Answer:
The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see immediately that the length of each of the sides in triangle DEF is equal to the length of the corresponding side in ABC multiplied by “a”.
If you divide the length of DE by the length of AB:
a^2/a =a.
You get a scale factor of “a”
Since the functions are not included, I can help you with some examples and a general explanations which will help you to solve this kind of problems.
1) Assumption: all the functions that are considered are linear.
That means that f(x) = x is the parent function, and you can obtain the other functions by a set of transformations (translation and scalation) of the parent function.
2) Example 1: y = x + a
This is a special case of adding a constant to the function.
In this case, the graph of the new function is the graph of the parent function shifted a units upward.
3) Example: y = 5x
This is a special case of multiplying the function times a constant.
The result is streching the graph vertically by the same scale factor.
4) Example: y = (1/5)x - 8
In this case, the graph of y is obtained by scaling the parent function f(x) = x by 1/5 (which results in compressing the parent function vertically) and shifting the parent function 8 units downward.
Answer: increase
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of sides of the polygon, The number of sides of a regular polygon and the measure of the exterior angle are inversely proportional. <em><u>As one quantity increases, the other decreases and vice versa.</u></em>
215 DOLLARS
271/5 = 54.2 hours
How: 2/5 +2/5+3/5 times 5 (bc its 3 different dogs with different times for 5 days) +3 (for 3 dogs) times 4/5 (bc each dog take 4/5 of an hour each) + 1/5 (for the extra 1/5 of an hour pepper wanted to stay outside)
