Answer:

The scale factor is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation of a point about the origin with scale factor k is defined as

$P(x,y)\rightarrow P'(kx,ky)$ ..... (1)

It means the scale factor is calculated as

$k=\frac{\text{x coordinate of image}}{\text{x coordinate of preimage}}$

The given dilation is defined as

$(10,0)\rightarrow (5,0)$ ..... (2)

From (1) and (2) we get,

x coordinate of image = 5

x coordinate of preimage = 10

$k=\frac{5}{10}$

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the scale factor is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

When dividing with polynomials, the goal is to determine how many times the dividend divides evenly into the?

kkurt [141]

Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.

When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor.
x + 1
------------------------------------
x+1| x²+2x+1
- x²+x

Your Mutual Fund was valued at $237,500. It has lost 6% per year for the last 3 years. What is its value today?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is C) $197,263.70

Step-by-step explanation:

It's losing 6% PER year for the last 3 year.

You can do what I did and take $237,500 and times it 0.06. Which should give you 14,250, that is how much is lost in year one.

So subtract 14,250 from 237,500, you should have $223,250 now.

Repeat the first step with $223,250 now, you times it by 0.06 again and you should get 13,395, you subtract that from $223,250.

You have $209,855 now, once again times that by 0.06 and you get 12,591.30. Subtract 12,591.30 from 209,855 and you should end up with $197,263.70

It's a long, simple method and I'm sure there is another method of solving this question, but this is an easy way to get the answer.

Lin counts 5 bacteria under a microscope. She counts them again each day for four days, and finds

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Yes, but it is not linear. It is exponential : $f(x) = 5\cdot 2^{x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day we have 5 bacteria.

On the second day we will have 5*2 = 10 bacteria.

On the third day we will have 10*2 = 5*2*2 = 5*2^2 = 20 bacteria.

On the fourth day we will have 20*2 = 5*2*2*2 = 5*2^3 = 40 bacteria.

We can see that

$f(x) = 5\cdot 2^{x-1}$ ,

where x is a number of days and f(x) gives us the number of bacteria.
