Hey there!

Unless the smaller object was rotated 360° (in which case the rotation wouldn't have to be mentioned), you can see that all of the lines are still in the same place and that it wasn't rotated at all. This eliminated any answer option that mentions a rotation, which is A and C.

Also, if you count the units of one of the straight lines – for example, line AB and A'B' – you can see that the smaller object is four times smaller than the larger object. In the case of line AB and A'B', line AB is 8 units long and A'B' is 2 units long. This means that the scale factor is $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Lastly, the smaller object was moved from its initial location, which would be in the center of the larger object if it wasn't moved after being scaled down.

The answer will be B, "a dilation with a scale factor of $\frac{1}{4}$ and then a translation."

Hope this helped you out! :-)

The composition of similarity transformations maps polygon ABCD to polygon A'B'C'D' is a dilation with a scale factor of $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and then a translation. Option (b) is correct.

Further explanation:

The rule of transformation of the coordinates can be expressed as follows,

$\boxed{\left( {x,y} \right) \to \left( {kx,ky} \right)}$

Here, k represents the scale factor.

Given:

The options are as follows,

(a). A dilation with a scale factor of $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and then a rotation

(b). A dilation with a scale factor of $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and then a translation

(c). A dilation with a scale factor of 4 and then a rotation.

(d). A dilation with a scale factor of 4 and then a translation

Explanation:

The length of side ${\text{A'B'}}$ is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of side AB.

The length of side ${\text{A'D'}}$ is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of side AD.

The length of side ${\text{D'B'}}$ is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of side DB.

The length of side ${\text{C'B'}}$ is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of side CB.

The composition of similarity transformations maps polygon ABCD to polygon A'B'C'D' is a dilation with a scale factor of $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and then a translation. Option (b) is correct.

A boy had 20 cents. He bought x pencils for 3 cents each. If y equals the number of pennies left, write an equation showing the

Vesna [10]

Hey there!!

The total number of cents - 20

Cost for each pencil - 3 cents

Number of pencils bought - ' x '

y = number of pennies left

What is the domain ?

Show how y is dependent on x ..

Let's get this into an equation :

... The total cost for x pencils bought = 3x

... Number of pennies left = 20 - 3x

... y = number of pennies left

... y = 20 - 3x

Notice : If the x value changes, the y value changes too

... If x = 1 , then , y = 17; If x = 2 , then , y = 14

Hence, we could say y is dependent upon x

Domain = ?

... Remember - The total number of pennies = 20 ; hence, the total cost cannot go above 20 cents.

Hence, we will have to work with inequalities

The equation :

... 20 ≥ 3x

Divide 3 on both sides

20 / 3 ≥ x

x ≥ 6.667

Let's take this as 6

Hence , the domain will be :

D : { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }

Hope my answer helps!

In college basketball, some teams get most of their points from just one player, and other teams are more balanced in scoring. C

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

(B) At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game is greater than the median number of points per player per game.

(D)The mean number of points per player per game is the same at all 3 schools.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baylor University

6 players who each score 12 points per game

6 players who each score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,12,12,12,12,12,12

$Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+12+12+12+12+12+12}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{12+0}{2}=6$

University of Maryland

1 player scores 58 points per game,

1 player scores 14 points per game,

The rest(10) of the players score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,14,58

$Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+14+58}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{0+0}{2}=0$

Dartmouth College

4 players score 5 points per game,

4 players score 6 points per game,

4 players score 7 points per game.

The Scores are: 5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7

$Mean=\frac{5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+7+7+7+7}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{6+6}{2}=6$

The following applies:

(B) At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game is greater than the median number of points per player per game.

(D)The mean number of points per player per game is the same at all 3 schools.

6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?

Nutka1998 [239]

This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

Mateus’s bank issued an advertisement saying that 90\%90%90, percent of its customers are satisfied with the bank’s services. Si

densk [106]

Answer:

The probability of getting a sample with 80% satisfied customers or less is 0.0125.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the results of 1000 simulations, each simulating a sample of 80 customers, assuming there are 90 percent satisfied customers.

Let $\hat p$ = sample proportion of satisfied customers

The z-score probability distribution for the sample proportion is given by;

Z = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, p = population proportion of satisfied customers = 90%

n = sample of customers = 80

Now, the probability of getting a sample with 80% satisfied customers or less is given by = P( $\hat p \leq$ 80%)

P( $\hat p \leq$ 80%) = P( $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{0.80-0.90}{\sqrt{\frac{0.80(1-0.80)}{80} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -2.24) = 1 - P(Z < 2.24)

= 1 - 0.9875 = 0.0125

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.24 in the z table which has an area of 0.9875.

Q. Fine Floors can install 15 square yards of carpeting in 4 hours and 30 minutes. At this rate, how

creativ13 [48]

It takes 5.22 hours to install carpeting in a room

Step-by-step explanation:

At first lets find the relation between yard, feet and inch

1. 1 yard = 3 feet

2. 1 foot = 12 inches

3. 1 yard = 36 inches

Let us change all measures to inches

∵ 1 yard = 36 inches

∴ 1 yard² = (36)² inches²

- Fine Floors can install 15 square yards of carpeting in 4 hours and

30 minutes

∵ 15 yard² = 15 × (36)² inches²

∴ 15 yards² = 19440 inches²

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

∴ 30 minutes = 30/60 = 0.5 hour

∴ 4 hours and 30 minutes = 4.5 hours

∴ Fine Floors can install 19440 inches² in 4.5 hours

∵ The dimensions of the room are 11 feet 9 inches by 13 feet 4 inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 11 feet 9 inches = 11 × 12 + 9 = 141 inches

∴ 13 feet 4 inches = 13 × 12 + 4 = 160 inches

∴ The area of the room = 141 × 160 = 22560 inches²

Now lets use the ratio method to answer the question

⇒ area of carpeting (in²) : time of carpeting (hr)

⇒ 19440 : 4.5

⇒ 22560 : h

By using cross multiplication

∴ 19440 h = 4.5 × 22560

∴ 19440 h = 101520

- Divide both sides by 19440

∴ h = 5.22 hrs

It takes 5.22 hours to install carpeting in a room
