Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be obtained by simply finding the ratio of the lenght of the side of one shape to the length of the same side of the other shape.

Thus, we can obtain the scale factor that will take us from △ABC to △MNO as illustrated below:

Original Length BC = 15 in

New Length NO = 18 in

Scale factor =?

Scale factor = New lenght NO / Original length BC

Scale factor = 18 / 15

Scale factor = 6/5

Therefore, the scale factor that will take us from △ABC to △MNO is 6/5.

A company determined that the marginal cost, C' (x )of producing the xth unit of a product is given by C' (x )= x^3- 6x. Find t

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$C(x) = \frac{x^4}{4}-3x^2+3,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal cost function, C'(x), is the derivate of the cost function, C(x).

Therefore, we can obtain the cost function by finding the integral of the marginal cost function:

$C(x) = \int\ {C'(x)} \, dx \\C(x) = \int\ {(x^3-6x)} \, dx \\C(x) = \frac{1}{4} x^4-3x^2+a$

Where 'a' is a constant and represents fixed costs. If fixed costs are $3,000, the cost function is:

$C(x) = \frac{x^4}{4}-3x^2+3,000$

Freya, a post office clerk, uses 2 yards, 1 foot, 7 inches of twine to wrap each damaged carton she repairs. She has to repair 1

Reil [10]

Answer:

42 yards 2 feet 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Freya, uses 2 yards, 1 foot, 7 inches of twine to wrap each damaged carton.

She has to repair 17 cartons.

The amount of twine needed to wrap 17 cartons

= (2 yards 1 foot 7 inches) x 17

= 34 yards 17 feet 119 inches

Now let's convert the answer to larger units

1 yard = 36 inches

1 yard = 3 feet

Convert 119 inches to yards

119 inches = 3 yards 11 inches

17 feet = 5 yards 2 feet

Therefore, 34 yards 17 feet 119 inches = (34 + 3 + 5 ) yards 2 feet 11 inches

Answer = 42 yards 2 feet 11 inches

Thank you.
