Suppose you have two similar figures , one larger than the other. The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure

Well...

generally to find scale factor you need to find how much larger or smaller the new image compared to the original. If it is larger it is represented as a ratio (example 1:2), if it is smaller it is represented as a fraction (example 1/2).

An example of finding scale factor would be a square with all the side lengths being 4cm (as the original) and the new square having all side lengths of 8 cm.

The scale factor would be 1 : 2 because the new image is 2 times the size of the original.

\text {Hey! Let's Solve this Equation!}

\text {The Only Step is to Divide 10:}

\text {10y/10=1000/10}

\text {Your Answer would be:}

\fbox {y=100}

\text {Note: When dividing a number by 10 all you gotta do is remove a 0}\text { when it comes to dividing numbers like 1000}

The sum of three consecutive integers is 141. What is the smallest integer?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The Consecutive number are 46 , 47 and 48 having sum as 141

The smallest number is 46

Step-by-step explanation:

• A consecutive numbers means number are in a sequence and are one after the another !

e.g. n , (n+1). Or 1 , 2 are consecutive numbers

• A consecutive even numbers differ by 2 because all even numbers are divisible by 2 !

• If the number is divisible by x we must had taken number as n , ( n + x ) ,

( n + 2x )

• Let the numbers be ( n - 1 ) , n and

( n + 1 )

Given ,the sum of numbers is 141

n - 1 + n + n + 1 = 141

3n = 141

n = 141/3

n = 47

So, the numbers are

n- 1 = 47 - 1 = 46

n = 47

n + 1 = 48

And , the smallest number is 46

• Verification :-

46 + 48 + 47 = 141

Which satisfies the given condition !!

Hence , verified !!

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 2 x + 1 = 17.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

x = - 1 + \sqrt{17}\\and\\x = - 1 - \sqrt{17}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation

x^2 +2x +1 = 17

subtracting 17 from both sides

x^2 +2x +1 = 17\\x^2 +2x +1 -17= 17-17\\x^2 +2x - 16 = 0\\

the solution for quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is given by

x = x = -b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} /2a \\\\and \ \\-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} /2a

________________________________

in our problem

a = 1

b = 2

c = -16

x =( -2 + \sqrt{2^2 - 4*1*-16}) /2*1 \\x =( -2 + \sqrt{4  + 64}) /2\\x =( -2 + \sqrt{68} )/2\\x = ( -2 + \sqrt{4*17} )/2\\x =  ( -2 + 2\sqrt{17} )/2\\x = - 1 + \sqrt{17}\\and\\\\x = - 1 - \sqrt{17}\\

thus value of x is

x = - 1 + \sqrt{17}\\and\\x = - 1 - \sqrt{17}\\
