Answer:

2 sticks of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's figure out how many cookies you can make with one stick of butter. So, we can divide 3 by 3 and 24 by 3...

$\frac{3}{3} = 1\$

$\frac{24}{3} = 8$

Now that we know that 1 stick of butter makes 8 cookies, we can multiply the amount of cookies till it becomes 16...

8×? = 16

We could rewrite this equation as division...

16÷8 = 2 sticks of butter

Now we know that we need 2 sticks of butter for 16 cookies...

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{2}$ or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we know it's a dilation. So we can use any two points. I chose V and V'.

V: (3,6)

V': (2,4)

So how we get from 6 to 4?

$4(x)=6\\x=\frac{6}{4} \\x=1.5$

You can tell it's 1.5 aswell because 4 times 1 is 4 and 4 times 0.5 is 2. Add them to get 6.

Therefore, the dilation factor is 1.5.

What is the value of tan (-2pi/3)?

wolverine [178]

This revolves around exact trig values - no easy way to say this, you just need to memorise them. They are there for sin cos and tan, but I will give you the main tan ones below - note this is RADIANS (always work in them when you can, everything is better):

tan0: 0
tanpi/6: 1/sqrt(3)
tanpi/4: 1
tanpi/3: sqrt(3)
tanpi/2: undefined

Now we just need to equate -2pi/3 to something we understand. 2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round a circle, so -2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round the circle going backwards (anticlockwise), so on a diagram we already know it's in the third quadrant of the circle (somewhere between pi and 3pi/2 rads).
We also know it is pi/3 away from pi, so we are looking at sqrt(3) or -sqrt(3) because of those exact values.

Now we just need to work out if it's positive or negative. You can look up a graph of tan and it'll show that the graph intercepts y at (0,0) and has a period of pi rads. Therefore between pi and 3pi/2 rads, the values of tan are positive. Therefore, this gives us our answer of sqrt(3).
