Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).
The parametrization for the helix is

where
is the radius of the helix,
is the constant, and
is the parameter
The answer is the second one, <em>2.</em>
Answer:
x=11/5, or x=2.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
9-3(x+4)=2(x-3)-8
9-3x-12=2x-6-8
9-12-3x=2x-14
-3-3x=2x-14
-3-3x-2x=-14
-3-5x=-14
5x=-3-(-14)
5x=-3+14
5x=11
x=11/5
x=2.2
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, figure B was enlarged to obtain figure A.
The two figures are therefore similar.
The corresponding sides are in the same proportion. That constant value of the proportion is called scale factor.
It is given by:

Figure B is the image of A

Therefore the scale factor is 2.5
