Answer:

We need to find the first term. We can use the formula

an = a1 + d(n - 1)

to solve for a1. We already know the 12th term, a12, common difference, d, and nth sequence, n.

a12 = -36

d = -4

n = 12

-36 = a1 - 4(12 - 1)

-36 = a1 - 44

8 = a1

The first term is 8. Therefore, your formula is

an = 8 - 4(n - 1)

an = -4n + 12

Then use this formula to graph.

n is the independent variable.

an is the dependent variable.

Your graph will be a line.

n | an

Rewrite the expression using Distributive Property, then simplify<br><br> -1(x-9)+4x

pentagon [3]

First ask yourselfhat needs to be dristributed.
That would be -1 (x-9)
To distribute you have to multiply the number out side of the parentheses (-1) by each term inside the parentheses( x and -9)
-1×x=-x
-1×-9=9
Now the expression is
-x+9+4x
To simplify you have to combine like terms (4x and-x)
4x-x=3x
Your answer is 9+3x or 3(3+x).

Determine the value of X

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The value of x is 15 ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about dilation

- A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.

- It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the

figure does not change.

- The scale factor, measures how much larger or smaller

the image will be

- If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger

- If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller

- If the scale factor is negative then the figure will reflected

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ D (o, k) (x , 9) → (-10 , -6)

- D means dilation

- o means the center of dilation is the origin

- k means the scale factor of dilation

∵ The y-coordinate of the point is 9

∵ The image has y-coordinate -6

∵ The image = The scale factor × the coordinates

∴ -6 = k × 9 ⇒ divide both sides by 9

∴ k = -6/9 = -2/3

- Lets find x by same way

∵ -10 = -2/3 × x ⇒ divide both sides by -2/3

∴ x = -10 ÷ (-2/3) ⇒ change the division to multiplication

∴ x = -10 × (-3/2) = 30/2 = 15

∴ The x-coordinate of the point before dilation is 15

* The value of x is 15

HELP NEEDED, GIVING BRAINLIEST!

The correct answer is:

B. This is a dilation about (0, 0) with a scale factor of 4; A'(8, 4), B' (16, 4), C' (16, -12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dilation: D : (x,y) => (4x,4y)

And Vertices

A ( 2, 1 ), B ( 4, 1 ), C ( 4, -3 )

Applying dilation on all vertices

$A ( 2, 1 ) => A'(4*2, 4*1) => A'(8,4)\\B ( 4, 1 ) = > B' (4*4 ,4*1) = > B'(16,4)\\C(4,-3) => C' (4*4 , 4*-3) => C'(16, -12)$

To find the scale factor,

As we are multiplying each vertex coordinate by 4, the dilation factor is 4.

Moreover,

$\frac{A'}{A} = \frac{(8,4)}{(2,1)} = (4,4)$

Hence the scale factor is 4.

So,

The correct answer is:

B. This is a dilation about (0, 0) with a scale factor of 4; A'(8, 4), B' (16, 4), C' (16, -12).
