Answer:

L' = (-36, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point (x, y) is dilated by a scale factor of k about the center (0, 0), then its image is the point (kx, ky)

∵ A dilation has a center (0, 0)

∵ The point L is (-4, 0)

∴ x = -4 and y = 0

∵ The scale factor of dilation is 9

∴ k = 9

→ By using the rule above

∵ kx = 9(-4) = -36

∵ ky = 9(0) = 0

∵ The image of the point L is (kx, ky)

∴ L' = (kx, ky)

∴ L' = (-36, 0)

2x+4(2x+7)=3(2x+4)<br> What is x

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4(2x+7)=3(2x+4)

Distribute

2x+8x + 28 = 6x +12

Combine like terms

10x +28 = 6x +12

Subtract 6x from each side

10-6x+28 = 6x +12 -6x

4x +28 = 12

Subtract 28 from each side

4x+28-28 = 12-28

4x = -16

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = -16/4

x = -4

Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same poi

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same point. Alan races around the track in 45 seconds before Brian does and overtakes him every 9 minutes.

To find : What are their rates, in meters per minute?

Solution :

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes.

Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes.

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes.

The difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is

$\frac{9}{(n -1)}-\frac{9}{n} =\frac{3}{4}$

Solving the equation we get,

$\frac{9n-9n+9}{n(n -1)} =\frac{3}{4}$

$9\times 4=3\times n(n -1)$

$36=3\times n(n -1)$

$n^2-n-12=0$

$n^2-4n+3n-12=0$

$n(n-4)+3(n-4)=0$

$(n-4)(n+3)=0$

$n=4,-3$

Neglecting n=-3

So, n=4

Then Alan's speed in m/min is

$S=\frac{D}{T}$

$S_a=\frac{4\times 450}{9}$

$S_a=200 m/min$

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is

$S_b=\frac{3\times 450}{9}$

$S_b=150 m/min$

Therefore, Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Public opinion in the large city of Bedrock is that 60 percent of the residents are in favor of increasing taxes to fund alterna

uysha [10]

Answer: 0.8461

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the proportion of residents are against the increase of taxes to fund alternatives to drug addiction treatment.

As per given , we have p=0.40

A random sample is taken with size : n= 400

Expecting sample proportion : $\hat{p}=\dfrac{150}{400}=0.375$

Now , the probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed will be :

$P(p>0.375)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})$

$=P(z>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}]$

$=P(z>-1.02)=P(z-z)=P(Z$

$\approx0.8461$ [By z-table]

Hence, the approximate probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed is 0.8461 .
