<span>Brenda would be correct, another way to find the answer would be to use the keep change flip method. Where you keep 5/2 change division to multiplication then flip 4/1. The equation would then be 5/2 * 4/1 then you just multiply straight across 5*4 = 20 and 2*1 equals 2. You end up with 20/2 which reduces to 10</span>

The length of overline CD is 12 units. C^ prime D^ prime is the image of overline CD under a dilation with a scale factor of n.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

A, D , and E

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$\overline{CD} = 12 \: units$

$\overline{C'D'}$

is the image of CD after a dilation of scale factor n.

We use the relation between the image length and object length:

$\overline{C'D'} = n \times \overline{CD}$

Option A

If n=3/2, then

$\overline{C'D'} = \frac{3}{2} \times 12 = 3 \times 6 = 18 \: units$

This is true.

Option B

If n=4, then

$\overline{C'D'} = 4 \times 12 = 36 \: units$

This is false.

Option C

If n=8, then

$\overline{C'D'} = 8 \times 12 = 96 \: units$

This too is false.

Option D

If n=2, then

$\overline{C'D'} = 2 \times 12 = 24 \: units$

This is true

Option E

If n=3/4, then

$\overline{C'D'} = \frac{3}{4} \times 12$

$\overline{C'D'} = 3 \times 3 = 9 \: units$

This is also true.

Find the distance between the point (2, 3) and the line 4x + 3y = 10 (round your answer to the nearest tenth).

Monica [59]

Explanation

Let's first graph the elements:

Using the distance formula we get:

$d=\frac{|4(2)+3(3)-10|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}$ $d=\frac{|7|}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4$

The height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation h = -16t^2 + 24t + 16, where t is the time in seconds

boyakko [2]

The rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that the height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation $h=-16t^2+24t+16$ , where t is the time in seconds after the rock is thrown.

We need to determine the time at which the rock will hit the ground.

To determine the time, let us equate the height h = 0 in the equation $h=-16t^2+24t+16$ , we get,

$0=-16t^2+24t+16$

Switch sides, we have,

$-16 t^{2}+24 t+16=0$

Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.

Thus, we have,

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{24^{2}-4(-16) 16}}{2(-16)}$

Simplifying, we get,

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{576+1024}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{1600}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-24 \pm 40}{-32}$

Hence, the two values of t are

$t=\frac{-24 + 40}{-32}$ and $t=\frac{-24 -40}{-32}$

Simplifying the values, we get,

$t=\frac{16}{-32}$ and $t=\frac{-64}{-32}$

Dividing, we get,

$t=-\frac{1}{2}$ and $t=2$

Since, t cannot negative values, we have,

$t=2$

Thus, the rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.
