A covered bridge is 8 yards long. In a painting for sale at a gallery, the bridge in the painting to the actual length of the bridge. One salesperson says the ratio in simplest form is 5/8. Another salesperson says the ratio in simplest form is 5/24. Which ratio is correct? What error leads to the incorrect ratio?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio that is correct is 5/24.

The error that leads to the incorrect ratio is working with the different units of length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A covered bridge is 8 yards long. In a painting for sale at a​ gallery, the bridge is 5 feet long. A customer wants to know the ratio of the length of the bridge in the painting to the actual length of the bridge. One salesperson says the ratio in simplest form is 5/8 Another salesperson says the ratio in simplest form is 5/24 Which ratio is​ correct? What error leads to the incorrect​ ratio?

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

A covered bridge is 8 yards long and in a painting at the gallery, the bridge is 5 feet long.

To determine the ratio of the length of the bridge in the painting to the actual length of the bridge,

First, we will convert both lengths to the same unit and then divide the length of the bridge in the painting by the actual length of the bridge.

Convert 8 yards to feet

1 yard = 3 feet

∴ 8 yards = (8 × 3) feet = 24 feet

The actual length of the bridge is 24 feet

The length of the bridge in the painting is 5 feet

Hence, the ratio of the length of the bridge in the painting to the actual length of the bridge is 5 feet ÷ 24 feet = 5/24

Hence, the ratio that is correct is 5/24.

The error that leads to the incorrect ratio is working with the different units of length (that is, not converting both length to the same unit before determining the ratio).

Which recursive formula can be used to determine the total amount of money earned in any year based on the amount earned in the previous year?

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 5
f(n + 1) = 5f(n)
f(n + 1) = 1.05f(n)
f(n + 1) = 0.05f(n)

Answers

Answer:

f(n + 1) = 1.05f(n)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of money earned in any year based on the amount earned in the previous year is f(n+1) = 1.05f(n).

What is annual interest rate?  

The interest rate is the amount a lender charges a borrower and is a percentage of the principal—the amount loaned.

What is principal?

Principal is the money that you originally agreed to pay back. Interest is the cost of borrowing the principal.

According to the question,

The annual interest rate is 5%

So, suppose the amount earned in the previous year is f(n).

The total amount of money earned in any year based on the amount earned in the previous year is

f(n+1) = f(n) + 5%f(n)                 (principal + interest)

f(n+1) = 1.05f(n)    

Hence, the total amount of money earned in any year based on the amount earned in the previous year is f(n+1) = 1.05f(n).

determine if the equation y=2/7x represents a direct variation

Answers

Answer:

Represents a direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2/7x

To find x-intercept/zero, substitute

y = 0

0 = 2/7x

Multiply both sides of the equation by 7/2

0 = x

Swap the sides of the equation

x = 0

Solution

x = 0

This is a direct variation because when x = 0. Y has to = 0 as well and it is so that makes this equation a direct variation.

direct variation - mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other

∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left. Then it is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form ∆A′B′C′. The coordinates of vertex A′ of ∆A′B′C′ are . The coordinates of vertex B′ of ∆A′B′C′ are . The coordinates of vertex C′ of ∆A′B′C′ are .

Answers

Answer:

A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, dilation and translation.

If a point X(x, y) is translated a units right and b units down, the new location is X'(x + a, y + b) whereas if a point X(x, y) is translated a units left and b units up, the new location is X'(x - a, y - b).

If a point X(x, y) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is X'(y, -x)

From the image attached, ∆ABC is at A(0, 0), B(1,3) C(1, 1)

If ∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left (x - 1, y - 2), the vertices would be A*(-1, -2), B*(0, 1), C*(0, -1)

If it is then rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

Answer:

The coordinates of vertex A′ of ∆A′B′C′ are  (-2, 1) .

The coordinates of vertex B′ of ∆A′B′C′ are  (1, 0) .

The coordinates of vertex C′ of ∆A′B′C′ are  (-1, 0) .

Subtract 6 from both sides:

4b = 2 - b - 2

Subtract 2 from two, and get 0.

4b = -b

this means that the only possible case where the equation is satisfied is when b = 0, because -0 is 0, and 4x0 is still 0.
