Solution:

Given the triangle ABC as shown below:

To draw the image,

step 1: Determine the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.

In the above graph,

[tex]\begin{gathered} A(6,7) \\ B(9,9) \\ C(8,6) \end{gathered}[/tex]

step 2: Evaluate the new coordinates A'B'C' of the triangle after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 2.

After a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 2, the iniatial coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are multiplid by 2.

Thus,

[tex]\begin{gathered} A(6,7)\to A^{\prime}(12,14) \\ B(9,9)\to B^{\prime}(18,18) \\ C(8,6)\to C^{\prime}(16,12) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Erin is buying produce at a store. She buys c cucumbers at $0.89 each and a apples at $0.99 each. What does the expression 0.89c + 0.99a represent? The expression represents the

Answers

One cucumber costs $0.89, so with Erin buys "c" cucumbers, the price he will pay for the cucumbers is the unitary price (0.89) times the number of cucumbers ("c"), so the price is 0.89c.

One apple costs $0.99, so with Erin buys "a" apples, the price he will pay for the apples is the unitary price (0.99) times the number of apples ("a"), so the price is 0.99a.

Then, to find the final price Erin will pay, we just need to sum both prices: all the cucumbers and all the apples:

Final price = 0.89c + 0.99a

So the expression represents the final price (or cost) Erin will pay for all products.

please help ………………. …………. ………… i already have the answer for part A but im having trouble with Parts B and C

Answers

In part B we must perform the following operation:

[tex](5a^3+4a^2-3a+2)+(a^3-3a^2+3a-9)[/tex]

The key here is to group the terms according to the power of a they have:

[tex](5a^3+4a^2-3a+2)+(a^3-3a^2+3a-9)=(5a^3+a^3)+(4a^2-3a^2)+(-3a+3a)+(2-9)[/tex]

Then, we can use the distributive property of the multiplication but in reverse:

[tex]b\cdot a+c\cdot a=(b+c)\cdot a[/tex]

If we do this in each of the terms between parenthesis we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (5a^3+a^3)+(4a^2-3a^2)+(-3a+3a)+(2-9)= \\ =(5+1)a^3+(4-3)a^2+(-3+3)a-7 \\ (5+1)a^3+(4-3)a^2+(-3+3)a-7=6a^3+a^2-7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then the answer for part B is:

[tex]6a^3+a^2-7[/tex]

In part C we must simplify:

[tex](4y^3-2y+9)-(2y^3-3y^2+4y+7)[/tex]

Here is important to remember that a negative sign before a parenthesis means that you have to change the sign of all the terms inside it. Then we have:

[tex](4y^3-2y+9)-(2y^3-3y^2+4y+7)=4y^3-2y+9-2y^3+3y^2-4y-7[/tex]

Now we can do the same thing we did in part B, we group the terms according to the powers of y:

[tex]4y^3-2y+9-2y^3+3y^2-4y-7=(4y^3-2y^3)+3y^2+(-2y-4y)+(9-7)[/tex]

Then we apply the distributive property in reverse:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (4y^3-2y^3)+3y^2+(-2y-4y)+(9-7)=(4-2)y^3+3y^2+(-2-4)y+2 \\ (4-2)y^3+3y^2+(-2-4)y+2=2y^3+3y^2-6y+2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then the answer for part C is:

solve 6 + 5 on the sqr root of 249 - 2x = 7

Answers

ANSWER

x = 124

EXPLANATION

First we have to clear the term that contains x in the equation. In this case, this term is the second term. So we have tu subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6-6+\sqrt[5]{249-2x}=7-6 \\ \sqrt[5]{249-2x}=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, we have to eliminate the root. Note that in the expression inside the root there are two terms. To do this, we have to apply the "opposite" operation on both sides of the equation, which in this case is exponent 5:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (\sqrt[5]{249-2x})^5=1^5 \\ 249-2x=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we do something similar to the first step. We want to leave on one side of the equation only the term that contains x and the rest on the other side. To do this we can either add 2x on both sides, or subtract 249 from both sides. We'll apply the first option because then we'll have a positive coefficient for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 249-2x+2x=1+2x \\ 249=1+2x \end{gathered}[/tex]

However, we now have to subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 249-1=1-1+2x \\ 248=2x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Finally, to find x, we have to divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{248}{2}=\frac{2x}{2} \\ 124=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the solution to the equation is x = 124.

Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. Determined to discover if dragons could have actually existed, I set out on a quest for facts.2As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not and did not exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they were too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.3I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I read more about dragons. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found notes about dragons in old legal papers and in the travel logs of people like Marco Polo. Dragons were also mentioned in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.4With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.5I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.(( I need till tomorrow pls write an effective summary of the story.)) I will give brainliest if it's correct.
