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.

Answer:

Therefore, x is 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you plot both equations on the same graph, you will get something like this, shown in the graph.

Then, you have to find the x solutions where they intersect.

So, both equations intersect at x = 1 and 2.

Can someone help me with this question please. I'll give the brainliest answer to whoever helps me.

Answer: $\sqrt[5]{y}$

I realize its probably not the largest readable font. If you are having trouble reading it, it is the square root of y; however, there is a tiny little 5 in the upper left corner to indicate a fifth root. So you would read it out as "the fifth root of y"

The rule I'm using is

$x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x}$

and the more general rule we could use is

$x^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}$

where m = 1. This rule helps convert from rational exponent form (aka fractional exponents) to radical form.

Words that came from the same ancestral language and originated from the same word are called COGNATE WORDS.

In linguistics, cognates are words that have a common etymological origin. These are words in two languages that share a similar meaning, spelling, and pronunciation. For an instance, English words have lots of related words in Spanish.
