Graph The Image Of This Figure After A Dilation With A Scale Factor Of 1/3centered At The Origin.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(-1,1), (1,3), (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To dilate an object, we need to multiply the x and y values by the given scale factor.

In this case the scale factor is 1/3 --> 1/3(x, y)

Before-> After dilation

1/3(-3,3) = (-1,1)

1/3(3,9) = (1,3)

1/3(6,6) = (2,2)

A function g(x) has x-intercepts at (StartFraction 1 Over 2 EndFraction, 0) and (6, 0). Which could be g(x)? g(x) = 2(x + 1)(x + 6) g(x) = (x – 6)(2x – 1) g(x) = 2(x – 2)(x – 6) g(x) = (x + 6)(x + 2)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]g(x) = (x-6)(2x-1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]g(x)[/tex] intercepts the x-axis at these 2 points:

[tex](6,0) ;(1/2,0)[/tex]

⇒ 6 and 1/2 are roots ie; if you insert [tex]x=6[/tex] or [tex]x=1/2[/tex] into the equation of g(x) you will obtain a 0.

[tex]g(6) = g(1/2) = 0[/tex]

now in order for 0 to appear we should have [tex]x-6[/tex]

now in order for 0 to appear we should have [tex]x-1/2[/tex]

but  [tex]x-1/2[/tex] doesn't appear in any of these, but its multiple of 2 is there:

[tex]2(x-1/2) = 2x-1[/tex]

Therefore the function;

The monthly salary of a salesman of a departmental store is Rs 12,500 and an additional payment of 0.5 % on the total monthly sale is provided as commission.

i) Calculate his total income in a month if he makes a total sale of Rs 7,20,000 in that month.

ii) What should be his total sale in the next month so that he can receive a total income of Rs 20,000 in the month?​

Answers

Answer:

i. [tex]Total\ Income = Rs\ 16,100[/tex]

ii. [tex]Monthly\ Sales = Rs\ 1,500,000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Salary = Rs\ 12,500[/tex]

Commission = 0.5% of Monthly Sales

Calculating his total income is total sales is  Rs 720,000

[tex]Total\ Income = Salary + Commission[/tex]

Substitute (0.5% of Monthly Sales) for Commission

[tex]Total\ Income = Salary + (0.5\%\ of\ Monthly\ Sales)[/tex]

Substitute Rs 720,000 for Monthly Sales and Rs 12,500 for Salary

[tex]Total\ Income = Rs\ 12,500 + 0.5\%\ of\ Rs\ 720,000[/tex]

[tex]Total\ Income = Rs\ 12,500 + 0.5\%\ * Rs\ 720,000[/tex]

Convert % to decimal

[tex]Total\ Income = Rs\ 12,500 + 0.005\ * Rs\ 720,000[/tex]

[tex]Total\ Income = Rs\ 12,500 + Rs\ 3,600[/tex]

[tex]Total\ Income = Rs\ 16,100[/tex]

Calculating his total sales if total income = Rs 20,000

Recall that;

[tex]Total\ Income = Salary + Commission[/tex]

Substitute Rs 20,000 for Total Income; Rs 12,500 for Salary and (0.5% of Monthly Sales) for Commission

[tex]Rs\ 20,000 = Rs\ 12,500 + 0.5\%\ of\ Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

Subtract Rs 12,500 from both sides

[tex]Rs\ 20,000 - Rs\ 12,500 = Rs\ 12,500 - Rs\ 12,500 + 0.5\%\ of\ Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

[tex]Rs\ 7,500 = 0.5\%\ of\ Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

[tex]Rs\ 7,500 = 0.5\%\ *\ Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.5%

[tex]\frac{Rs\ 7,500}{0.5\%} = \frac{0.5\%\ *\ Monthly\ Sales}{0.5\%}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{Rs\ 7,500}{0.5\%} = Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

Convert % to decimal

[tex]\frac{Rs\ 7,500}{0.5\%} = Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

[tex]\frac{Rs\ 7,500}{0.005} = Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

[tex]Rs\ 1,500,000 = Monthly\ Sales[/tex]

[tex]Monthly\ Sales = Rs\ 1,500,000[/tex]

Use the diagram to answer the question. Triangle D E F. Segments E F and D F measure 11 units. Angle F is a right angle. © 2019 StrongMind. Created using GeoGebra. What is the measure of ∠E?

Answers

Answer:

m<E = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right angled triangle DEF, with 2 sides of equal length 11 units. We are required to find <E.

