The figure has different measure in all their parts, then, it has no reflectional symmetry.
For a point symmetry evey part has matching part, the same distance form a central point but our figure has the same 2 ellipses but with different measure. The figure dont have rotational symmetry because there is a little ellipse in the middle of the others.

• The ratio of ⬛ to △.
First count the number of ⬛ and the number of △ given.
We have:
Number of ⬛ = 45
Number of △ = 81
The ratio of ⬛ to △ = Number of ⬛ : Number of △
= 45 : 81
To Simplify the ratio, divide by the GCF which is 9.
= 45 ÷ 9 : 81÷9 = 5 : 9
Therefore the simplified ratio of ⬛ to △ = 5 : 9
• The ratio of △ to (⬛ + △)
81 : (45 + 81)
= 81 : 126
Simplify the ratio by dividing it with its GCF which is 9:
81 ÷ 9 : 126 ÷ 9 = 9 : 14
Therefore, the simplified ratio of △ to (⬛ + △) = 9 : 14
ANSWER:
⬛ to △ = 45 : 81 Simplified = 5 : 9
△ to (⬛ + △) = 81 : 126 Simplified = 9 : 14
There are currently 400,000 cats in the San Diego area. The number of cats in San Diego increases each year by 2.5 % A) how many cats will there be in the year 2036 ? B) how long will it be before the number of cats doubles ?
Answers
a) 436529 cats b) Approximately 278 years
1) Gathering the data
400,000 cats
Increases yearly by 2.5%
2) Let's write that growth as a function. Note that we must rewrite 2.5% as purely decimal 0.0025. A growth of 2.5 must be written as 1.0025.
Because every time we multiply by 1.0025 we are multiplying the number and 2.5%. Considering that there are currently, in this 1st year 400,000 cats 2036 then this will be 35 years after
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=400000(1.0025)^n \\ y=400000(1.0025)^{35} \\ y=436529.23\text{ }\cong436,529\text{ } \end{gathered}[/tex]So considering we're in the first year, 35 years after in 2036 there'll be 436,529
b) Since n= is the number of years in that function, and y stands for the number of cats.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 800,000=400,000(1.0025)^n \\ \frac{800,000}{400,00}=\frac{400,000}{400,000}(1.0025)^n \\ 2=(1.0025)^n \\ \log 2\text{ =}\log (1.0025)^n \\ 0.3=^{}n1.08\cdot10^{-3} \\ n=\frac{0.3}{1.08\cdot10^{-3}} \\ n=277.8 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]So, it will take at this rate approximately 278 years for the population of cats doubles.

You ordered from an online company. The original price of the item is $65. Theitem is on sale for 10%, and you have a coupon for an additional 15%. Applying onediscount at a time, what is the final price?$46.96$49.73$49.47$45.45
Answers
Given:
The original price, CP=$65.
The initial discount on sale, D1=10%.
The additional discount, D2=15%.
If the cost price(CP) of an item is given, then the selling price after the first discount is applied is,
[tex]SP=CP\times(\frac{1-First\text{ }Discount\text{ Percentage}}{100})[/tex]The additional discount is applied to the price after the first discount is applied. So, the final price after applying the second discount is,
[tex]SP^{\prime}=SP\times(\frac{1-Second\text{ }Discount\text{ Percentage}}{100})[/tex]Applying the first discount on the original price, the selling price is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} SP=CP\times\frac{(100-D1)}{100} \\ =65\times\frac{(100-10)}{100} \\ =58.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Applying the second discount on the selling price, the final selling price is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} SP^{\prime}=SP_{}\times\frac{(100-D2_{})}{100} \\ =58.5_{}\times\frac{(100-15_{})}{100} \\ \cong49.73 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the final price is $49.73.
Note:
The direct formula for the final price if two successive discounts D1 and D2 are applied to a cost price CP is,
[tex]SP=CP\times(\frac{100-D1}{100})(\frac{100-D2}{100})[/tex]When factored completely, which is a factor of 3x3 − 9x2 − 12x A. L(x − 3) B. (x − 4) C. (3x − 1) D. <(3x − 4)

