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

The y-intercept of g(x) in g(x) = 3x - 2 is (0,-2) (0,0) (2/3,0)
Dennis_Churaev [7]
For any y-intercept, the x-coordinate is zero. This is something to bear in mind to start with.

Now to find the y-intercept, find g(0) = -2.

Therefore the answer is (0,-2)

P(x)= 3x^3-5x^2-14x-4
nexus9112 [7]
   
\displaystyle\\
P(x)=3x^3-5x^2-14x-4\\\\
D_{-4}=\{-4;~-2;~\underline{\bf -1};~1;~2;~4\}\\\\
\text{We observe that } \frac{-1}{3} \text{ is a solution of the equation:}\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=0\\\\


\displaystyle\\
\text{Verification}\\\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=\\\\
=3\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)^3-5\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)^2-14\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)-4=\\\\
=-\frac{1}{9}-\frac{5}{9}+\frac{14}{3}-4=\\\\
=-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{14}{3}-4=\\\\
=-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{42}{9}- \frac{4\times 9}{9}=\\\\
 =-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{42}{9}- \frac{36}{9}= \frac{42-6-36}{9}=\frac{42-42}{9}=\frac{0}{9}=0\\\\
\Longrightarrow~~~P(x)~\vdots~\Big(x+ \frac{1}{3}\Big)\\\\
\Longrightarrow~~~P(x)~\vdots~(3x+1)


\displaystyle\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=0\\
~~~~~-5x^2 = x^2 - 6x^2\\
~~~~~-14x =-2x-12x \\
3x^3+x^2 - 6x^2-2x-12x-4=0\\
x^2(3x+1)-2x(3x+1) -4(3x+1)=0\\
(3x+1)(x^2-2x -4)=0\\\\
\text{Solve: } x^2-2x -4=0\\\\
x_{12}= \frac{-b\pm  \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\\\\=\frac{2\pm  \sqrt{4+16}}{2}=\frac{2\pm  \sqrt{20}}{2}=\frac{2\pm  2\sqrt{5}}{2}=1\pm\sqrt{5}\\\\
x_1 =1+\sqrt{5}\\
x_2 =1-\sqrt{5}\\
\Longrightarrow P(x)= 3x^3-5x^2-14x-4 =\boxed{(3x+1)(x-1-\sqrt{5})(x-1+\sqrt{5})}

The small rectangle was enlarged to create the big rectangle.
kow [346]

Answer: the missing measure on the big rectangle is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the small rectangle was enlarged to create the big rectangle, it means that they are similar. This also means that the dimensions of the larger rectangle different form the dimensions of the smaller rectangle by a constant ratio or factor.

The smaller rectangle has a length of 12 feet and width of 2 feet. The larger rectangle has a length of x feet and width of 5 feet. This means that

x/12 = 5/2

Cross multiplying, it becomes

2x = 12 × 5 = 60

x = 60/2 = 30
