Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for figure

CA = 4

CA' = 16

Required

The scale factor (k)

Since point C is the center of dilation, the scale factor (k) is calculated using:

k = \frac{CA + CA'}{CA}

So, we have:

k = \frac{4+16}{4}

k = \frac{20}{4}

k = 5

Choose whether it's always, sometimes, never 
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: An integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true. A polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true. A polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true. A polynomial multiplied by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

Explanation:

1)

The closure property of integer states that the addition, subtraction and multiplication is integers is always an integer.

If a\in Z\text{ and }b\in Z, then a+b\in Z.

Therefore, an integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true.

2)

A polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we subtract the two polynomial then the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

3)

If a polynomial divided by a polynomial  then it may or may not be a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is higher than the degree of denominator polynomial then it may be a polynomial.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=x^2+5, which a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is less than the degree of denominator polynomial then it is a rational function.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{g(x)}{f(x)}=\frac{1}{x^2+5}, which a not a polynomial.

Therefore, a polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true.

4)

As we know a polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we multiply the two polynomial, the degree of the resultand function is addition of degree of both polyminals and the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

Solve for s.<br> 0.5s +1= 7+ 4.58<br> S =?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

s = 21.16

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5s +1= 7+ 4.58

Combine like terms

0.5s +1=11.58

Subtract 1 from each side

0.5s +1-1= 11.58-1

.5s = 10.58

Multiply by 2

.5s *2 = 10.58*2

s = 21.16

In the figure, angle ZYX is measured in degrees. The area of the shaded sector can be determined using the formula StartFraction
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

<u>The given options are:</u>

(A)the central angle measure of the sector divided by the total angle measure of a circle multiplied by the area of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

(B)the central angle measure of the sector divided by the total angle measure of a circle multiplied by the circumference of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

(C)the central angle measure of the sector multiplied by the area of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

(D)the central angle measure of the sector multiplied by the circumference of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

Answer:

(A)the central angle measure of the sector divided by the total angle measure of a circle multiplied by the area of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded sector can be determined using the formula:

\frac{m\angle ZYX}{360^\circ} \cdot \pi r^2

m\angle XYZ=$Central angle of XYZ\\\pi r^2$=Area of a Circle

360^\circ =$Total Angle

Therefore, the formula is:

\dfrac{m\angle ZYX}{360^\circ} \cdot \pi r^2\\\text{Area of XYZ}=\dfrac{\text{Cental Angle of XYZ}}{\text{Total Angle}} X \text{Area of the Circle}

Therefore, the formula is best explained by Option A.

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is option D i.e 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation:

Variation problems involve fairly simple relationships or formulas, involving one variable being equal to one term. There are two types of variation i.e.

  1. Direct variation
  2. Inverse variation

Direct Variation:

Mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other.

Example y=kx

where, k  is constant of proportionality.

The above given example is of Direct Variation

∴ y = 5 x

∴ k = 5 = constant of proportionality.

Inverse Variation:

Mathematical relationship between two variables which can be expressed by an equation in which the product of two variables is equal to a constant.

Example yx=k

where, k  is constant of proportionality.
