The ratio of the perimeters of two similar shapes is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides, then, by taking the top sides of these figures we can express the following ratio
18 : 24
by dividing both numbers by 2, we get:
9 : 12
Dividing by 3:
3 : 4
Then the ratio of their perimeters equals 3 : 4
HELP ASPAPP The general form of an equation is x2+y2−25x+3y+1=0.
What is the equation of the circle in standard form?
Answer:
the first (top) answer option. ... = 129/100
Step-by-step explanation:
the for me qualifying or disqualifying term is the constant term as the product and sum of all the constant parts.
the general form has the constant parts
... + 1 = 0
so, all the constant terms from the squares on the left side minus the constant term on the right side must be 1.
let's start from the bottom : the 4th answer option.
the constant parts are
... + (-1/5)² + ... + (3/2)² = 121/100
... + 1/25 + ... + 9/4 = 121/100
... + 0.04 + ... + 2.25 = 1.21
... + 2.29 - 1.21 = ... + 1.08
and NOT 1. so, this is wrong.
the 3rd answer option.
... + (-1/3)² + ... + (-3/2)² = 221/100
... + 1/9 + ... + 9/4 = 221/100
... + 0.111111... + ... + 2.25 = 2.21
... + 0.111111... + ... + 2.25 - 2.21 = 0
... + 0.111111... + ... + 0.04 = 0
... + 0.111111 + 0.04 = 0.15111111...
and NOT 1. so, this is wrong.
the 2nd answer option.
... + (-1/5)² + ... + (3/2)² = 229/100
... + 1/25 + ... + 9/4 = 229/100
... + 0.04 + ... + 2.25 = 2.29
... + 2.29 - 2.28 = ... + 0
and NOT 1. so, this is wrong.
the first answer option.
... + (-1/5)² + ... + (3/2)² = 129/100
... + 1/25 + ... + 9/4 = 129/100
... + 0.04 + ... + 2.25 = 1.29
... + 2.29 - 1.29 = ... + 1
this IS 1. so, this is correct.
this corresponds now to the original
... + 1 = 0
Answer: Choice A (May vary from test to test)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-1/5)^2 + (y+3/2)^2 = 129/100
Just an FYI:
I can't stress this enough... Add equation symbols when applicable, for example: √,^,/, etc. You can't expect to have someone give the correct answer when you literally typed the equation out incorrectly.21. A seamstress made 3 different skirts out of the same material. Each skirt required a dif- ferent amount of material. The chart below shows the number of yards y required for each skirt and the total cost C of the ma- terial. What is the equation for finding the cost per skirt made from the same material? Skirt А B C у 2.5 3.5 4 C С $15.60 $21.84 $24.96
Could you please share the chart the problem refers to?
We are asked to find an equation that gives the cost (C) of the skirt as a function of the number of yards (y) of material used.
The information given is:
y = 2.5 then C = $15.60
y = 3.5 then C = $21.84
y = 4 then C = $24.96
when the cost is $15.60, the amount of material in yards is 2.5 yards
so let's find the cost per yard as the quotient cost in $ divided by yard of material
Cost/yards = $21.84/3.5 = 6.24 $ per yard
The quotient gives the same value for all the three cases:
$15.60 / 2.5 = $6.24 per yard
$24.96 / 4 = $6.24 per yard
then the cost is going to be given by the equation:
C = 6.24 * y
This is the equation they asked you to find (naming "C" the cost, and "y" the number of yards of material used.
The equation contains ""unknowns"
Recall that the question is:
What is the equation for finding the cost per skirt made from the same material?
So they want a mathematical formula/equation that allows everyone to estimate the cost (C) given the number of yards of mwterial used (y)
So if you give the following equation (called equation because it must contain an "equal" sign):
C = 6.24 * y
A second problem gives you the amount paid for number of pounds of blueberries
The data says:
3 pounds cost $5.4
7 pounds cost $12.6
We proceed as before, and get that the amount per pound is obtained via the quatient: Price (C) divided by number of pounds (p)
C / p = $5.4 / 3 = $1.8 per pound
that gives us the equation:
C = $1.8 * p
Find the marked price and the rate of discount for a camcorder whose price has been reduced by 95$ and whose sale price is 255$.
Problem
Find the marked price and the rate of discount for a camcorder whose price has been reduced by 95$ and whose sale price is 255$.
Solution
For this case we can find the real price with this operation:
95+265= 360
And the rate of discount can be founded as:
(95/265)*100= 35.85%
Rounded to the nearest percent would be 36%
A can of diced tomatoes has a height of 11.5 cm and a diameter of 10 cm. What is the volume of the can? Use 3.14 for pie.DO NOT round your answer.
Answer:
902.75 cubic cm.
Explanation:
Given a can with:
• Height, h = 11.5 cm
,• Diameter = 10 cm
A can is in the shape of a cylinder; and the volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula:
[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]First, find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.
[tex]r=\frac{10}{2}=5\;cm[/tex]Next, substitute r=5, h=11.5 and π=3.14 into the formula given above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=3.14\times5^2\times11.5 \\ =902.75\text{ cubic cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The volume of the can is 902.75 cubic cm.
You use a garden hose to fill a wading pool. If the water level rises 17 centimeters every 4 minutes and you record the data point of (12,y), what is the value of y? Use slope to justify your answer
Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
so we can use the variable x for minutes & y for water level. (4,17) is what we start with. its asking after 12 minutes what is the water level, 4 x 3 is 12 so we would multiply 17 x 3 as well which is 51.
What are the coordinates of A B C after a Dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 followed by a reflection over the x-axis
In general, a dilation is the outcome of applying the following transformation on a point,
[tex]D(x,y)\to(kx,ky)[/tex]Where k is the scale factor, this kind of dilation is about the origin, and we will use it since the problem does not specify otherwise.
In our case, the transformation is
[tex]D(x,y)\to(\frac{x}{2},\frac{y}{2})[/tex]Then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} D(A)=D(-6,5)\to(-3,\frac{5}{2}) \\ D(B)=D(3,2)\to(\frac{3}{2},1)_{} \\ D(C)=D(0,-1)\to(0,-\frac{1}{2}) \end{gathered}[/tex]On the other hand, a reflection over the x-axis is given by the following transformation.
[tex](x,y)\to R_x(x,y)=(x,-y)[/tex]Then, in our case,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}=R_x(-3,\frac{5}{2})=(-3,-\frac{5}{2}) \\ B´=R_x(\frac{3}{2},1)=(\frac{3}{2},-1) \\ C^{\prime}=R_x(0,-\frac{1}{2})=(0,\frac{1}{2}) \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the answers are
A'=(-3,-5/2)
B'=(3/2,-1)
C'=(0,1/2)

