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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function representing final amount with compound interest compounded continuously,

A=Pe^{rt}

Here, A = Final amount

P = principal amount

r = Rate of interest

t = Duration of investment

For P = $9600

r = 6%

A = 2 × 9600 = $19200

By substituting these values in the formula,

19200=9600(e)^{0.06\times t}

2=e^{0.06t}

ln(2)=ln(e^{0.06t})

ln(2) = 0.06t

t = \frac{0.693147}{0.06}

t = 11.55245

t ≈ 11.5525 years

Any amount will get doubled (with the same rate of interest and duration of investment) in the same time.

Therefore, $960000 will get doubled in 11.5525 years.

If you are examining a triangle with given measurements for one leg and the hypotenuse, how will you determine the measure of th
horrorfan [7]
You will use a2+b2=c2 (squared).The leg will represent the a2 or either b2 and the hypotenuse will be the c2.After filling in the variables you will then subtract the a2 which is the leg from the c2 which is the hypotenuse.And then you will factor it or square root it.If you square root it and it’s not a feasible answer then use the Christmas tree or birthday cake method to factor the answer and then you’ll have the value of b2 which is the unknown leg.
