Answer:
x = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Dilation is a transformation in which the size of a given figure is either increased or decreased by a scale factor.
Given that the length of sides of the smaller triangle are; 5, 13, 12.
Given also that the length of the dilated triangle are; x, blank, 18.
Comparing the length of the last sides of the two triangles, we have;
(scale factor x 12) + 12
= (
x 12) + 12
= 6 + 12
= 18
Thus the scale factor for the dilation is
. So that:
x = (
x 5) + 5
= 2.5 + 5
= 7.5
x = 7.5
And also,
blank = (
x 13) + 13
= 6.5 + 13
blank = 19.5
Therefore, the length of the sides of dilated triangle are: 7.5, 19.5, 18
That would be 4 gallons every minute!
Also: I don't see a graph..? Is there supposed to be one attached?
Good luck!
We have that
y = 2x²<span> + 2
step 1
</span><span>exchange the value of x for y and the value of y for x
</span>y = 2x² + 2------> x=2y²+2
step 2
clear y variable
x=2y²+2----> 2y²=x-2----> y²=[(x-2)/2]-----> y=(+/-)√[(x-2)/2]
step 3
the inverse is
f(x)-1=(+/-)√[(x-2)/2]