To know which trigonometric ratio formula to apply, note the following:

Opposite side = adjacent side = 11 units.

Therefore, we use the following to find <E:

[tex] tan E = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{11}{11} [/tex]

[tex] tan E = 1 [/tex]

[tex]E = tan^{-1}(1)[/tex]

[tex] E = 45 [/tex]

Write an equation of a line that has a y-intercept at (0, -6)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=x-6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

    First to write this equation you will need to know slope intercept form which is the equation that the people that wrote this problem are presumably looking for. Slope intercept form can be simply written as [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] . The variable [tex]m[/tex] would be the slope while the variable [tex]b[/tex] would be the y -intercept.

    So to find out this we would have to assume that m or the slope would have to be 1 so we would have [tex]y=1x+b[/tex] or [tex]y=x+b[/tex].  

    Now we have the first half of the equation we can move on to the variable [tex]b[/tex] or the y-intercept (0,-6) . To find the variable [tex]b[/tex] we will just have to graph the point (0,-6) which as you can see from the picture is the y-intercept and that is -6 units below 0. So the final answer will be [tex]y=x-6[/tex]

y=9999x-6.
y=-5x-6
y=x-6

15.62049935 = x

Rounding to the nearest hundredth

15.62 = x

Answer:

Part B: How many dollars more is the price of a bushel of corn in the current year than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year? Show your work. AND IT IS NOT QUESTION AND ANSWER PLEASE LOOK AT THE GRAPH AND READ THE PARAGRAPH

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Since the lines goes through the point (0,0) the graph is proportional. We can find the rate of change by take the price of corn and dividing by the number of bushels

24/3 = 8 dollars/ bushel

Part B

Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars)

                                                  3 21

                                                 6 42

                                                  9 63

                                                 12 84

We can find the rate of change for the previous year by using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (84-63)/(12-9)

    =21 / 3  

    = 7

The previous year was 7 dollars per bushel

The increase was 8-7 = 1 dollar per bushel

Answer:

Part A: 8 dollars/brushel

Part B: 1 dollar/brushel

Step-by-step explanation:

Without reading the question you can already conclude that this is a linear equation. Also, we can easily get the linear function:

[tex]f(x)=8x[/tex]

Part A: Describe in words how you can find the rate of change of a bushel of corn in the current year, and find the value.

We know that a linear function has a constant rate of change, and that is called SLOPE.

In order to calculate the slope of the linear function:

[tex]$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}= \frac{48-24}{6-3}= \frac{24}{3} = 8$[/tex]

Therefore, the rate of change of a bushel of corn in the current year is 8

Part B: How many dollars more is the price of a bushel of corn in the current year than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year? Show your work.

Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars)

Ordered pairs:

[tex](3, 21); (6, 42); (9, 63); (12, 84)[/tex]

Let's calculate the slope again.

[tex]$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}= \frac{42-21}{6-3}= \frac{21}{3} = 7$[/tex]

The difference is  1 dollar/brushel.

What is the sum of the probabilities in a uniform probability distribution? A) 0 B) infinite C) 1 D)2

Answers

[tex]\mathfrak{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}[/tex]

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Probability.

Basically we have to know that, when there is a specific event for which a probability has to be done, there are always two possibilities that is,

Event favourable and Not Favourable.

the Sum of both always end up as 1.

thus sum of the probability distribution is 1.

The sum of the probabilities in a uniform probability distribution is 1.

Hence, option C is the right choice.

What is a uniform probability distribution?

A uniform distribution is a probability distribution in which all events have the same probability.

Because the chances of drawing a heart, a club, a diamond, or a spade are equal, a deck of cards has uniform distributions.

How do we solve the given question?

The general formula for the probability density function (pdf) for the uniform distribution is: f(x) = 1/ (b - a) for a ≤ x  ≤ b.

To find the sum of all the probabilities in a uniform probability distribution, we do the integral over f(x).

[tex]\therefore SUM = \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\\or, SUM = \int_{a}^{b}\frac{1}{b-a}dx\\or, SUM = \frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b}dx\\or, SUM = \frac{1}{b-a}[x]_{a}^{b}\\or, SUM = \frac{1}{b-a}(b-a)\\or, SUM = 1[/tex]

The sum can also be found using the graph attached, calculating the area of the red rectangle.

∴ The sum of the probabilities in a uniform probability distribution is 1.

Hence, option C is the right choice.
