∆ABC is transformed with the center of dilation at the origin.

Pre-image: ∆ABC with vertices A(−5, −4), B(−7, 3), C(3, −2)
Image: ∆A'B'C' with vertices A' (−3.75, −3), B' (−5.25, 2.25), C' (2.25, −1.5)
What is the scale factor of the dilation that maps the pre-image to the image?

Answers

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the scale factor of the dilation that maps the pre-image of triangle ABC with vertices A(−5, −4), B(−7, 3) and C(3, −2) to the image triangle A'B'C' with vertices A' (−3.75, −3), B' (−5.25, 2.25) and C' (2.25, −1.5).

Center of dilation is at the origin.

To find the scale factor, we will divide the corresponding vertices of the image and pre-image.

A(−5, −4) ---> A' (−3.75, −3) = [tex]\frac{-3.75}{-5} , \frac{-3}{-4}=(\frac{3}{4} , \frac{3}{4})[/tex]

B(−7, 3) ---> B' (−5.25, 2.25) = [tex]\frac{-5.25}{-7} , \frac{2.25}{3}=(\frac{3}{4} , \frac{3}{4})[/tex]

C(3, −2) ---> C' (2.25, −1.5) = [tex]\frac{2.25}{3} , \frac{-1.5}{-2}=(\frac{3}{4} , \frac{3}{4})[/tex]

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is 3/4.

What is the probability that she would get heads two of the times?

Answers

There are 8 possibilities: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. Of these 4 have at least two heads. Assuming a fair coin, the probability of tossing at least two heads is 4/8 or 1/2. The Answer would probably be 3/8 though.

Answer:

C) 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of heads is 1/2, so the probability of not-heads is 1/2.

Then the probability of 2 heads and a tails is (1/2)²·(1/2) = 1/8.

There are 3 choose 2 = (3·2)/(2·1) = 3 ways that the pair of heads may appear among the three tosses. Thus the probability of 2 heads in 3 tosses is ...

... 3·(1/8) = 3/8

Answer:

1. [tex]\Delta ADC\sim \Delta RTS[/tex] because [tex]\angle A\cong \angle R[/tex], [tex]\angle C\cong \angle S[/tex] and [tex]\angle D\cong \angle T[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two triangles [tex]\Delta ADC[/tex] and [tex]\Delta RTS[/tex]. We are asked to find the relationship between these triangles.

By angle sum property let us find measure of angle C of triangle ADC.

[tex]m\angle C+m\angle D+m\angle A=180^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle C+51.2^{o}+96.5^{o}=180^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle C+147.7^{o}=180^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle C=180^{o}-147.7^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle C=32.3^{o}[/tex]

Let us find measure of angle T of triangle RTS.

[tex]m\angle T+m\angle R+m\angle S=180^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle T+96.5^{o}+32.3^{o}=180^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle T+128.8^{o}=180^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle T=180^{o}-128.8^{o}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle T=51.2^{o}[/tex]

We can see that [tex]m\angle C=m\angle S[/tex], [tex]m\angle A=m\angle R[/tex] and [tex]m\angle D=m\angle T[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\Delta ADC\sim \Delta RTS[/tex] and 1st option is the correct choice.

Jordan is a manager of a car dealership. He has two professional car washers, Matthew and Arianna, to clean the entire lot of cars. Matthew can wash all the cars in 14 hours. Arianna can wash all the cars in 11 hours. Jordan wants to know how long it will take them to wash all the cars in the lot if they work together. Write an equation and solve for the time it will take Matthew and Arianna to wash all the cars together. Explain each step.

Answers

Answer:

t = 6 4/25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find out how long it takes them to do the job is

1/m  + 1/ a  = 1 /t

where m is the time for Matthew to do the job

a is the time for Arianna to do the job

and t is the time for them to do the job together

m = 14 hours

a = 11 hours

Substituting what we know

1/14 + 1/11 = 1/t

Multiplying by 154t (14*11*t) so we can clear the fractions

154t*(1/14 + 1/11) = 1/t* 154t

 11t + 14t = 154

Combine like terms

25t = 154

Divide by 25

t = 154/25

t = 6 4/25 hours

A motorist traveled 250 miles on 11 gallons of gas. With the same vehicle, about how far could he go on 16 gallons of gas? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Given:

A motorist traveled 250 miles on 11 gallons of gas.

To Find:

In the same vehicle, the distance that can be traveled in 16 gallons.

Answer:

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the distance traveled on 16 gallons of gas is 363.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first find the number of miles that can be traveled on 1 mile of gas.

We do this by using the unitary method.

Given that in 11 gallons, 250 miles can be traveled in a certain vehicle.

So in 1 gallon, 250 ÷ 11 miles can be traveled. This is roughly equal to 22.72.

Next we will calculate how much distance he can go in 16 gallons. We multiply the distance traveled in 1 gallon by 16.

That is, in  16 gallons, the number of miles that can be traveled is 22.72 x 16 = 363.52.

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the distance traveled on 16 gallons of gas is 363.5 miles.

