The surface areas of two similar hexagonal prisms are 882cm² and 1,058 cm²? What is the scale factor of the smaller

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

scale factor of the smaller prism to the larger prism is B. 21/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

surface areas of two similar hexagonal prisms are 882cm² and 1,058 cm²?

scale factor is ratio of sides of two similar objects

thus scale factor for given prism will be = side of smaller prism / side of larger prism

in general rule

If shape of solid has scale factor of k

scale factor of area = k²

scale factor of volume = k³

_____________________________

Given in the problem area of two prism is given

we know area = side^2

scale factor of area = k²

k^2 = area of smaller prism / area of larger prism

$k^2 = 882 / 1058 = 441/529\\k = \sqrt{ 441/529} \\k = 21/23$

Thus, correct option is B 21/23.

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luther. After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her. Then at 18

posledela

Part A

x = time in seconds that have gone by

y = distance in meters Superman is away from Lois

"After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her" means we have the point (x,y) = (15, 2100)

"at 18 seconds he is 1980 meters from her" tells us we have a second point (x,y) = (18,1980)

--------

Find the slope of the line through these two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1980-2100)/(18-15)

m = (-120)/(3)

m = -40

The slope is -40 which means Superman is getting 40 meters closer each second. I.e, the distance is dropping 40 meters per second

--------

Use one of the points and the slope to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

2100 = (-40)*15 + b

2100 = -600 + b

2100+600 = b

b = 2700

This is the starting distance Superman is away from Lois

--------

Since m = -40 and b = 2700, we know the y = mx+b equation becomes y = -40x+2700.

Replace x with s, replace y with m. We now have m = -40s+2700

---------

<h3>Final Answer: m = -40s+2700</h3>

============================================

Part B

Plug s = 6 into the equation we found for part A. Then simplify.

m = -40s+2700

m = -40*6+2700

m = -240+2700

m = 2460

---------

<h3>Final Answer: 2460 meters</h3>

How do you find the minimum value of a quadratic function?

aniked [119]

The minimum value of a function is the place where the graph has a vertex at its lowest point.

There are two methods for determining the minimum value of a quadratic equation. Each of them can be useful in determining the minimum.

(1) By plotting graph

We can find the minimum value visually by graphing the equation and finding the minimum point on the graph. The y-value of the vertex of the graph will be the minimum.

(2) By solving equation

The second way to find the minimum value comes when we have the equation y = ax² + bx + c.

If our equation is in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, you can find the minimum by using the equation min = c - b²/4a.

The first step is to determine whether your equation gives a maximum or minimum. This can be done by looking at the x² term.

If this term is positive, the vertex point will be a minimum; if it is negative, the vertex will be a maximum.

After determining that we actually will have a minimum point, use the equation to find it.

A right triangle has an area of 2k^2-k-15 One of the legs has a length of k^2-9 What is the ratio of the area of a triangle to t

Darya [45]

<h3>Given</h3>

A = 2k² -k -15

L = k² -9

A/L

<h3>Solution</h3>

$\displaystyle\frac{A}{L}=\frac{2k^2-k-15}{k^2-9}=\frac{(k-3)(2k+5)}{(k-3)(k+3)}\\\\=\frac{2k+5}{k+3}$
