Answer:
part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2
part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4
part C) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).
we know that
The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional
so
Let
z ----> the scale factor
The scale factor is equal to
substitute
simplify
Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?
<em>Area of the small triangle</em>
<em>Area of the large triangle</em>
ratio of the areas (small to large)
Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures
In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p
x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0
x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0
Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,
1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]
2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]
3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].
Discriminant of the given equation =
For real roots,
p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0
p² - 6p + 21 > 0
For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
