Polygon Q is a scaled copy of polygon P using a scale factor of 1/2. Polygon Q's area is what fraction of Polygon P's area.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

======================================================

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.

Choose the correct answer below

O A. The student did not put the polynomial in ascending order of the degrees of the terms before naming it by the first term. It is a linear trinomial.

O B. The student did not combine like terms before naming the polynomial. It is a degree-8 polynomial.

O C. The student did not put the polynomial in standard form before naming it by the first term. It is a fourth-degree trinomial.

OD. The student did not put the polynomial in standard form before naming it by the first term. It is a quadratic trinomial.

Answers

Answer:

C. The student did not put the polynomial in standard form before naming it by the first term. It is a fourth-degree trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

A trinomial is a polynomial with three variables. The polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x has three variables hence it is a trinomial.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of a variable in a polynomial equation.

The polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x can be arranged as The polynomial 5x⁴ - 2x³ - 3x, hence the variable with the highest degree is 5x⁴ which has a degree of 4.

Therefore The polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x  has a degree of 4

This means the polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x is a trinomial with a degree of 4

What is the equation of a sine function with an amplitude of 2 and a period of 4

Answers

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we need to know the standard form of a sine function and the meaning of each part.

Standard form: [tex]y=asin[b(x-h)]+k[/tex]

a=amplitude

b=period

h=phase shift

k=vertical replacement/shifting

Now that we know the standard form and the components, we know that we can forget about k and plug in 0 for h. This would leave us with [tex]y=asin[b(x)][/tex]. We know that the amplitude is 2, therefore, a=2. To find the period, you divide 2π by the given period. [tex]\frac{2\pi }{b} =\frac{2\pi }{4\pi } =\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex], therefore, b=1/2.

[tex]y=asin[b(x)][/tex]             [plug in a=2]

[tex]y=2sin[b(x)][/tex]             [plug in b=1/2]

[tex]y=2sin(\frac{1}{2}x)[/tex]

Therefore, C is the correct answer.

The length of XY is 24 centimeters. The midpoint of XY is M, and C is on XM so that XD is 2/3 of XM. Point D is on MY so that MD is 3/4 of MY. What is the length of CD?

The length of CD is centimeters​

Answers

Answer:

  CD = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you intend XC = 2/3 of XM, since XD cannot be that fraction of XM.

__

Of course XM = MY = 12, since M is the midpoint of a segment 24 cm long. Then 2/3 of XM is 8 cm, and 3/4 of MY is 9 cm.

  CD = CM + MD = 4 cm + 9 cm

  CD = 13 cm

The probability that all 4 cards are picture cards is  0.00183

How many kinds are in a deck of 52?

A standard 52-card deck comprises 13 ranks in each of the four French suits: clubs (♣), diamonds (♦), hearts (♥) and spades (♠). Each suit includes three court cards (face cards), King, Queen and Jack, with reversible (double-headed) images.

as, we know

A face card is any of the twelve cards in a deck which has a picture of a face. The face cards are kings, queens, and jacks.

So, the possibilities to get a picture card is are 3*4=12.

Now, he probability that all 4 cards are picture cards

=(12/52) * (11/51) * (10/50) * (9/49)

Answer:

75/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

8×4 - 5 (3 + 1/5 - (2 + 1/2)) + (4 - 1)^2

Put 2 + 1/2 over the common denominator 2. 2 + 1/2 = (2×2)/2 + 1/2:

8×4 - 5 (3 + 1/5 - (2×2)/2 + 1/2) + (4 - 1)^2

2×2 = 4:

8×4 - 5 (3 + 1/5 - (4/2 + 1/2)) + (4 - 1)^2

4/2 + 1/2 = (4 + 1)/2:

8×4 - 5 (3 + 1/5 - (4 + 1)/2) + (4 - 1)^2

4 + 1 = 5:

8×4 - 5 (3 + 1/5 - 5/2) + (4 - 1)^2

Put 3 + 1/5 - 5/2 over the common denominator 10. 3 + 1/5 - 5/2 = (10×3)/10 + 2/10 + (5 (-5))/10:

8×4 - 5(10×3)/10 + 2/10 + (5 (-5))/10 + (4 - 1)^2

10×3 = 30:

8×4 - 5 (30/10 + 2/10 + (5 (-5))/10) + (4 - 1)^2

5 (-5) = -25:

8×4 - 5 (30/10 + 2/10 + (-25)/10) + (4 - 1)^2

30/10 + 2/10 - 25/10 = (30 + 2 - 25)/10:

8×4 - 5(30 + 2 - 25)/10 + (4 - 1)^2

30 + 2 = 32:

The gcd of -5 and 10 is 5, so (-5×7)/10 = ((5 (-1)) 7)/(5×2) = 5/5×(-7)/2 = (-7)/2:

8×4 + (-1×7)/2 + (4 - 1)^2

4 - 1 = 3:

8×4 = 32:

The temperature in Miami, Florida is 22 degrees warmer than three times the temperature in Bangor, Maine. The temperature in Miami is 82 degrees. Write an equation to determine the temperature in Bangor.

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the temperatures of Miami and Bangor be M and B degrees respectively.

According to the given information:

M = 3B + 22... (required equation)

Plug M = 82

82 = 3B + 22

82 - 22 = 3B

60 = 3B

B = 60/3

B = 20 degrees

Thus, the temperature in Bangor is 20 degrees.

The required temperature in Bangor is 52 degrees and the required equation is 82 = 3B + - 22.

Given that,
The temperature in Miami, Florida is 22 degrees warmer than three times the temperature in Bangor, Maine.
The temperature in Miami is 82 degrees.
An equation to determine the temperature in Bangor is to be determined.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements. There are four major arithmetic operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division,

Here,
Let the temperature in Bangor be B
The temperature in Miami is 82 degrees.
The temperature in Miami, Florida is 22 degrees warmer than three times the temperature in Bangor. Implies,

When the two lines lie in the same plane then they are said to be parallel lines.

Given information:

Planes X and Y intersect at a right angle.

Lies in plane X and do not intersect.

A) Line AB and Line CG are parallel: As both lines, AB and CG lie in plane X. Thus both are parallel and options A is the correct option.

B) Line AB and Line RS are parallel: As the line, AB lies in the plane X and the line RS lies in the plane Y. Thus both are perpendicular and not parallel. Option B is the incorrect option.

C)Line CG and Line RS are perpendiculars: As the line CG lies in the plane x and the line RS lies in the plane Y. Thus both are perpendicular. Option C is the correct option.

D) Line AB and Line RS must intersect: line RS passes from the middle of the plane Y and line AB passes from the left of the plane X centre. Thus they do not intersect each other. Option D is the incorrect option.

E) Line segment CG lies in plane X: As shown in the diagram, line CG lies in plane X. Thus option E is the correct option.

F) Line segment RS lies in plane X: As shown in the diagram, and the line lies RS in plane Y. Thus option F is the incorrect option.
