The diagram below shows the dimensions of Tessa’s garden.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Tessa's mistake was to have multiplied each dimension by two instead of multiplying by a square root of two.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z -----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the enlarged garden

y ----> the area of the original garden

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have that

If Tessa multiplies each dimension by 2, then the scale factor equals 2.

z=2

substitute

2^{2}=\frac{x}{y}\\\\ 4=\frac{x}{y}\\\\x=4y

The area of the enlarged garden will be equal 4 times the area of the original garden

so

If Tessa wanted to have twice as much surface, she must multiply each dimension by a square root of 2.

therefore

Tessa's mistake was to have multiplied each dimension by two instead of multiplying by a square root of two

F(x)=x2 what is g(x)?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

g(x) = (1/4)x^2 . correct option C) .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , f(x)=x^2  and we need to find g(x) from the graph . Let's find out:

We have ,  f(x)=x^2   . From the graph we can see that g(x) is passing through point (2,1 ) . Let's substitute this point in all of the four options !

A . g(x) = (1/4x)^2

Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = (x/4)^2 , we get :

⇒ g(2)= (\frac{2}{4} )^2

⇒ 1\neq \frac{1}{4}

Hence , wrong equation !

B . g(x) = 4x^2

Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = 4x^2 , we get :

⇒ g(2)=4(2)^2

⇒ 1\neq 64

Hence , wrong equation !

C . g(x) = (1/4)x^2

Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = (1/4)x^2 , we get :

⇒ g(2)= (\frac{1}{4} )2^2

⇒ 1= 1

Hence , right equation !

D . g(x) = (1/2)x^2

Putting (2,1) in equation g(x) = (1/2)x^2 , we get :

⇒ g(2)= (\frac{1}{2} )2^2

⇒ 1\neq 2

Hence , wrong equation !

Therefore , g(x) = (1/4)x^2 . correct option C) .

The distance d of a particle moving in a straight line is given by d(t) = 2t3 + 5t – 2, where t is given in seconds and d is mea
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

(C)6t^2+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance, d(t) of a particle moving in a straight line at any time t is:

d(t) = 2t^3 + 5t - 2, $ where t is given in seconds and d is measured in meters.

To find an expression for the instantaneous velocity v(t) of the particle at any given point in time, we take the derivative of d(t).

v(t)=\dfrac{d}{dt}\\\\v(t) =\dfrac{d}{dt}(2t^3 + 5t - 2) =3(2)t^{3-1}+5t^{1-1}\\\\v(t)=6t^2+5

The correct option is C.
