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:

A quarter circle is one fourth of a circle. To find the area of a quarter circle, find the area of the whole circle by using the formula A = pi * r^2 and then divide by 4. To find the perimeter of the quarter circle, find the circumference of the whole circle, divide by 4, and then add the radius twice.

Which function has a range of<br><br> f(x)≥7
amid [387]

Answer:

While it's true that quadratic functions have no domain restrictions, the range is restricted because x2 ≥ 0. The correct answer is: The domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers f(x) such that f(x) ≥ 7.

If x+1/x=7,find x^2+1/x^2​
trapecia [35]

Answer:

x²+1/x² = 51

Explanation:

Given x - 1/x = 7 ---(1)

We know the algebraic identity:

a²+b²-2ab = (a-b)²

Or

a²+b² = (a-b)²+2ab

Now,

x²+1/x²

= (x-1/x)²+2*x*(1/x)

= (x-1/x)²+2

:7²+2 [ from (1)] =

= 49+2

= 51

Therefore,

x²+1/x² = 51
