Need help with Select Expansion or Contraction to correctly describe the type of dilation for each given scale factor.

Mathematics
1 answer:
ad-work [718]3 years ago
6 0

To know if a dilation is an expansion ( bigger) r a contraction ( smaller) ignore the negative sign.

If the number is larger than 1, it is an expansion, if the number is smaller than 1 it is a contraction.


-4 is an expansion

2.5 is an expansion

2/3 is a contraction

-3/4 is a contraction

1/5k + 15 factor out the coefficient!
skelet666 [1.2K]
1/5k+ 15
= 1/5k+ 15* (5/5) (because 5/5= 1)
= 1/5k+ (15*5)/ 5
= 1/5k+ 75/5
= 1/5k+ 75* (1/5)
= 1/5(k+ 75) (distributive property)

The final answer is 1/5(k+ 75).

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce, calculate the cost of mailing a 10- ounce enve
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Hence, the total cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

Step-by-step explanation:

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce.

i.e. cost of first ounce=$ 0.54.

Now let x denote the number of ounces after the first ounce,

Hence, the cost of x ounces=$ (0.22×x)=$ 0.22 x

Hence, the cost of mailing (x+1) ounces is: $ (0.54+0.22 x)

Now, we have to find the cost of  mailing a 10- ounce envelope.

i.e. after the first ounce we need 9 more ounces.

Hence, the total cost of mailing is calculated as:

=$ (0.54+0.22\times 9)\\\\=$ (0.54+1.98)\\\\=$ 2.52\\

Hence, cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

Consider the following equations: f(x) = 2x – 2 and g(x) = 5 - x
zysi [14]

Answer:

The difference in slopes of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = 3

We can say slope of f(x) is positive  and 3 more than slope of g(x) while slope of g(x)  is negative.

Difference of y-intercepts of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = -7

We can say the y-intercept of g(x) is positive and 7 units above f(x) while y-intercept of f(x)  is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

f(x) =2x - 2

g(x) =5-x

We need to find the difference of slopes and y-intercepts of the given equations.

The standard form of a slope intercept equation of line is given by:

y=mx+b

where m represents slope and b represents y-intercept of line.

Writing the given equations in standard form to find slope and y-intercept.

f(x) =2x +(-2)

Slope = 2 and y-intercept =-2

g(x) =(-1)x+5

Slope = -1 and y-intercept =5

The difference in slopes of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = 2-(-1)=2+1=3

We can say slope of f(x) is positive  and 3 more than slope of g(x) while slope of g(x)  is negative.

Difference of y-intercepts of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = -2-5=-7

We can say the y-intercept of g(x) is positive and 7 units above f(x) while y-intercept of f(x)  is negative.

Help appreciated !!!!
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle is divided into 5 sections. The probability that the needle lands on a particular color is equally likely.

   So,

        P(red) = \frac{1}{5}\\\\P(green) = \frac{1}{5}\\\\

   Probability of not blue = 1 - Probability of blue

                                      = 1 - P(blue)\\\\=1 - \frac{1}{5}\\\\= \frac{4}{5}

If the original function () = 22 − 1 is shifted to the left 3 units to make the
Rom4ik [11]

A horizontal translation is expressed by transforming

f(x)\mapsto f(x+k)

If k is positive, the function is translated to the left. If k is negative, the function is translated to the right.

So, a 3-units left shift is given by k=3. So you have

f(x)=2x^2-1 \implies f(x+3)=2(x+3)^2-1
