A scale factor in math is the ratio between corresponding measurements of an object and a reorientation

Answer:

hope like it

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor is usually a decimal which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x. For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of two for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor for volume of one half. The basic equation for it is image over preimage.

In the field of measurements, the scale factor of an instrument is sometimes referred to as sensitivity. The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is also called a scale.

For the function below, state the x-coordinate of the x-intercept that is located to the fight of the origin.
OLga [1]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It should NOT be "fight of the origin", rather "right of the origin".

Now let's move on to solve the question...

The x-intercept is found by setting the function equal to 0. Thus:

0 = x^3 - 9x

<em>Let's solve this using algebra:</em>

<em>0=x^3-9x\\0=x(x^2-9)\\0=x(x-3)(x+3)</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, x = -3 and x = 3</em>

<em />

The coordinate that is to the right of the origin is the positive one, so x = 3 is the x-intercept we are looking for.

Answer:

y = -3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine the slope of the red line.  As we move from (0, 3) to (1, 0),

x increases by 1 and y decreases by 3.  Hence, the slope, m, is

m = rise / run = -3 / 1, or m = -3.

The desired new line, parallel to the red line, has the same slope as the red line:  m = -3.

The equation for this new line is y - k = m (x - h), where (h, k):  (-1, 0):

We get y - 0 = -3 (x + 1), or y = -3x - 3.

Check:  Does this line go thru the given point (-1, 0)?

Is 0 = -3(-1) - 3 true?  Yes, it is true.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

D would be the wisest choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the taxes and extra expenses the purchase may have. They may raise the actual payment, plus if you don't pay the balance immediately it'll keep growing and growing until you're in deeper debt.

Hope this helped, have a nice day!
