Answer:

The correct option is 3. The value of x is 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Figure A is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 to form Figure B. It means both figure are similar and corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.

\text{scale factor}=\frac{\text{Side of image}}{\text{Side of preimage}}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{16}

Multiply both sides by 16.

\frac{16}{2}=x

8=x

Since scale factor is 1/2, so we can directly say that the side length of image is half of the corresponding side of preimage.

The length of x is 8 inches. Therefore the correct option is 3.

Answer:

c ln (x^3/y^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ln x - 3 lny

We know that a ln b = ln b^a

ln x^3 - ln y^3

We also know ln a - ln b = ln (a/b)

ln (x^3/y^3)

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).
QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}

Using the section formula expressed as

[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

In this case,

\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}

where

\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}

Thus, by substitution, we have

\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is
