Answer:

The scale factor is 1.5, so 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the triangles are similar, so all we have to do is divide 12/8, 15/10, and/or 9/6. Then we get the answer 1.5. Although in a real world situation, this is fine. We need the fraction here, so look at the decimal. Notice it is .5 which is half. We also know that the number has a 1, which means one whole. Anyways, the .5 will make it easy to do a fraction with the denominator of 2 since you divide by two to get a half. Now we add our numerator which is 2 (from the 1) and + 1 (from the .5). Look we multiplied by two, two also happens to be our denominator, coincidence? I THINK NOT. Anyways, our final answer is 3/2 which is an enlargement.

The yearbook club had a meeting. The meeting had 21 people, which is one-third of the club. How many people are in the club?

Answer:

63 because if 1/3 of the club is gone then we need to multiply 21 times 21 to find the total. Which is 63.

Least common denominator?

Over [174]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(s-2)(s+2)(s-3)=(s^2-4)(s-3)=s^3-3s^2-4s+12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$s^2-4=s^2-2^2=(s-2)(s+2)\\\\\text{used}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\s^2-5s+6=s^2-2s-3s+6=s(s-2)-3(s-2)=(s-2)(s-3)\\\\\text{Therefore}\ LCD(s^2-4,\ s^2-5s+6)=(s-2)(s+2)(s-3)$

How do you write equation for rise ove run

SashulF [63]

Y = mx + b

M= your slope or rise over run

B = your y-intercept

For example if the rise was 5 and the run is 6, the equation would say
y = 5/6 + b
The / being your fraction bar

The y-intercept is where your line crosses the y-axis
So say that the line crosses the y-axis at 10
y = 5/6 + 10

That about sums it all up!

When you have the number 81 as your median and you have to find the missing number out of the following 82,87,77,70,80,88

Natali5045456 [20]

Uh, so, you're median is 81 already.

Since the middle two numbers are 82 and 80, you have to add them together and then divide by 2.

However, if you're trying to add a number in, adding 81 as it is would work as well.

Hope this helps!
