Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and ratios. Put the small triangle side over the large triangle side.
9cm 3x -20
---------- = ---------------- We need to add the sides to get to the larger triangle
72+9 cm 3x-20 + 56
We can cross multiply to solve
9 * (3x-20+56) = (72+9) * (3x-20)
Simplify
9*(3x+36) = 81*(3x-20)
Distribute
27x +324 = 243x -1620
Subtract 27x from each side
27x-27x +324 = 243x-27x -1620
324 = 216x-1620
Add 1620 to each side
324+1620 = 216x
1944 = 216x
Divide each side by 216
1944/216 = 216x/216
9=x
1 and 1/2 is the scale factor
So, I'm going to break it down to help you understand it a bit more.
If it starts at (0,-2) and crosses through (1,0) that means it moved to the right once and up twice. Which means, that the slope will be 2. If it were one it would be to the right 1 up one, if it were 4 it would be to the right 1 up 4, and finally if it were 1/2 it would be to the right 2 up 1.
So, your answer is C. or 2.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x^5 - 5 x^4 y + 10 x^3 y^2 - 10 x^2 y^3 + 5 x y^4 - y^5
Discussion:
Pascal's triangle looks like this (up to 6 rows)
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
The last row contains the constant multipliers in the equation. The terms in the expansion alternate in sign.
Thank you,
