that C % of confidence intervals produced the same way contain the sample mean

a range of values such that the probability is C % that a randomly selected data value is in that range

a range of values that contains C % of the sample data in a very large number of samples of the same size

a range of values constructed using a procedure that will develop a range that contains the population mean C % of the time

a range of values such that the probability is C % that the population mean is in that range
