Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the left is dilated 3 times bigger than the triangle in the right

that means that the left triangle is 3 times larger. In order to solve for x, you must compare one side from the left triangle to the other side of the right triangle.

so…

since the hypotenuse of the left triangle is 18, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 3. 18 to 3 is 6 because 18 divided by 6 is 3.
And from 15 to 2 1/2 is 6 as well. (Use your calculator if you need to). so with all that information, x = 3 because…

4x > 2

and since the right triangle is 3 times larger…

4(3) > 2

12 > 2

and that means that 12 to 2 is 6

Therefore, the value of x is 3

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The traingels are similar so we can conpare sides.

3 is to 18 as 2 is to 4x or

3/18 = 2/4x

1/6 = 1/2x

6 = 2x

3 = x

The function f(x) = 20(3)x represents the growth of a fish population every year in a local lake. Jesse wants to manipulate the

lukranit [14]

In the equation, 20 is the original number of fish so we do not change that value to compensate for growth every half year. We will have to change the rate of growth, i.e, 3 and bring 1/2 into its power,
f(x) = 20(3)^(x/2) is correct

These ordered pairs, {(2,4) (3,6) (4,8) (5,10)}, are a function. True False

ki77a [65]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a relation (a set of ordered pairs) to be considered a function, every value in the domain (the set of all the first numbers in the pair) is associated with one value in the range (the set of all second numbers in the pair). This is easiest to see visually. Our domain is the set {2, 3, 4, 5} and our range is the set {4, 6, 8, 10}, and we can visualize the ordered pair (2, 4) as an "arrow" starting a 2 in the domain and ending at 4 in the range. When seen this way, a relation is a function if every value in the domain only has one arrow coming out of it. We can see from the attached picture that the ordered pairs in the problem are a function, so this statement is true.
