Suppose you have two similar figures , one larger than the other. The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure. Here, XYUV=123=4 . So, the scale factor is 4 .

olga2289 [7]

Number of people in the canoes which hold 2 people =

485 - 273 = 212 therefore there are 212 / 2 = 106 canoes holding 2 people.

The number of canoes holding 3 people = 273/3 = 91

Total number of canoes = 106 + 91

= 197 (answer)

What is the discriminant of 3x2 + 6x = 2?. a.12. b.18. c.42. d.60

Vikki [24]

Answer:
D. 60

Explanation:
The general form of the quadratic equation is:
ax² + bx + c = 0

The given equation is:
3x² + 6x = 2
This can be rewritten as:
3x² + 6x - 2 = 0

By comparison, we can find that:
a = 3
b = 6
c = -2

Now, the discriminant of a quadratic equation is given by:
b² - 4ac

Substitute with the given values to get the discriminant for the given equation as follows:
b² - 4ac = (6)² - 4(3)(-2)
= 36 - (-24)
= 36 + 24
= 60

Hope this helps :)

What is the graph of the function f(x)=x2+ 2x+ 3?

8090 [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this is to let a graphing program do it. You could do it from a chart, but a graphing program can be useful for that as well. We'll make up a mini chart here

x method y

-3 (-3)^2 + 2(-3) + 3 = 6

-2 (-2)^2 + 2(-2) + 3 = 3

-1 (-1)^2 + 2(-1) + 3 = 2

0 3

1 (1)^2 + 2(1) + 3 6

2 (2^2) + 2(2) + 3 11

3 (3)^2 +2(3) + 3 18

See the graph below.

You can pick it out from the graphs you were given.
