Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at what scale factors would be able to enlarge, reduce, and preserve first. We will use the point (1,1) as an example.

ENLARGE

When we talk about scale factors, both of our numbers of the ordered pair will be multiplied by that number. To make it bigger, we will multiply it by anything larger than a one, we could have a scale factor such as 2, 100, 579395. etc.!

Dilation of 2

(1,1)⇒(2,2)

REDUCE

To reduce our ordered pair, our scale factor must be a number greater than zero but less than one because it cannot switch quadrants, which is what would happen if we used negative numbers. Our reduced number must be greater than zero. We can use 1/2, 1/4, 1/100, 0.67 etc.

Dilation of 1/2

(1,1)⇒(0.5,0.5)

PRESERVE

What would we multiply an ordered pair by to make it stay the same? One of course! This is the only number that will keep it the same!

Dilation of 1

(1,1)⇒(1,1)

Now, let's think of any scale factor as X and see what rules it has to follow to be enlarging, reducing, or preserving.

ENLARGING SCALE FACTOR: X>1

REDUCING SCALE FACTOR: 0<X<1

PRESERVING SCALE FACTOR: X=1

So, where does 4.2 fall? Well, as you can see, 4.2 is greater than one, so this scale factor would make our point larger.

Therefore, 4.2 would enlarge.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

What happens to the volume of a sphere when its diameter is doubled?
pochemuha
To determine the effect of changing the diameter of a sphere to its volume, we would need to know the formula for the volume of a sphere which is V = 4πr³/3 where r is half of the diameter. As you can see, there is a direct relationship.

r1 = d1/2
r2 = d2/2 = 2d1/2 = d1

V2/V1 = (4πd1³/3) / (4π(d1/2)³/3)
V2/V1 = 8

Therefore, the volume of the sphere would be 8 times the original volume.

37% dextrose solution (37 mg per 100ml of solution) is given iv. Suppose a total of 3.81 liters is given over a 15 hour period.
sashaice [31]

Answer:

During 15 hour period, 1409.7 mg of dextrose will be delivered.

The flow rate of dextrose per hour will be 93.98 mg/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a total of 3.81 liters of the solution is given over a 15 hour period.

Now, 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 ml

So, a total of 3810 ml of the solution is given over a 15 hour period.

If 100 ml of solution contains 37 mg of dextrose, then 3810 ml of the solution will contain \frac{37 \times 3810}{100} = 1409.7 mg of dextrose.

So, during the 15 hour period, 1409.7 mg of dextrose will be delivered.

The flow rate of dextrose per hour will be \frac{1409.7}{15} = 93.98 mg/hour. (Answer)
