A triangle is dilated with a center of dilation at the origin. Point P is on the figure and P' is the corresponding point on the

image of the dilation. Point P is at (-2, 3) and P' is at (-8, 12). Which rule best represents the dilation? *

Answer:

(x, y) → (4x, 4y)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Dilation is applied by the rule:</u>

(x, y) → (kx, ky), where k is the scale factor

<u>We have</u>

(x, y) = (-2, 3) and (kx, ky) = (-8, 12)

<u>Substitute and solve for k</u>

-8 = -2k and 12 = 3k ⇒ k = 4

<u>So the rule is</u>

(x, y) → (4x, 4y)

Answer:

$\dfrac{5}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Though it is not what you have written, we think you want to simplify ...

$\dfrac{2(a-3)}{(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{(a-1)}{(3-a)(a-4)}+\dfrac{(a-2)}{(5-a)(a-3)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(a-3)^2}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{-(a-1)(a-5)}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{-(a-2)(a-4)}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(a^2-6a+9)-(a^2-6a+5)-(a^2-6a+8)}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{5}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}}$

When writing a fraction in plain text, parentheses are needed around the entire denominator. The order of operations tells you that a/bc = (a/b)c, not a/(bc).

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 15 inches. What are the measurements of the leng

Airida [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth (b) of a rectangle be x

Then Length (L) = 2x

Now

Perimeter of the rectangle = 15 inches

Or, 2(L + b) = 15

2 ( 2x + x) = 15

2* 3x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15 / 6

x = 2.5 inch

Also Now

Length (L) = 2*2.5 = 5 inches

Breadth (b) = 2.5 inches

Hope it will help :)

Y-intercept is 100 and slope is 5. Partner gave example: Younger brother had 100 small building blocks, but lost 5 of them every

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Since he lost 5 every month, it should be that the slope is -5, not 5, he is not gaining 5 every month

yint is 100 and slope is -5 would be correct
b=-5m+100
b=number of blocks he has after m months