Answer:363.6miles

Answer: g(x) = x^4 - 9x^3 + 18x^2 + 32x - 96 which is choice C

=============================

Explanation:

Given roots: -2, 4, 4, 3

Based on that, we know that x = -2, x = 4, x = 4, and x = 3. The repeat x value of 4 is needed to help deal with a double root (multiplicity 2)

x = -2 leads to x+2 = 0, so (x+2) is one factor

x = 4 leads to x-4 = 0, making (x-4) another factor. We have two copies of (x-4) as a factor

x = 3 leads to x-3 = 0 so (x-3) is the last factor

Overall, the four factors are: (x+2) and (x-4) and (x-4) and (x-3)

Use the distributive property to expand everything out

g(x) = (x+2)(x-4)(x-4)(x-3)

g(x) = ( (x+2)(x-4) ) * ( (x-4)(x-3) )

g(x) = ( x^2 - 2x - 8 ) * ( x^2 - 7x + 12 )

g(x) = x^2( x^2 - 7x + 12 ) - 2x( x^2 - 7x + 12 ) - 8( x^2 - 7x + 12 )

g(x) = x^4 - 7x^3 + 12x^2 -2x^3 + 14x^2 - 24x - 8x^2 + 56x - 96

g(x) = x^4 - 9x^3 + 18x^2 + 32x - 96

which shows how I got choice C as the answer

You can buy 20 ounces of cereal for 4.40$ or 16 ounces of the same brand for 3.68$ which is the better buy?

Answers

To find the better buy, we can find how much they cost for an ounce and find it by comparison.

First option:

20/4.4

=$4.545454...

Second option:

16/3.68

=$4.3478...

As $4.3478..< $4.5454.., the second option is cheaper and therefore is the better buy.

Hope it helps!

The 20 ounces for $4.40 is the better deal at $0.22 per ounce, compared to the 16 ounces for $3.68 at $0.23 per ounce.

To determine which cereal is the better buy, we need to calculate the cost per ounce for each option. For the first option of 20 ounces at $4.40, the cost per ounce is:

[tex]\frac{0.44}{20} = 0.22 ~per ounce[/tex]

For the second option of 16 ounces at $3.68, the cost per ounce is:

[tex]\frac{3.68}{16} = 0.23[/tex]

Comparing these two costs per ounce, the 20 ounces for $4.40 is the better buy because it has a lower cost per ounce.

Yesterday, there were 1290 downloads of the song, for a total download size of 4403 MB. How many downloads of the high-quality version were there?

Answers

Answer:

770 high-quality songs were downloaded

Step-by-step explanation:

A web music store offerst two versions:

Standard Version = 2.1 MBHigh-Quality Version = 4.3MB

There were 1290 for a total download size of 4403MB.

According to the information above, we have the following system of equations:

A + B =1290

2.1A + 4.3B = 4403

Where 'A' referst to the number of Standard songs and 'B' refers to the number of High Quality songs.

Solving the sistem of equations we get that:

A + B =1290 ⇒ A = 1290 - B

2.1A + 4.3B = 4403 ⇒ 2.1(1290 - B) + 4.3B = 4403

⇒ 2709 - 2.1B + 4.3B = 4403 ⇒ 2.2B = 1694 ⇒ B=770

Now, let's find the value of 'A':

A + B =1290 ⇒ A = 1290 - 770 ⇒ A = 520.

Therefore, 770 high-quality songs were downloaded.

How do you write 2x^2+12x-4 in vertex form? Read the myth below and answer the question that follows. "The Sea-Monster" translated by Thomas Bulfinch Perseus, continuing his flight, arrived at the country of the Aethiopians, of which Cepheus was king. Cassiopeia his queen, proud of her beauty, had dared to compare herself to the Sea-Nymphs, which roused their indignation to such a degree that they sent a prodigious sea-monster to ravage the coast. To appease the deities, Cepheus was directed by the oracle to expose his daughter Andromeda to be devoured by the monster. As Perseus looked down from his aerial height he beheld the virgin chained to a rock, and waiting the approach of the serpent. She was so pale and motionless that if it had not been for her flowing tears and her hair that moved in the breeze, he would have taken her for a marble statue. He was so startled at the sight that he almost forgot to wave his wings. As he hovered over her he said, "O virgin, undeserving of those chains, but rather of such as bind fond lovers together, tell me, I beseech you, your name, and the name of your country, and why you are thus bound." At first she was silent from modesty, and, if she could, would have hid her face with her hands; but when he repeated his questions, for fear she might be thought guilty of some fault which she dared not tell, she disclosed her name and that of her country, and her mother's pride of beauty. Before she had done speaking, a sound was heard off upon the water, and the sea-monster appeared, with his head raised above the surface, cleaving the waves with his broad breast. The virgin shrieked, the father and mother who had now arrived at the scene, wretched both, but the mother more justly so, stood by, not able to afford protection, but only to pour forth lamentations and to embrace the victim. Then spoke Perseus: "There will be time enough for tears; this hour is all we have for rescue. My rank as the son of Jove and my renown as the slayer of the Gorgon might make me acceptable as a suitor; but I will try to win her by services rendered, if the gods will only be propitious. If she be rescued by my valor, I demand that she be my reward." The parents' consent (how could they hesitate?) and promise a royal dowry with her. And now the monster was within the range of a stone thrown by a skillful slinger, when with a sudden bound the youth soared into the air. As an eagle, when from his lofty flight he sees a serpent basking in the sun, pounces upon him and seizes him by the neck to prevent him from turning his head round and using his fangs, so the youth darted down upon the back of the monster and plunged his sword into its shoulder. Irritated by the wound, the monster raised himself in the air, then plunged into the depth; then, like a wild boar surrounded, by a pack of barking dogs, turned swiftly from side to side, while the youth eluded its attacks by means of his wings. Wherever he can find a passage for his sword between the scales he makes a wound, piercing now the side, now the flank, as it slopes towards the tail. The brute spouts from his nostrils water mixed with blood. The wings of the hero are wet with it, and he dares no longer trust to them. Alighting on a rock which rose above the waves, and holding on by a projecting fragment, as the monster floated near he gave him a death stroke. The people who had gathered on the shore shouted so that the hills reechoed the sound. The parents, transported with joy, embraced their future son-in-law, calling him their deliverer and the savior of their house, and the virgin both cause and reward of the contest, descended from the rock.
