To determine the scale factor that should be used in order to correct the size of the post card, we simply have to divide the original length of the picture which is 4.5 inches by the space available, 1.8 inches. This gives an answer of,
                           scale factor = 4.5 inches / 1.8 inches = 2.5

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of the lenght of a figure compared to the lenght of another figure and it can be used to enlarge or reduce a shape. In this case, as the customer wants to reduce the picture, to calculate the scale factor you have to divide the small length by the big length.

Scale Factor Reduction= Small length /Big length= 1.8/4.5= 0.4

The scale factor is 0.4.

Find the area of the part of the plane 5x + 4y + z = 20 that lies in the first octant.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
This part of the plane is a triangle. Call it \mathcal S. We can find the intercepts by setting two variables to 0 simultaneously; we'd find, for instance, that y=z=0 means 5x=20\implies x=4, so that (4, 0, 0) is one vertex of the triangle. Similarly, we'd find that (0, 5, 0) and (0, 0, 20) are the other two vertices.

Next, we can parameterize the surface by

\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle4(1-u)(1-v),5u(1-v),20v\rangle

so that the surface element is

\mathrm dS=\|\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v\|=20\sqrt{42}(1-v)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

Then the area of \mathcal S is given by the surface integral

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}\mathrm dS=20\sqrt{42}\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\int_{v=0}^{v=1}(1-v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du
\displaystyle=20\sqrt{42}\int_{v=0}^{v=1}(1-v)\,\mathrm dv=10\sqrt{42}\approx64.8074

"If you switch to the late shift, you will receive a 10% wage increase." Great! I make $12.00 per hour now, and that extra 10% w
maxonik [38]

Answer:

$13.20/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10% wage increase would amount to 0.10($12) = $1.20.  Adding this increase to the starting rate $12/hr results in $13.20/ hr.

A faster way in which to do this is shown below:

Wages after a 10% increase = (1.10)($12/hr) = $13.20/hr

The formula for the future value V (in dollars) of an investment earning simple interest is V=p+prt, where p (in dollars) is the
zhannawk [14.2K]

a)

V=p+prt

now we solve for P

V=P (1+rt)

Divide both sides by (1+rt)

P=V÷(1+rt)...answer

b)

P=V÷(1+rt)

P=3,000÷(1+0.06×5)

P=2,307.69

Bob wants to plant a 7 foot by 10 foot garden with a uniform border of petunias around the outside and still have 28 square feet
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

1.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob wants to plant a 7 foot by 10 foot garden.

Area = 7\times10=70 square feet

He wants to make a uniform border of petunias around the outside and still have 28 square feet to plant tomatoes and roses in the middle.

Means we have to factor 28 in a way that the length and width is less than 10 and 7.

28 = 2 x 2 x 7

Means 4 feet can be width and 7 feet the length of the area where tomatoes need to be planted.

So, we have 10-7=3 feet less than outer garden means at each side 3/2=1.5 feet decreases.

Similarly, we have 7-4=3 feet less width and at each side it is 1.5 feet.

Therefore, the border of petunias will be 1.5 feet wide on all sides.
