The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 20%, resulting in triangle ABC. If the length of each side of

the original equilateral is decreased by 20%, resulting in triangle DEF, how much greater is the area of triangle ABC than the area of triangle DEF?

Answer: Area of ΔABC is 2.25x the area of ΔDEF.

Step-by-step explanation: Because equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, area is calculated as

A=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}

with a as side of the triangle.

Triangle ABC is 20% bigger than the original, which means its side (a₁) measures, compared to the original:

a₁ = 1.2a

Then, its area is

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(1.2a)^{2}

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}1.44a^{2}

Triangle DEF is 20% smaller than the original, which means its side is:

a₂ = 0.8a

So, area is

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.8a)^{2}

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} 0.64a^{2}

Now, comparing areas:

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}= (\frac{\sqrt{3}.1.44a^{2} }{4})(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}.0.64a^{2} } )

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} = 2.25

<u>The area of ΔABC is </u><u>2.25x</u><u> greater than the area of ΔDEF.</u>

Through: (-3,0), perp. to y = 3x - 1
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given: </u>

line y=3x-1

point (-3,0)

<u>Write:</u> equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given and passes through the point (-3,0)

<u>Solution:</u>

The slope of the given line is m=3

If m_1 is the slope of perpendicular line, then

m\cdot m_1=-1\\ \\3m_1=-1\\ \\m_1=-\dfrac{1}{3}

So, the equation of the needed line is y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.

Find b. This line passes through the point (-3,0), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

0=-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot (-3)+b\\ \\0=1+b\\ \\b=-1\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

PLEASE HELP ME I HAVING TROUBLE

Answer: f(-6) = -\frac{12}{11}, f(-4) = \frac{8}{9}, f(4) = -\frac{8}{9}, f(6) = \frac{12}{11}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(-6, f(-6)) is an x,y coordinate.  They are asking what the y-value is when you plug in -6 for x.

f(x) = \frac{2x}{x^{2}-25}

f(-6) = \frac{2(-6)}{(-6)^{2}-25}

      = \frac{-12}{36-25}

      = -\frac{12}{11}

f(-4) = \frac{2(-4)}{(-4)^{2}-25}

      = \frac{-8}{16-25}

      = \frac{-8}{-9}

      = \frac{8}{9}

f(4) = \frac{2(4)}{(4)^{2}-25}

      = \frac{8}{16-25}

      = \frac{8}{-9}

      = -\frac{8}{9}

f(6) = \frac{2(6)}{(6)^{2}-25}

      = \frac{12}{36-25}

      = \frac{12}{11}