The condos were either three-bedroom units or four-bedroom units. If the total numberof bedrooms in the entire complex is 657, how many three-bedroom units are there? How manyfour-bedroom units are there?
we have the following:
x = number of three bedroom
y = number of four bedroom
therefore,
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=185 \\ 3x+4y=657 \end{gathered}[/tex]what is the slope of the line that passes through the points of (5,3) (5.-9)
Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)
slope = (-9 - 3)/(5 - 5)
slope = -12/0
Since the slope calculation involves division by zero, this line has undefined slope. The two points have the same x-coordinate, so the line is vertical. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
If L = 4 inches and KL = 7 inches, what is the length of the diameter JK? Round your answer to at least the nearest hundredth of an inch (2 decimal places).
We have a right triangle and two sides we will use the Pythagorean theorem in order to find the missing side
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]a=7 in
b= 4 in
c=JK
we substitute the values
[tex]JK=\sqrt[]{7^2+4^2}[/tex][tex]JK=8.06[/tex]the 9th term of arithmetic sequence. Use the formula for 'an' to find 'a20', the 20th term of the sequence 7,3,-1,-5
We will find the value of the 20th term of the sequence 7, 3, -1, and -5.
We have the following sequence:
[tex]7,3,-1,-5[/tex]Finding the common differenceIf we have an arithmetic sequence here, we need to find the common difference for this sequence, and we can do that by finding the difference between the second term and the first term, the difference between the third term and the second term, and so on. If we obtain the same value for the common difference, we have an arithmetic sequence here.
Then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} d=3-7=-4 \\ \\ d=-1-3=-4 \\ \\ d=-5-(-1)=-5+1=-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the common difference in this arithmetic sequence is d = -4.
Finding the formula for the arithmetic sequenceWe know that the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]For this case, we have that d = -4, and that the first term, a1 = 7. Then we have the formula for the arithmetic sequence:
[tex]a_n=7+(n-1)(-4)[/tex]Notice that we can expand this expression as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_n=7+(-4)(n)+(-4)(-1) \\ \\ a_n=7-4n+4 \\ \\ a_n=11-4n \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Finding the 20th termThen to find the 20th term of the sequence, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_{20}=7+(20-1)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7+(19)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7-76=-69 \\ \\ a_{20}=-69 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, in summary, we have that the value for the 20th term of the sequence 7, 3, -1, and -5 is -69.

A dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 per walk plus an hourly rate of $30. How much does the dog walkercharge for a 45 minute walk? Write an equation in function notation for the situation, and then use it tosolve the problem. Determine if the given statement is True or False.
hello
from the question given, the dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 and an extra $30 per hour.
we can write out an equation in function notation
let the number of hours be represented by x
[tex]f(x)=6+30x[/tex]now we can proceed to solve the cost of the walk for 45 minutes
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1hr=60\min s \\ \text{xhr}=45\min s \\ x=\frac{45}{60} \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{therefore 45mins = 3/4 hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]now we can input the value into the equation and know the cost for 45 minutes walk
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=6+30x \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ f(x)=6+30(\frac{3}{4}) \\ f(x)=6+22.5 \\ f(x)=28.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]from the calculation above, the cost of 45 minutes walk will cost $28.5
Which is the best interpretation of the averagerate of change of this function?
We can calculate the rate of change as the slope between two points, like (1,2) and (2,4).
The slope is:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{4-2}{2-1}=\frac{2}{1}=2[/tex]If this is a linear function, this slope m has to be constant.
We will calculate the slope between other points, like (3,8) and (4,16):
[tex]m=\frac{y_4-y_3}{x_4-x_3}=\frac{16-8}{4-3}=\frac{8}{1}=8[/tex]The slope is not constant, so this function is not a linear function.
If we look at how f(x) increases, we can prove that f(x) is:
[tex]f(x)=2^x[/tex]and this function is an exponential function.
Answer: Option B (exponential function).
3A research company produced a study to find out what percentage of people in the state of Mississippi would purchase a new product being developed.Out of the 24 participants polled, 12 stated that they would buy the new product. The research company concluded that about 50% of the residents ofMississippl would purchase the new product. Identify a problem with the study.The conclusion is based on a small sample.
The main problem of the research conducted is the number of participants who polled for the new product. If we want to conduct a study that represents a state, the number of participants must be close as possible to the total population of the state. Of course, 24 participants is very small sample size when we compare it to the population of the state, which means we cannot easily conclude that 50% of the residents would like to purchase the new product based on just 24 participants.
Answer: a. The conclusion is based on a small sample
A population forms a normal distribution with a meanof μ = 85 and a standard deviation of o = 24. Foreach of the following samples, compute the z-score forthe sample mean.a. M=91 for n = 4 scoresb. M=91 for n = 9 scoresc. M=91 for n = 16 scoresd. M-91 for n = 36 scores
In this problem, we have a population with a normal distribution with:
• mean μ = 85,
,• standard deviation σ = 24.
We must compute the z-score for different samples.
The standard deviation of a sample with mean M and size n is:
[tex]σ_M=\frac{σ}{\sqrt{n}}.[/tex]The z-score of the sample is given by:
[tex]z(M,n)=\frac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\sqrt{n}\cdot(\frac{M-\mu}{\sigma})[/tex]Using these formulas, we compute the z-score of each sample:
(a) M = 91, n = 4
[tex]z(91,4)=\sqrt{4}\cdot(\frac{91-85}{24})=0.5.[/tex](b) M = 91, n = 9
[tex]z(91,9)=\sqrt{9}\cdot(\frac{91-85}{24})=0.75.[/tex](c) M = 91, n = 16
[tex]z(91,16)=\sqrt{16}\cdot(\frac{91-85}{24})=1.[/tex](d) M = 91, n = 36
[tex]z(91,9)=\sqrt{36}\cdot(\frac{91-85}{24})=1.5.[/tex]Answera. z = 0.5
b. z = 0.75
c. z = 1
d. z = 1.5

1. Write the equation of the line with a slope of -3 that passes through the point (1,9).y=3x + 12y=3x + 6y=-32 +6y=-3x+12
Answer:
y = -3x + 12
Explanation:
The equation of a line with slope m that passes through the point (x1, y1) can be calculated as:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]So, replacing m by -3, and (x1, y1) by (1, 9), we get:
[tex]y-9=-3(x-1)[/tex]Finally, solving for y, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-9=-3x-3(-1) \\ y-9=-3x+3 \\ y-9+9=-3x+3+9 \\ y=-3x+12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is:
y = -3x + 12

To determine the time taken for the plane X to travel:
If plane X averages 800 mph and plane Y averages 400 mph
Distance column is found by multiplying the rate
by time.
The time taken for plane Y to travel = 2hr 30 minutes = 2.5hrs head start
Be sure to distribute the 400(t +2.5)for Plane Y,
and Plane X to distribute 800t
As they cover the same distance
[tex]\begin{gathered} Dis\tan ce\text{ is equal ,} \\ 800t=400(t+2.5) \\ 800t=400t+1000 \\ 800t-400t=1000 \\ 400t=1000 \\ t=\frac{1000}{400} \\ t=2\frac{1}{2}hr \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the plane X will travel for 2 1/2 hours

Side AC lenght is 6 units and A'C' is 4
To go from 6 to 4, the factor must be 2/3
The table shows the outcome of car accidents in a certain state for a recent year by whether or not the driver wore a seat belt. Find the probability of wearing a seat belt, given that the driver did not survive a car accident. Part 1: The probability as a decimal is _ (Round to 3 decimal places as needed.) Part 2: The probability as a fraction is _
Conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.
The table shows the outcome of car accidents by whether or not the driver wearing a seat belt.
Let's call:
A = The event of the driver wearing a seat belt in a car accident.
B = The event of the driver dying in a car accident
The conditional probability is calculated as follows:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]The conditional probability stated in the formula is that for the driver wearing a seat belt knowing he did not survive the car accident.
The numerator of the formula is the probability of both events occurring, i.e., the driver wore a seat belt and died. The denominator is the simple probability that the driver died in a car accident.
From the table, we can intersect the first column and the second row to find the number of outcomes where both events occurred. The probability of A ∩ B is:
[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{511}{583,470}[/tex]The probability of B is:
[tex]P(B)=\frac{2217}{583,470}[/tex]The required probability is:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{\frac{511}{583,470}}{\frac{2217}{583,470}}[/tex]Simplifying the common denominators:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{511}{2217}=0.230[/tex]Find any value of x that makes the equation x + 100 = x - 100 true.
Since the sides are the same, this problem is unsolvable
