Answer:

When a dilation in the coordinate plane has the origin as the center of dilation, you can find points on the dilated image by multiplying the x- and y-coordinates of the original figure by the scale factor. For scale factor k, the algebraic representation of the dilation is (x, y) → (kx, ky)

Answer:

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational equation is

$\frac{5k}{k+2}+\frac{2}{k}=5$

The Least Common Denominator is

$k(k+2)$

Multiply each term by the LCD.

$k(k+2)\times \frac{5k}{k+2}+k(k+2)\times \frac{2}{k}=5k(k+2)$

Simplify;

$k\times \frac{5k}{1}+(k+2)\times \frac{2}{1}=5k(k+2)$

$\Rightarrow k(5k)+2(k+2)=5k(k+2)$

Expand;

$\Rightarrow 5k^2+2k+4=5k^2+10k$

Group similar terms;

$\Rightarrow 5k^2-5k^2+2k-10k=-4$

$\Rightarrow -8k=-4$

Divide by -8.

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

A model of a famous statue is 2 1/2 inches tall. The actual statue is 3 3/4 feet tall. What is the ratio of the height of the mo

madreJ [45]

Answer: 2:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle\\\frac{The\ height\ of\ a\ model \ of \ a\ famous \ statue }{The\ height\ of\ the\ actual \ statue} =\frac{2\frac{1}{2} }{3\frac{3}{4} } \\\\\frac{\frac{5}{2} }{\frac{15}{4} } =\\\\\frac{5*4}{15*2} =\\\\\frac{2}{3}=2:3.$
