After comparing the image and the figure, we found that the direction and angle of rotation are 180° counterclockwise rotation.

A transformation known as a rotation involves turning the figure either clockwise or counterclockwise. The centre of rotation is the fixed location where the rotation occurs. The term "angle of rotation" refers to the amount of rotation. A figure can be rotated 90 degrees, or a quarter turn, in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. You have rotated the figure 180 degrees when you have spun it exactly halfway. The figurine may be rotated 360° by turning it all the way around. A counterclockwise turn has a positive magnitude because a clockwise rotation indicates a negative magnitude. Rotational symmetry exists in every regular polygon. When an object is rotated around its centre, it retains its original appearance. The object is then referred regarded as having rotational symmetry.

Let's write the coordinates of the original figure,

A = (1, -5)

B = (6, -2)

C = (6, -5)

D = (1, -8)

Now, if we rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise, the coordinates are:

A' = ( 5, 1)

B' = (2, 6)

C' = (5, 6)

D' = (8, 1)

Now if we rotate it again 90 degrees counterclockwise, the coordinates are:

A'' = ( -1, 5)

B'' = (-6, 2)

C'' = (-6, 5)

D'' = (-1, 8)

Now from the figure, let's write the coordinates.

A' = ( -1, 5)

B' =  (-6, 2)

C' = (-6, 5)

D' =  (-1, 8)

This is the same as the coordinates of the second 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation.

Since we did two 90 degrees rotations, we can say we did a total of 180° counterclockwise rotation.

Therefore after comparing the image and the figure, we found that the direction and angle of rotation are 180° counterclockwise rotation.

Answer: 180 degrees counterclockwise rotation.

Graph is the collection of all points whose coordinates satisfy a given relation (such as a function).

Coordinates of a point in a 2D plane, also known as cartesian coordinates, are two numbers or sometimes a combination of a letter and a number that tell us the exact location of a specific point on a grid. Here, the grid is known as a coordinate plane.

Let tosses be x and and dollars be y

Then we have, (x, y) as (63, 6)

So if in 6 dollars you get 63 tosses then 1 dollar you get = 63/6 = 10.5 tosses.

Then in 2 dollars we have = 10.5 × 2 = 21 tosses

As 21 tosses = 2 dollars

Then 42 tosses = 2 × 2 = 4 dollars

Thus, we have the table:

[tex]\boxed{\begin{array}{cc}\underline{\text{Tosses}}&\underline{\text{dollars}}&\\ \boxed{10.5}&2&\\42&\boxed4&\\63&6&\end{array}}[/tex]

To graph the given points, just correspond x as tosses and y as dollars.

Answer:

141 inch^2

Step-by-step explanation:

13×7= 91 for the rectangle

13-5=8

diameter of circle=8

radius=4

area if circle=4^2 times π

=16×π

=16π

16π+91=141.2654....

to the nearest whole= 141 inch^2 I think

The answer is (1) x = 22.5; (2) x = 16.7; (3) x = 13.5; (4) x = 16.8; (5) x = 24.5; (6) x = 16.15; (7.a) height of the image on film is 11.2mm; (7.b) distance between camera and her friend is 1,875mm.

(1) We can see that in the given figure all three corresponding angles are congruent and all three corresponding sides are in equal proportion so, these are similar triangles.

As per properties of similar triangle:

Three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional i.e. Two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and the corresponding angles between them are equal.

                        Therefore, [tex]\frac{32}{24} =\frac{30}{x}[/tex],

then by cross multiplying them, we get,

                                        32x = 720

                                            x = 720/32

                                           x = 22.5

(2) As, this is already given that these are similar triangle and by applying the properties of similar triangle we get,

                                           [tex]\frac{39}{26} =\frac{25}{x}[/tex]

                                         39x = 650

                                             x = [tex]16\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

                                            x = 16.7

(3) As these are similar triangle again we can say that,

                                        [tex]\frac{2x+1}{x+4} =\frac{40}{25}[/tex]

                                 40(x + 4) = 25(2x + 1)

                                40x + 160 = 50x + 25

                                          40x = 50x - 135

                                          -10x = -135

                 (by cancelling (-) sign from both sides we get,

                                              x = 135/10

                                             x = 13.5

(4) By applying similar triangle's property, we can get

                                           [tex]\frac{20}{30} =\frac{28-x}{x}[/tex]

                                         20x = 840 - 30x

                                         50x = 840

                                             x = 840/50

                                             x = 16.8

(5) As ΔJKL [tex]\sim[/tex] ΔNPR,

                                           [tex]\frac{KM}{PT} =\frac{KL}{PR}[/tex]

                                          [tex]\frac{18}{15.75} =\frac{28}{x}[/tex]

                                            18x = 441

                                                x = 441/18

                                               x = 24.5

(6) As ΔSTU [tex]\sim[/tex] ΔXYZ,

                                         [tex]\frac{UA}{ZB} =\frac{UT}{ZY}[/tex]

                                        [tex]\frac{6}{11.4} =\frac{8.5}{x}[/tex]

                                          6x = 96.6

                                            x = 96.6/6

                                            x = 16.15

(7.a) First we have to change 3 m and 140 cm into mm(millimeters).

