Little tip ** if u r going from a larger shape to a smaller shape, the scale factor is going to be a proper fraction....a number less then 1 but greater then 0

BC = 66......EF = 11.......66 times what is 11
66x = 11
x = 11/66 reduces to 1/6
so 66 * 1/6 = 11

now compare the other sides...
42 * 1/6 = 7.......looks like AC and DF
72 * 1/6 = 12...looks like Ab and DE

so ur multiplying every number in the big triangle by 1/6 , and getting the measures of the little triangle....so ur scale factor is 1/6 <==

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the last answer choice.

g(x) = $-(x + 2)^2 + 1$

We don't even have to look at the numbers to tell that this is the correct answer. We look at what is being placed there.

The equation for a transformed function is:

f(x) = $a(x-h)^2 + k$

a determines the scale of the graph and whether the graph opens up or down.

h determines whether the graph shifts left or right.

k determines whether the graph shifts up or down.

We see that there is a -1 for a, which means the graph will be facing downwards. We see a 2 for where h is, but it really is a -2, and when it becomes a positive after simplifying, the graph will shift to the left.

k is a positive 1, so the graph will be shifted up 1 unit.

Thus, the answer is the last answer choice.

A tennis tournament has 2n contestants. We want to pair them up for the first round of singles matches. Show that the number of

ddd [48]

There are

$\dbinom{2n}2 = \dfrac{(2n)!}{2! (2n-2)!}$

ways of pairing up any 2 members from the pool of $2n$ contestants. Note that

$(2n)! = 1\times2\times3\times4\times\cdots\times(2n-2)\times(2n-1)\times(2n) = (2n-2)! \times(2n-1) \times(2n)$

so that

$\dbinom{2n}2 = \dfrac{(2n)\times(2n-1)\times(2n-2)!}{2! (2n-2)!} = \boxed{n(2n-1)}$

Square T was translated by the rule (x + 2, y + 2) and then dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 3 to create square T″.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to know the following:

Dilation:

Transformation in which the image has the same shape as the pre-image, but the size changes.

Dilation preserves betweenness of points.

Angle measures do not change.

Translation:

Transformation in which the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.

Translation preserves betweenness of points.

Angle measures do not change.

Therefore, since the Square T was translated and then dilated to create Square T'', we can conclude that the statement that explains why they are similar is:

Translations and dilations preserve betweenness of points; therefore, the corresponding sides of squares T and T″ are proportional.
