A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertices at A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), a

nd C′(15, 0)-. The origin is the center of dilation. What is the scale factor of the dilation?

A triangle ABC is similar to a triangle A´B´C´ The scale factor of the dilatation : s.
0 * s =0
4 * s = 10
6 * s = 15
s= 10/4=15/6=2.5
The scale factor of the dilatation is 2.5.  It is shown in the attachment.

5x^(-2)-17x^(-1)+6<br> i’m so confused pls help<br> will give brainliest
laila [671]

It's a quadratic equation in disguise. If you let y=x^{-1}, then y^2=x^{-2}, and we can rewrite the equation as

5y^2-17y+6=0

Solve for y however you like; we get y=\dfrac25 and y=3.

But we want to solve for x, so we have

y=x^{-1}=\dfrac25\implies x=\dfrac52

y=x^{-1}=3\implies x=\dfrac13

In a completely randomized experimental design, three brands of paper towels were tested for their ability to absorb water. Equa
arlik [135]

Answer:

Yes. At this significance level, there is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>The significance level is 0.05.</em>

<em>The data is:</em>

<em>Brand X: 91, 100, 88, 89</em>

<em>Brand Y: 99, 96, 94, 99</em>

<em>Brand Z: 83, 88, 89, 76</em>

We have to check if there is a significant difference between the absorbency rating of each brand.

Null hypothesis: all means are equal

H_0:\mu_x=\mu_y=\mu_z

Alternative hypothesis: the means are not equal

H_a: \mu_x\neq\mu_y\neq\mu_z

We have to apply a one-way ANOVA

We start by calculating the standard deviation for each brand:

s_x^2=30,\,\,s_y^2=6,\,\,s_z^2=35.33

Then, we calculate the mean standard error (MSE):

MSE=(\sum s_i^2)/a=(30+6+35.33)/3=71.33/3=23.78

Now, we calculate the mean square between (MSB), but we previously have to know the sample means and the mean of the sample means:

M_x=92,\,\,M_y=97,\,\,M_z=84\\\\M=(92+97+84)/3=91

The MSB is then:

s^2=\dfrac{\sum(M_i-M)^2}{N-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{(92-91)^2+(97-91)^2+(84-91)^2}{3-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{1+36+49}{2}=\dfrac{86}{2}=43\\\\\\\\MSB=ns^2=4*43=172

Now we calculate the F statistic as:

F=MSB/MSE=172/23.78=7.23

The degrees of freedom of the numerator are:

dfn=a-1=3-1=2

The degrees of freedom of the denominator are:

dfd=N-a=3*4-3=12-3=9

The P-value of F=7.23, dfn=2 and dfd=9 is:

P-value=P(F>7.23)=0.01342

As the P-value (0.013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Ivan and Kate live 40 miles apart. Ivan leaves his house at 8:00 a.m.
Triss [41]

Answer: Time at which the meet = 10:17:24 am

Step-by-step explanation: Speed of Ivan = 12 mph

Speed of Kate = 16 mph

Total distance traveled = Initial separation = 40 miles

Ivan leaves his house at 8:00  a.m and Kate leaves her house at 9:30  a.m

If t is the time of catch up after Ivan starting, time taken by Kate is t - 1.5,

We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

         Total distance traveled = Distance traveled by Kate + Distance traveled by Ivan

       40 = t x 12 + (t-1.5) x 16

        40 = 28t - 24

         28t = 64

             t = 2.29 hours

So after 2.29 hours of Ivan's starting they meet,

Time = 8:00 am + 2.29 hours = 10:00 am + 0.29 x 60 minutes = 10:17am + 0.4 x 60 seconds = 10:17:24 am

Time at which the meet = 10:17:24 am

Is a triangle with the angles 60 degrees, 40 degrees, and 80 degrees unique?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Hello,

No a triangle with these angles are not unique. This is because every triangle is supposed to have 180 degrees, just like this one.

Have a great day!
