What do you know about the scale factor for the dilation shown? Explain.

We want to draw a conclusion about the scale factor for the dilation shown by only watching the given graph, the only conclusion we can take is that a scale factor is a number between 0 and 1. So we have a transformation that transforms the triangle ABC into the triangle A'B'C'.You can see that it is a dilation about the black dot seen in the given image, if the scale factor was a number larger than 1, then the dilated points would be further away from the black dot. But that is not the case, we can see that the images of the dilation are closer to the black dot, then this is not a "real" dilation, this is actually a contraction (where a contraction is a "dilation" of scale factor between zero and 1). Then the only thing that we can conclude with the given image is that the scale factor of the dilation shown is a number larger than 0 and smaller than 1.

In a polling station, there were 900 registered voters. During an election 10% of the registered voters did not cast their votes

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Ahmed got 390 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of votes obtained by Ahmed

from the question, there were 900 registered voters

10% did not cast their votes

The number that didn’t cast their votes will be;

10% of 900

= 10/100 * 900 = 90

So the rest 90% casted and this value will be 900-90 = 810

810 people casted their votes

30 votes were spoilt;

The number of valid votes is thus;

810 - 30 = 780

Ahmed got a ratio of 3 in 3:2:1

The total value here is 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

So what Ahmed got will be;

3/6 * 780

= 780/2 = 390

jasmijn is a pet groomer. She charges n dollars to clip a dog's nails, w dollars to wash the dog, and h dollars to cut a dog's h

notka56 [123]

Given, the charges to clip a dog's nail = $n

The charges to wash the dog = $w

The charges to cut a dog's hair = $h

The total charges Jasmin take for 1 dog = $n+$w+$h = $(n+w+h)

For 4 dogs we can get total charges by multiplying the total charge for 1 dog with 4.

So, the total charges for 4 dogs = $(n+w+h) × 4 = $ 4(n+w+h) = $(4n+4w+4h)

So we have got the required answer.

The total charges for 4 dogs = $ 4(n+w+h) = $(4n+4w+4h)

The focal length F of a lens made by combining two lenses of focal length U and V is given I/F=I/U+I/V

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

a). $V=\frac{U.F}{U-F}$

b). V = 15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Focal length F of a lens made by combining two lenses of different focal lengths U and V will be,

$\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{U}+\frac{1}{V}$

A). By solving the given formula,

$\frac{1}{V}=\frac{1}{F}-\frac{1}{U}$

$\frac{1}{V}=\frac{U-F}{U.F}$

$V=\frac{U.F}{U-F}$

B). If F = 6 and U = 10 then we have to find the value of V.

By substituting the given values in the formula,

$V=\frac{6\times 10}{10-6}$

$V=\frac{60}{4}$

V = 15 units

Therefore, focal length (V) of the lens = 15 units
