What is the translation from quadrilateral EFGH to
quadrilateral E'F’G’H

Answers

Answer:

The translation from quadrilateral EFGH to quadrilateral E'F'G'H' is [tex]T_{(2, -4)}[/tex], which is two units to the right (x direction) and 4 units down (negative y direction)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of quadrilateral EFGH are;

Point E has coordinates (-1, 1)

Point F has coordinates (0, 4)

Point G has coordinates (3, 1)

Point H has coordinates (3, 0)

The coordinates of the translation are;

Point E' has coordinates (0, -3)

Point F' has coordinates (1, 0)

Point G' has coordinates (4, -3)

Point H' has coordinates (4, -4)

The change in the y-coordinate values (y values) are;

From point E to point E', we have;

(-3 - 1) = -4 which is four units down

The change in the x-coordinate values (x values) are;

From point E to point E', we have;

(0 - (-1)) = 2 which is two units to the right

The total change in translation is [tex]T_{(2, -4)}[/tex].

Two factory plants are making TV panels. Yesterday, Plant A produced 5000 fewer panels than Plant B did. Five percent of the panels from Plant A and 2% of the panels from Plant B were defective. How many panels did Plant B produce, if the two plants together produced 450 defective panels

Answers

Answer:

10,000 panels

Step-by-step explanation:

A TV panel is being produced by two factory plants

Plant A produced 5000 fewer panels than plant B

Let a represent the number of panels produced by plant A and b represent the number of panels produced by plant B

a= b-5000............equation 1

5% of the panels from plant A were defective

= 5/100

= 0.05

2% of the panels from plant B were defective

= 2/100

= 0.02

The total defective panels of both plants is 450

0.05a + 0.02b= 450..............equation 2

Substitute b-5000 for a in equation 2

0.05(b-5000) + 0.02b= 450

0.05b - 250 + 0.02b= 450

Collect the like terms

0.05b+0.02b= 450+250

0.07b= 700

Divide both side by the coefficient of b which is 0.07

0.07 b/0.07= 700/0.07

b= 10,000

Hence plant B produced 10,000 panels

Rewrite the given function as an equivalent function containing only cosine terms raised to a power of 1.f(x)=7cos^2x

Answers

Answer:

The angle created between the ladder and tree is [tex]15.5^{0}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The required sketch is shown in the attachment to this answer.

Applying the appropriate trigonometric function to the question, we have;

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent side}[/tex]

         = [tex]\frac{5}{18}[/tex]

         = 0.2777777777

what is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 3x-3y=-45

Answers

x - y = -15
y = x + 15
This means the slope of a line parallel to the given line is 1.

Answer:

The slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope first write the equation in the form

y = mx + c

where m is the slope

c is the y intercept

3x - 3y = -45

3y = 3x + 45

Divide both sides by 3

y = 3/3x + 45/3

y = x + 15

From the equation the slope = 1

Parallel lines have equal slope

So

The line parallel to the above line is also

1

A restaurant catered a party for 40 people. A child’s dinner (c) cost $11 and an adult’s dinner (a) cost $20. The total cost of the dinner was $728. How many children and adults were at the party? Use the table to guess and check. 8 children and 32 adults 9 children and 31 adults 10 children and 30 adults 12 children and 28 adults

Answers

Answer:

x=8 number of children

y=32 number of adults

Step-by-step explanation:

x be children and y for adults

x+y=40 ⇒ y=40-x

11x+20y=728 solve by substitution of y=40-x

11x+20(40-x)=728

11x+800-20x=728

-9x=728-800

x=72/9 ⇒ x=8 number of children

y=40-x

y=40-8⇒ y=32 number of adults

Answers

Answer:

Time taken (t) = 2.67 s (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find:

Time taken (t)

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity(a) = -9.8 m/s²

Distance (d) = -35 m

Computation:

Using 2nd equation of motion,

d = ut + (1/2)at²

-35 = (0)t + (1/2)(-9.8)t²

-35 = -4.9 (t²)

t² = 7.1428

t = 2.6726

Time taken (t) = 2.67 s (Approx)

The function with the greatest output is graph B

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

Explanation:

As the graphs head to the right, they go up forever. However, the growth rate (how fast they go upward) varies. The red straight line (line A) goes up the slowest. The growth rate is the same throughout the entire function. The rate is the slope of the line. In contrast, the purple curve B goes up the fastest as it has the steepest increase among the four graphs. The graph steadily gets steeper as you move to the right.

The exponential graph will grow the fastest compared to a linear one or parabolic one. Graphs B and C are exponential, where graph B has a steeper curve compared to graph C.

We know the volume of a cuboid is the product of its length, breadth, and height or v = l×b×h.

Given, we have two boxes let us denote them by B₁ and B₂ and their respective heights are h₁ and h₂.

To obtain how many times one box is relative to the other we have to equate their respective volumes.

Given, one box has a base that is 10cm by 10 cm and another box has a base that is 5cm by 5cm.

∴ 5×5×h₁ = 10×10×h₂.

25h₁ = 100h₂.

h₁ = 4h₂.

So, h₁ is 4 times taller than h₂.

Answers

Answer:

210

Note: this answer might be incorrect because of the value of music (212). This doesn't make logical sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

This question can easily be solved through the use of a venn diagram.

Total number of students = 55

Number of medals in sport = 40 = A

Number of medals in dance = 25 = B

Number of medals in music = 212 = C

Number of students that got award in the three categories = (AnBnC) = 6

n(AuBuC) = 55

n(AnB) + n(BnC) + n(AnC) - 3n(AnBnC) =

n(AnB) + n(AnB) + n(AnC) -3×6 ......equation (i)

n(AuBuC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(AnB) - n(BnC) - n(AnC) + n(AnBnC)

Therefore,

n(AnB) + n(BnC) + n(AnC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) + n(AnBnC) - n(AuBuC)

n(A) + n(B) + n(C) + n(AnBnC) - n(AuBuC) - 18

40 + 25 + 212 + 6 - 55 - 18 = 210

$2400 is divided between two accounts. One account pays 2% interest, while the other account pays 3.5% interest. At the end of one interest period, the interest earned is $81. How much was invested in each account?

Answers

Answer:

$200 at 2%.

$2200 at 3.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two amounts be x and y.

x earns 2% interest, and y earns 3.5% interest.

Since the total is $2400, then

x + y = 2400

Now we can solve for y and express the second amount in terms of x.

y = 2400 - y

The two amounts are x and 2400 - x.

In one interest period, the amount of interest earned is the amount of money in the account multiplied by the interest.

2% = 0.02; 3.5% = 0.035

The x amount earns 0.02x interest.

The y amount earns 0.035y interest.

The total interest earned is the sum of the interest amounts of the two accounts.

0.02x + 0.035y

We now replace y with 2400 - x, and we set the sum of the interest amounts equal to the total interest earned, $81.

0.02x + 0.035(2400 - x) = 81

The equation above is the linear equation.

Now we solve it. Distribute on the left side.

0.02x + 84 - 0.035x = 81

Combine like terms on the left side.

-0.015x + 84 = 81

Subtract 84 from both sides.

-0.015x = -3

Divide both side by -0.015.

x = 200

$200 was deposited in the account earning 2%.

y = 2400 - x

y = 2400 - 200

y = 2200

$2200 was deposited in the account earning 3.5%.