So, 1m = 1000 mm

     3m = 3000mm.

And 1cm = 10 mm

   140cm = 1400 mm.

Then to find the height of the image on the film, we have to solve:

                                          [tex]\frac{24}{3000} =\frac{x}{1400}[/tex]

             by cross multiplication we get,

                                      3000x = 33,600

                                               x = 33,600/3000

                                              x = 11.2 mm

the height of the image on the film is 11.2millimeters.

(7.b) For this also, we have to find x by solving the equation:

                                            [tex]\frac{24}{3000} =\frac{15}{x}[/tex]

                                            24x = 45,000

                                                x = 45,000/24

                                              x = 1,875 mm

The distance between camera and her friend is 1,875 millimeters.

The solutions to the equation (w-2)^(2)-54=0 are w = 2, w = 9, and w = -6.

The equation (w-2)2 - 54 = 0 can be solved by factoring.

Let's start by writing the equation as: (w-2)(w-2) - 54 = 0

We can factor out (w-2) to get: (w-2)(w2 - 4w - 54) = 0

Now we can factor the second part of the equation, by splitting the middle term (4w) to get: (w-2)(w-9)(w+6) = 0

Now we have three equations, which we can solve separately:

w - 2 = 0 → w = 2

w - 9 = 0 → w = 9

w + 6 = 0 → w = -6

Therefore, the solutions to the equation (w-2)2 - 54 = 0 are w = 2, w = 9, and w = -6.

The graph of the rational function y = f(x) is represented by the blue line on the graph above. The x-intercept is the point at which the function crosses the x-axis and is labeled (0, 0).

The vertical asymptote at x = 3 is the red line. The local approximation for the vertical asymptote at x = 3 is represented by the black line and is given by y = 568 - 332(x - 3). Similarly, the vertical asymptote at x = -2 is the purple line and the associated local approximation is given by y = -2(x + 2). Finally, the horizontal asymptote at y = 2 is the orange line.

To illustrate the graph, assume the function f(x) is the following: f(x) = (x + 2)(x - 3) / (x + 5). This function is a rational function, as it is the ratio of two polynomials, and it has the given constraints.

To graph the rational function, we begin by finding the x-intercept, which is (0, 0). Then, we look at the vertical asymptote. At x = 3, the local approximation is given by y = 568 - 332(x - 3). We solve the equation y = 568 - 332(x - 3) for x, and get x = 3, thus we mark this point on the graph as the vertical asymptote. We do the same for the vertical asymptote at x = -2 and mark this point on the graph. Finally, we draw the line for the horizontal asymptote at y = 2. This gives us the complete graph of the rational function y = f(x).

A $450 principal and a simple interest rate of 0.35% each quarter for 212 years would result in a savings account balance of $3768.

We can use the formula for simple interest to solve this problem:

Simple Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

where Rate is the interest rate as a decimal, and Time is the time in years.

The quarterly interest rate is 0.35% / 4 = 0.00875, and the time is 212 years, or 848 quarters.

Plugging in these values, we get:

Simple Interest = $450 x 0.00875 x 848 = $3318

Therefore, the balance of the savings account after 212 years would be:

Balance = Principal + Simple Interest = $450 + $3318 = $3768

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio is 30/21600 = 3/2160 = 1/720

that means for every degree the hour hand moves, the second hand does 2 full rotations (2×360°).

h = s×30/21600 = s/720

FYI :

as there are 12 hours on a clock, every hour means 360/12 = 30° rotation for the hour hand.

so, for each hour the second hand moves 21600°.

that means 21600/360 = 60 full rotations.

that means one rotation of the second hand is 1 minute.

so, the second hand is truly a second hand (counting the seconds).

60 seconds in a minute (a full rotation by the second hand), that means each second corresponds to 360/60 = 6° rotation of the second hand.

We need to determine how much time is left for the kids to do their assignment after working on problems on the board for 55 minutes and 11/12 hours. To achieve this, we must take the time spent solving issues out of the overall class time:

Total class time = 5/4 hours

Time spent on working problems = 55 minutes + 11/12 hours

= (55/60) hours + (11/12) hours

= (11/12 + 55/60) hours

= (11/12 + 11/12) hours

= (22/12) hours

= (11/6) hours

Overall class time minus the amount of time spent solving problems equals the amount of time remaining for homework.

