Instructions: The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the missing side length.

Answer:

missing side length is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

similar means that all correlating pairs of sides have the same ratio (old side length) / (new side length).

so, when we know the ratio of one pair, we can apply it to any other side to calculate the correlating side.

we see, when we go from small to large, that we have the ratio 32/40 = 4/5.

so, multiplying the larger side by this, we get the shorter side.

15 × 4/5 = 3 × 4 = 12

the proportion part in your picture is a bit confusing :

yes,

x/15 = 32/40 = 32/40

I don't know, why this last expression was repeated.

x/15 = 32/40

x = 15×32/40 = 15×4/5 = 3×4 = 12

as you see we get of course the same result doing it that way.

meriva

Answer:

  16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The additional wage amount is $80.

The original wage amount is $500.

The ratio of the two is ...

  $80/$500 = 0.16 = 16/100

To express that ratio as a percentage, multiply it by 100%.

  0.16 × 100% = 16%

_____

It might help you to think of the percent sign (%) as a fancy way to write "per hundred" (/100). Of course, using your knowledge of place value, you know that 0.16 = sixteen hundredths = 16/100.

Realizing the meaning of the % sign, you can immediately write this as 16%.

M is between points C and Q. CM=17 and CQ=21. What is MQ?
katrin2010 [14]
Sometimes it helps to draw it out...

     (17)
C_______M_________Q
|___________________|
             21

therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===

Suppose <br> f '(x) = xe^−x^2
iogann1982 [59]
<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • (a) The function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)
  • (b) The function is decreasing on the interval (-infinity, 0)

=======================================================

Explanation:

You should find that the derivative is entirely negative whenever x < 0. This suggests that the function f(x) is decreasing on this interval. So that takes care of part (b).

The interval x < 0 is the same as -infinity < x < 0 which then translates to the interval notation (-infinity, 0)

Similarly, you should find that the derivative is positive when x > 0. So the function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)

Vilka [71]
Given the function f(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 3, we recognize that because of the x^2 factor we have a parabola that opens up.  Its vertex is (-1, -3), which I have swiped from the given equation.  The axis of symm is x= -1.
