Answer: P″(9, -12) and Q″(15, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a figure with coordinate (x,y) dilated by scale factor k , then the coordinates of the image is given by :-

$(x,y)\to(kx,ky)$

Given : The coordinates of vertex P is (3, -4) and Q is (5, -1) .

Triangle PQR is dilated by a scale factor of 1.5 to form triangle P′Q′R′.

Then, the co-ordinates of P' and Q' are given by:-

$P(3,-4)\to P'(1.5\cdot3,\ 1.5\cdot-4)=P'(4.5,\ -6)$

$Q(5,-1)\to Q'(1.5\cdot5,\ 1.5\cdot-1)=P'(7.5,\ -1.5)$

Triangle P′Q′R′ is then dilated by a scale factor of 2 to form triangle P″Q″R″.

Then, the co-ordinates of P" and Q" are given by:-

$P"(4.5,\ -6)\to P"(2\cdot4.5,\ 2\cdot-6)=P"(9,\ -12)$

$Q'(7.5,\ -1.5)\to Q'(2\cdot7.5,\ 2\cdot-1.5)=P'(15,\ -3)$

Hence, the coordinates of vertices P″ and Q″ are P″(9, -12) and Q″(15, -3).

Answer: The correct option is (D) P″(9, -12) and Q″(15, -3).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that triangle PQR is dilated by a scale factor of 1.5 to form triangle P′Q′R′. This triangle is then dilated by a scale factor of 2 to form triangle P″Q″R″.

The co-ordinates of vertices P and Q are (3, -4) and (5, -1) respectively.

We are to find the co-ordinates of the vertices P″ and Q″.

<u>Case I :</u> ΔPQR dilated to ΔP'Q'R'

The co-ordinates of P' and Q' are given by

$P'(3\times 1.5, -4\times 1.5)=P'(4.5, -6),\\\\Q'(5\times 1.5, -1\times 1.5)=Q'(7.5, -1.5).$

<u>Case II :</u> ΔP'Q'R' dilated to ΔP''Q''R''

The co-ordinates of P'' and Q'' are given by

$P''(4.5\times 2, -6\times 2)=P'(9, -12),\\\\Q'(7.5\times 2, -1.5\times 2)=Q'(15, -3).$

Thus, the co-ordinates of the vertices P'' and Q'' are (9, -12) and (15, -3).

Option (D) is CORRECT.

What is the area of the obtuse triangle given below?

Akimi4 [234]

The area of a triangle is 1/2 the base times the height.
The base is 15 and the height is 13.

Area = 1/2 x 15 x 13 = 97.5 sq. units.
The answer is A.

QUICK! 75 POINTS !!Select all that are part of the solution set of csc(x) > 1 and over 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\frac{5\pi}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer uses the unit circle and that sine and cosecant are reciprocals.

The first choice doesn't even fit the criteria that $x$ is between $0$ and $2\pi$ (inclusive of both endpoints) because of the $x=\frac{-7\pi}{6}$ .

Let's check the second choice.

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ since } \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{4})>1 \text{ since } \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}>1$

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{2})=1 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{\pi}{2})=1$ which means $\csc(\frac{\pi}{2})=1$ which is not greater than 1.

So we can eliminate second choice.

Let's look at the third.

$\csc(\frac{5\pi}{6})=2 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{5\pi}{6})=\frac{1}{2}$ which means $\csc(\frac{5\pi}{6})>1$ .

$\csc(\pi)$ isn't defined because $\sin(\pi)=0$ .

So we are eliminating 3rd choice now.

Let's look at the fourth choice.

$\csc(\frac{7\pi}{6})=-2 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{7\pi}{6})=\frac{-1}{2}$ which means $\csc(\frac{7\pi}{6})$ and not greater than 1.

I was looking at the rows as if they were choices.

Let me break up my choices.

So we said $x=-\frac{7\pi}{6}$ doesn't work because it is not included in the inequality $0\le x \le 2\pi$ .

How about $x=0$ ? This leads to $\csc(0)$ which doesn't exist because $\sin(0)=0$ .

So neither of the first two choices on the first row.

Let's look at the second row again.

We said $\frac{\pi}{4}$ worked but not $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Let's look at the choices on the third row.

We said $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ worked but not $x=\pi$

Let's look at at the last choice.

We said it gave something less than 1 so this choice doesn't work.
