42. Which matrix represents the image of the triangle with vertices at (-2,0), (1,5), and (4,-8) when dilated by a scale factor

jasenka [17]

The second matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&3&12\\0&15&-24\end{array}\right]$ represents the triangle dilated by a scale factor of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To calculate the scale factor for any dilation, we divide the coordinates after dilation by the same coordinated before dilation.

The coordinates of a vertice are represented in the column of the matrix. Since there are three vertices, there are 2 rows with 3 columns. The order of the matrices is 2 × 3.

Step 2:

If we form a matrix with the vertices (-2,0), (1,5), and (4,-8), we get

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&1&4\\0&5&-8\end{array}\right]$

The scale factor is 3, so if we multiply the above matrix with 3 throughout, we will get the matrix that represents the vertices of the triangle after dilation.

Step 3:

The matrix that represents the triangle after dilation is given by

$3\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&1&4\\0&5&-8\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3(-2)&3(1)&3(4)\\3(0)&3(5)&3(-8)\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&3&12\\0&15&-24\end{array}\right]$

This is the second option.

a coin is tossed, then a letter in the word accomplishment is chosen at random. find the probability of heads, then a vowel

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{52}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Coin toss:

$Total\ outcome=\{H,T\}\\\\Favourable\ outcome=\{H\}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{Favourable\ outcome}{Number\ of\ total\ outcome}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{1}{2}$

Letter Selection:

$Number\ of\ total\ outcomes=26\ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ total\ letters\ are\ 26\\\\Favourable\ outcomes=5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ there\ are\ 5\ vowels\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{Favourable\ outcomes}{Number\ of\ total\ outcomes}\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{5}{26}$

$These\ two\ events\ are\ independent.\\\\Hence\ probability\ of\ head\ and\ then\ vowel=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{26}=\frac{5}{52}$

What is the equation of a line perpendicular to:

Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

"perpendicular" means it creates a right angle (90°) with the original line.

a key element is the slope (the incline) of the line.

it is the factor of x (here 1/4 for the original line) and is defined as the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

the given slope of 1/4 means that for every increase in x by 4 units y increases by 1 unit.

now if you want to draw a few random lines, and then draw lines that cross them with a right angle, you will see very quickly the relationship of the slopes of the crossing lines :

for the slope of the perpendicular line x and y of the original slope trade places (the ratio turns "upside-down") and the sign of the slope flips (if the original line goes up, then the perpendicular line goes down and vice versa. so + turns into -, and - into +).

so, our original slope 1/4 turns into -4/1 = -4.

we still have infinite possibilities to draw such a perpendicular line (more up or more down on the coordinate grid).

to finally "nail" one particular line we need to use the given point and solve for the y-intercept.

the general slope-intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, using the slope (-4) and the point (2, 5) we have

5 = -4×2 + b = -8 + b

13 = b

so, the full equation is

y = -4x + 13

Find the probability of rolling a 6 on a number cube and flipping heads on a coin

serious [3.7K]

Assuming that the number cube is 6 sided

6 is one number in a 6 sided cube, so the probability is: 1/6

heads is one side of the coin, with two in all: 1/2

Multiply the two fractions together

1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12

1/12 is your probability

hope this helps
