Answer:

x- intercept = - 8, y- intercept = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 and solve for x

- 3x + 4(0) = 24

- 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 8 ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 and solve for y

- 3(0) + 4y = 24

4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 6 ← y- intercept

1. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter o

tester [92]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor (see the explanation)

Part 2) The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor

Part 2) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

we know that

If the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally, then the ratio of the corresponding sides of the new figure and the original figure are not proportional

That means

The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures

therefore

Corresponding sides are not proportional and corresponding angles are not congruent

A) If the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change?

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2W ----> P=6L+2W

The perimeter of the new figure is greater than the perimeter of the original figure but are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W) ----> A=3LW

The area of the new figure is three times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

B) If the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2(W/4) ----> P=6L+W/2

The perimeter of the new figure and the perimeter of the original figure are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W/4) ----> A=(3/4)LW

The area of the new figure is three-fourth times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

The members of the city cultural center have decided to put on a play once a night for a week. Their auditorium holds 500 peopl

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: In first question, Number of student's ticket(s) = 400

And number of adult's ticket(d) = 100

In second question, The goal of $3050 fell by $710

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since, Here d represents the number of adult tickets and s represents the number of student tickets.

And, all 500 seats are filled for a performance.

Therefore, s + d = 500 ------(1)

Also, the price of one adult's ticket = $8.50

The price of one student's ticket= $5.50

And, their is a revenue of $3050 by selling the tickets.

Thus, 8.50 d + 5.50 s = 3050 --------(2)

By solving the equation (1) and equation (2),

we get, s = 400, d=100

Thus, Number of student's ticket(s) = 400

And number of adult's ticket(d) = 100

2. According to the question,

s = 2 d ----- (3)

s + d = 360 -----(4)

By solving equation (3) and (4),

We get, s = 240 and d = 120

thus, the total revenue after selling 360 tickets = 8.50 × 120 + 5.50 × 240 = $2340

But, the goal is $3050 ( according to the question)

Thus the total fall = 3050 - 2340 = $710

Luda [366]

The answer is 1/5, or 0.2, because if you're always putting the slip back in, then there will always by 5 slips to choose from, therefore making the probability 1 out of 5. I hope this helps!