= 5/4 hours - 11/6 hours

= (15/12) hours - (22/12) hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I am definitely willing to help anyone with algebra!

It seems you need explanations on mode, median and mean. First, let's remember that these terms are related to data sets.

Example: I have a list of grades in Algebra 2, which list off as 94, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 99, 99, 99, 100.

I want the mode, median and mean. The mode is the number that appears the most in a data set, the median is the number in the exact middle of a data set, and the mean is the average value of the data set.

Mode: The number that appears most in this list of grades is 99. My mode is 99, and usually people use this to represent the whole of a data set, especially when the mode appears in the majority of the data set, at least 80% of the data set.

Median: My median is basically the number in the middle of the list. Since I have an even number of 10 grades, I need to find the two numbers closest to the middle, which is 98 and 99, the fifth and sixth term. I find the average of these two numbers- (98+99)/2 = 98.5. This is my median grade. This is usually used to represent data sets when describing demographics.

Mean: This is the average of the whole data set, which means we add up all the numbers and divide them by the number of items there are. Since we have ten grades in the data set, I add (94+94+95+96+98+99+99+99+99+100)/10 = 97.3

This is my mean, which represents my average grade. The mean is used a lot when teachers create our report cards! Hope this helps, but if you need anything else, feel free to comment back on this.

The Bisection Method is a numerical method used to find the roots of a function within a given interval. It works by repeatedly dividing the interval in half and checking which half contains the root until the desired level of accuracy is achieved. In this case, we are using 17 iterations to extract the root of the function f(x) = x/3 + In(x) - 1 on the closed interval [1,2].

To locate the root of f(x) = x/3 + In(x) - 1 on a closed interval [1,2] using the Bisection Method with 17 iterations, we will follow the steps below:

1. Define the function f(x) = x/3 + In(x) - 1
2. Set the initial values for the interval: a = 1 and b = 2
3. Start the iteration process by finding the midpoint of the interval: c = (a+b)/2
4. Evaluate the function at the midpoint: f(c) = f((a+b)/2)
5. Determine if the root lies in the left or right half of the interval by checking the sign of f(c)
6. If f(c) is positive, then the root lies in the left half of the interval, so we set b = c and repeat the process from step 3.
7. If f(c) is negative, then the root lies in the right half of the interval, so we set a = c and repeat the process from step 3.
8. Continue the iteration process until we have completed 17 iterations.

After 17 iterations, we will have narrowed down the interval to a very small range and the midpoint of this interval will be an approximation of the root of the function.

Answer:

To apply the first derivative test to the function f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 12x + 5, we need to find its derivative:

f'(x) = 6x^2 + 6x - 12

Then, we need to find the critical points by solving for f'(x) = 0:

6x^2 + 6x - 12 = 0

Dividing both sides by 6, we get:

x^2 + x - 2 = 0

Factoring the left side, we get:

(x + 2)(x - 1) = 0

So the critical points are x = -2 and x = 1.

To determine the intervals where f(x) is increasing and decreasing, we need to evaluate f'(x) on each side of the critical points. We can use a sign chart to do this:

x     |  -2  |  1  |

------|-----|----|

f'(x) | -12 |  0 |

Since f'(x) is negative to the left of x = -2 and positive to the right of x = -2, the function is decreasing to the left of x = -2 and increasing to the right of x = -2. Since f'(x) changes sign at x = 1, there is a local minimum at x = 1.

Therefore, using the first derivative test, we can conclude that the function has a local minimum at x = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car travels 4 feet in 1 second, 16 feet in 4 seconds, 24 feet in 6 seconds, 32 feet in 8 seconds.

Distance is a measure of the amount of space between two objects or points. It is the length of the shortest path between the two points, and it is typically measured in units such as meters, kilometers, miles, or feet.

In mathematics, distance is often calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

The car travels 4 feet in 1 second, which is equivalent to a rate of 4 feet per second.

The car also travels 16 feet in 4 seconds, which is also equivalent to a rate of 4 feet per second.

Similarly, the car travels 24 feet in 6 seconds, 32 feet in 8 seconds, and so on, all at a constant rate of 4 feet per second.

Answer:

Let's assume that the price before adding the VAT is x.

We know that the VAT rate is 8%, which means that the VAT amount is 8% of x, or 0.08x.

The total price including VAT is the sum of the price before VAT and the VAT amount, so we can write:

Total price = price before VAT + VAT amount

or

2,700 = x + 0.08x

Simplifying this equation, we can combine like terms on the right-hand side to get:

2,700 = 1.08x

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 1.08:

x = 2,700 / 1.08

x = 2,500

Therefore, the price before VAT was added is 2,500.
