Answer:

We conclude that the constant of dilation is: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when an object is dilated by a scale factor, it gets reduced, stretched, or remains the same, depending upon the value of the scale factor.

  • If the scale factor > 1, the image is enlarged
  • If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, it gets shrunk
  • If the scale factor = 1, the object and the image are congruent

The coordinates of the image point can be determined by multiplying the coordinates of the original point by a certain scale factor.

Given the point A'(12, 4) is the image of A(3, 1).

It is clear that the image point A'(12, 4) is enlarged 4 times of the original point A(3, 1).

It means the image point A'(12, 4) is determined when the original point A(3, 1) is dilated by a scale factor of 4.

i.e.

A(3, 1) → A'(4(3), 4(1)) → A' (12, 4)

Therefore, the rule of dilation by a scale factor 4 is:

P(x, y) → P'(4x, 4y)

Hence, we conclude that the constant of dilation is: 4

Which function has a vertex on the y-axis? f(x) = (x – 2)2 f(x) = x(x 2) f(x) = (x – 2)(x 2) f(x) = (x 1)(x – 2)
makvit [3.9K]

The function that has a vertex on the y-axis is f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)

<h3>How to determine the function?</h3>

For a function to have its vertex on the y-axis, then the coordinate of the vertex must be:

(h,k) = (0,y)

A quadratic function is represented as:

f(x) = (x - h)^2 + k

So, we have:

f(x) = (x - 0)^2 + k

Evaluate

f(x) = x^2 + k

From the list of options, we have:

f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)

Expand

f(x) = x^2 - 4

Hence, the function that has a vertex on the y-axis is f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)

It takes Mark 3 minutes to make 1 1/2 inches of a bracelet. If he works at the same speed, how many minutes will it take him to
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

  24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Working at the same speed, the ratio of time to length is the same:

  time/length = t/12 = 3/(1.5)

  t = 12(3/1.5) = 12(2) = 24

It will take Mark 24 minutes to make a 12-inch bracelet.
