Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2
====================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.
If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
Answer:
9.07 and 7.77 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the upper control limit, add 0.65 lb to 8.42 lb, obtaining 9.07 lb.
To determine the lower one, subtract 0.65 lb from 8.42 lb, obtaining 7.77 lb.
Answer:
x = -5, and y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that we have two equations:
A = B
and
C = D
combining the equations means that we will do:
First we multiply both whole equations by constants:
k*(A = B) ---> k*A = k*B
j*(C = D) ----> j*C = j*D
And then we "add" them:
k*A + j*C = k*B + j*D
Now we have the equations:
-x - y = 11
4*x - 5*y = 10
We want to add them in a given form that one of the variables cancels, so we can solve it for the other variable.
Then we can take the first equation:
-x - y = 11
and multiply both sides by 4.
4*(-x - y = 11)
Then we get:
4*(-x - y) = 4*11
-4*x - 4*y = 44
Now we have the two equations:
-4*x - 4*y = 44
4*x - 5*y = 10
(here we can think that we multiplied the second equation by 1, then we have k = 4, and j = 1)
If we add them, we get:
(-4*x - 4*y) + (4*x - 5*y) = 10 + 44
-4*x - 4*y + 4*x - 5*y = 54
-9*y = 54
So we combined the equations and now ended with an equation that is really easy to solve for y.
y = 54/-9 = -6
Now that we know the value of y, we can simply replace it in one of the two equations to get the value of x.
-x - y = 11
-x - (-6) = 11
-x + 6 = 11
-x = 11 -6 = 5
-x = 5
x = -5
Then:
x = -5, and y = -6
