A line segment has endpoints P (3, 6) and Q (12, 18) and is dilated so that its new endpoints are P’ (2, 4) and Q’ (8, 12). What

is the scale factor? If the length of PQ is 15, what is the length of P’Q’?

Answer:

Scale Factor ≈ 0.67

P'Q' Length = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor, a relationship must be found between the original points, and the dilated points. To do this, simply divide the new points by the old points.

P to P' : \frac{2}{3}=0.6667 AND \frac{4}{6}=0.6667

Q to Q' : \frac{8}{12}=0.6667 AND \frac{12}{18}=0.6667

Therefore, the scale factor is 0.6667 ≈ 0.67

The length of P'Q' can be calculated with the distance formula:

d^{2}=(y_{1}-y_{2} )^{2} +(x_{1}-x_{2} )^{2} \\d^{2} =(4-12)^{2} + (2-8)^{2} \\d^{2} =(-8)^{2} +(-6)^{2} \\d^{2} =64+36\\d=\sqrt{100} =10

Alternatively, you could multiply the length of PQ with the scale factor to find P'Q':

15*0.6667=10

It should be 14, because 8 - 2 = 6 and 12 - 4 = 8

Estimate 23,945 + 46,718 by rounding to the highest place value.
kolbaska11 [484]
The highest place value is in the ten thousand for both of these numbers. Let's round the two numbers first, and then we will add them. Let's round 23,945. So, we need to round to the ten thousand place, so we look at the number behind it (3) and act accordingly.
Remember:
5 or more? Raise the Score
4 or less? Let it Rest
We are looking at the bolded number: 23,945. This number is 4 or less, so we let it rest. So, the new rounded number is 20,000. 
Now let's look at 46,718. So, we need to round to the ten thousand place, so we look at the number behind it (6) and act accordingly. Look at the bolded number: 46,718. This number is 5 or more, so we raise the score. The new rounded number becomes 50,000.
Now, all you have to do is add 20,000+50,000, which is 70,000. Hope this helped!

After a rotation, A(-3,4) maps to A/4, 3), B(4.-5) maps to BY-5,-4), and C(1,6) maps to C(6.-1). Which rule
sineoko [7]

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a rotation about the origin of 270°

a point (x, y ) → (y, - x ) , then

A (- 3, 4 ) → (4, - 3 )

B (4, - 5 ) → (- 5, - 4 )

C (1, 6 ) → (6, - 1 )

How do I solve 20? Thanks
Gnom [1K]
20)

using
<span>a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)(a^2 − ab + b^2)
</span>so
w^3 + 125z^3
= w^3 +(5z)^3
= (w + 5z)(w^2 - 5wz + 25z^2)

hope it helps

Answer and how to solve this
nata0808 [166]

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says x = something, that basically means to replace the x with whatever it says x equals.

x = 0. Equation /. 3 x 0 = 0 + 1 = 1. Y = 1

x = -1. Equation/. 3 x -1 = -3 + 1 = -2. Y = -2

x = 2. Equation/. 3 x 2 = 6 + 1 = 7. Y = 7

Hope this helps!! (:

Matrix A has order 4 x 8, Matrix B has order 4 x 16.
Scorpion4ik [409]
Matrix A order is 4x8.
Matrix B order is 4x16.
AB cannot result because an (m x n) can only be multiplied by an (n x p) matrix and orders don't match the requirements.
BA has the same negative result.
