Answer:

The answer is -15.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x - 1

2. 2(-7) - 1

3. (-14) - 1

4. -15

By plugging in our x value, we are able to use PEMDAS to multiply 2 and the value of x and then, we subtract 1 from the value we got from step 3 to get -15.

A triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/5 and then rotated 90 degree clockwise about the origin. Why is the image similar t

yan [13]

Answers:
The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent
The image is a reduction of the pre-image
Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle

Explanation:
For shapes to be similar:
1- there should be a ratio between the sides
2- angles in first shape should be congruent to angles in second shape

Now, a scale factor of 0.2 means that the sides of the image are 0.2 of the length of the original shape. However, angles are not changes

Let's check the choices:
1- The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent:
This option is incorrect as dilation changes the lengths of the sides

2- The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent:
This option is correct as neither dilation nor rotation alters the measures of the angles

3- The corresponding sides of the image are 5 times as long as those of the pre-image:
This option is incorrect as the sides of the image are only 0.2 times as long as those of the pre-image

4- The image is a reduction of the pre-image:
This option is correct as the sides of the image are 0.2 times those of the pre-image which means that the shape is reduced

5- Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle:
This option is correct as both dilation and rotation are rigid transformations that do not alter the shape of the triangle (a triangle remains a triangle only with different side lengths)

6- The rotation reduces the size of the triangle:
This option is incorrect as rotation does not alter the size of the shape. It only changes its position

Hope this helps :)

Ali surveyed 200 students at a school and recorded the eye color and the gender of each student. of the 80 male students who wer

Aloiza [94]

Total number of students surveyed = 200
Number of male students = 80
Number of female students = 200 - 80 = 120

Number of brown eyed male students = 60
Probability of a brown eyed male student = 60 / 80 = 0.75.

Since, eye color and gender are independent, this means that eye color is not affected by the gender. Thus, we expect a similar probability of brown eye for female as we had for male.

Let the number expected of brown eyed females be x, then x / 120 = 0.75.

Thus, x = 120(0.75) = 90.

Therefore, the number female students surveyed expected to be brown eyed is 90.
