Answer:

Elias is not correct. The new rectangle will be an enlargement because the scale factor is greater than 1. To be a reduction, the scale factor must be between 0 and 1.

No. he isn't correct because the scale factor is an improper fraction. 2/5 means you have 2 out of 5, but if you have 8 out of 3, that means you have 2 3s and 2 more leftover. it wouldn't be a reduction, it'd be increasing!

h(t) = –16t²<span> + 14t
using a graph tool
see the attached figure

</span><span>the cricket’s hang time is the difference  between point (0,0) and (0.875,0)

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below (5x+1)^2=7?<br><br> Check all that apply.
stiv31 [10]
(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0

Solve this quadratic for x:

x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5  (answer E)
