RP is 3 units long and its transformation R'P' is 1 unit long

R'P' = 1/3 * RP

so the scale factor is 1/3

Answer: 1 over 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation is a transformation which produces similar figures.

The scale factor dilation is the ratio of the corresponding coordinates of the image and the pre-image.

In the given graph triangle PQR is dilated to form triangle P'Q'R', then the scale factor to the dilation is given by :-

$k=\dfrac{\text{x-cooordinate of R'}}{\text{x-cooordinate of R}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Hence, the scale factor of dilation = 1 over 3

Answer: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b (slope intercept formula)

9x - 3y = -54

-3y = 9x - 54

Divide all by -3

y = -3x + 18

Slope = -3

Suppose that p is the probability that a randomly selected person is left handed. The value (1-p) is the probability that the pe

solmaris [256]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for $p$ such that $1000p(1-p)$ is maximized. Once we have that $p$ , we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes $1000p(1-p)$ is the same as finding the value that maximizes $p(1-p)$ , just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize $p(1-p)$ . To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

$p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4$ .

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of $p$ such that the inner part of the square term is equal to $0$ .
