Assume that the initial coordinates are (x,y) and that the dilated coordinates are (x',y').

The dilation is therefore:
(x,y) ............> (x',y')

Now, let's assume that the dilation factor is k.
Therefore:
x' = kx
y' = ky

Based on the above, all the student has to do is get the initial coordinates and the final ones and then substitute in any of the above two equations to get the value of k.

Example:
Assume an original point at (2,4) is dilated to coordinates (4,8). Find the dilation factor.
Assume the dilation coefficient is k.
(x,y) are (2,4) and (x',y') are (4,8)
Therefore:
x' = kx .........> 4 = k*2 ..........> k = 2
or:
y' = ky ..........> 8 = k*4 .........> k = 2
Based on the above, the dilation coefficient would be 2.

Hope this helps :)

Sample Response: Locate two corresponding ordered pairs of the two shapes. Calculate how much the pre-image values were multiplied by to obtain the image values. This is your scale factor. You can calculate this by dividing the coordinates of the mage by the corresponding coordinates of the pre-image.

Barrett works at an ice cream shop. The function f(x) represents the amount of money PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oee [108]

Answer:

f(g(x))=6x^3+4, it is the amount of money earned per number of hours of work, x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two functions:

f(x)=2x^2 +4

This function represents the amount of money (the earning) per unit x

Then we have the function

g(x)=\sqrt{3x^3}

which represents the number of gallons of ice cream that Barrett makes per hour, where x is the number of hours he works.

Here we want to find the composite function

f(g(x))

which means that we use the output of g(x) as input for f(x). In this context, this means that the function f(g(x)) represents the amount of money earned per number of hours of work, x.

Substituting g(x) into the x of f(x), we find:

f(g(x))=2(g(x))^2+4=2(\sqrt{3x^3})^2+4=2(3x^3)+4=6x^3+4

What is 6 ones 7 hundredths -2.3
zmey [24]

6 ones 7 hundredths -2.3

We make a place chart for 6 ones 7 hundredths. We write 0 in the remaining place value.

Hundred     tens    Ones   point     tenths     hundredths       thousandths

  0                0          6            .             0             7                             0

6 one 7 hundredths is 6.07

Now subtract 2.3 from 6.07

6.07 - 2.3 = 3.77

Answer : 3.77
