The scale factor is 1/3.

To find this scale factor, choose a set of sides to compare lengths. For example, taking the left sides of the triangles, which is 9 and 3. 9 is 3 times bigger than the triangle on the right, so that gives us the scale factor of 1/3.

Can some show the steps and the answer please I really need help tell me how you get it and the answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

here is some helpful trig function reminders.. copy this and keep it

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

they ask how long is the ladder

they give us the opposite side (8) and the adjacent side (6)  

and the Hyp is the length of the ladder.   They expect you to sort this out in your head.  :/  

there is two steps .. we'll solve for the angle.. then we can use that to find the Hyp side..(long side of triangle)  which is the ladder length

Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

Tan(Ф) = 8 / 6

Ф = arcTan(8 / 6)

Ф ≈ 53.130°

now lets use that angle with one of the other trig functions to find the Hyp.. sin or cos will work b/c we have both the opp and the adj sides lengths.  let's use cos

Cos(53.130) = 6 / Hyp

Hyp = 6 / Cos(53.130)   ( I just used algebra to swap the two)

Hyp = 9.99997

the ladder will be 10' long.  

ask in the comments if you need any more explaining

A toddler takes off running down the sidewalk at 270 ft/min. One minute later, a worried mother runs after the child at 580 ft/m
Naily [24]
We know that in one minute the toddler is 2(270)=540 feet and mother is 580 so less than 1 minute

What intervals would you use to determine where<br> the function is positive and negative?
Igoryamba

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is positive when it is above the x-axis

The following x values are where the function has positive y coordinates:

(-2,0)

(4,inf)

The function is negative when it is below the x-axis

The following x values are where the function has negative y coordinates:

(-inf,-2)

(0,4)

So you should see all of these intervals listed in choice B

Which is the graph of the sequence defined by the function f(x + 1) = 2/3 f(x) if the initial value of the sequence is 108?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The fourth graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have f(x + 1)  so the x values will be increased by 1.

first value = 108 (when x  = 1)

next value = 108 * 2/3 = 72 (when x = 2)

next = 72 * 2/ 3= 48 (when x = 3)

next = 48 * 2/3 = 32 (when x = 4)