Solution:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x^3-9x^2-12x=3x(\frac{3x^3}{3x}-\frac{9x^2}{3x}-\frac{12x}{3x}) \\ =3x(x^2-3x-4) \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2:
Factorise the quadratic expression in the bracket
[tex]3x(x^2-3x-4)[/tex]By doing this, we will have to look for two factors to multiply to give i4 and if we add them together, we will have -3
The two factors are -4 and +1
therefore,
Replace -3x with -4x + x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x(x^2-3x-4) \\ =3x(x^2-4x_{}+x-4) \\ =3x(x(x-4)+1(x-4) \\ =3x(x+1)(x-4) \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,

What were daily sales when the campaign ended?b. How many days passed after the campaign ended before daily sales were below half of what they were at the end of the campaign?
Answers
Since the given equation is
[tex]S=3800e^{-0.05x}[/tex]S is the amount of the daily sales from ending to x days
Since the form of the exponential function is
[tex]y=ae^x[/tex]Where a is the initial amount (value y at x = 0)
Then 3800 represents the daily sales when x = 0
Since x = 0 at the ending of the campaign, then
a. The daily sales when the campaign ended is $3800
Since the daily sales will be below half $3800 after x days
Then find half 3800, then equate S by it, then find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} S=\frac{1}{2}(3800) \\ S=1900 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]1900=3800e^{-0.05x}[/tex]Divide both sides by 3800
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1900}{3800}=\frac{3800}{3800}e^{-0.05x} \\ \frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.05x} \end{gathered}[/tex]Insert ln for both sides
[tex]\ln (\frac{1}{2})=\ln (e^{-0.05x})[/tex]Use the rule
[tex]\ln (e^n)=n[/tex][tex]\ln (\frac{1}{2})=-0.05x[/tex]Divide both sides by -0.05 to find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\ln (\frac{1}{2})}{-0.05}=\frac{-0.05x}{-0.05} \\ 13.86294=x \end{gathered}[/tex]Since we need it below half 3800, then we round the number up to the nearest whole number
Then x = 14 days
b. 14 days will pass after the campaign ended

The main point in this question, that the distance of the first part = the distance of the second part

[tex]3t_2=6t_1[/tex]Divide both sides by 3
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3t_2}{3}=\frac{6t_1}{3} \\ t_2=2t_1\rightarrow(1) \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the total time of the two parts is 15 hours, then

In triangle PQR, RQ is 4 units and angle P is 29 degrees.
Use the trigonometric ratio of tan to find PR as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan 29=\frac{RQ}{PR} \\ PR=\frac{RQ}{\tan 29} \\ PR=\frac{4}{0.5543090} \\ PR=7.21619 \\ PR\approx7.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the value of PR is 7.2 rounded to one decimal place.

Given:
An aquamum contains dolphins, sharks, and whales. There are twice as many dolphins as whales and 8 fewer sharks than dolphins and whales combined.
Required:
If there are w whales, which of the following represents the number of sharks
Explanation:
The question asks for the correct expression of the number of sharks in terms of whales and dolphins . If w represents the number of whales , then the phrase " twice as many dolphins as whales " means that there are 2w dolphins . Therefore , " dolphins and whales combined " is 2w + w , or 3w . Because there are 8 fewer sharks than dolphins and whales combined , you need to subtract 8 from 3w.
you can also answer this question by using the Picking Numbers strategy . Pick a small , positive number , like 5 , for the number of whales . If there are 5 whales and " twice as many dolphins as whales , " then there must be 10 dolphins . Combine the number of whales and dolphins and subtract 8 from that sum to find the number of sharks : ( 5 + 10 ) -8 = 15-8 = 7 . Plug in w = 5 to determine which answer choice gives you a value of 7
Final answer:
B
7. Solve the following set of equations: 3x - 7y=-4 and 2x - 5y = -3a. (1, 2)b. (2, 1)c. (-2,-1)d. (1, 1)e. (-1,-1)
Answers
We will have the following:
First, we solve both expressions for "y", that is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x-7y=-4\Rightarrow-7y=-3x-4 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{3}{7}x+\frac{4}{7} \\ \\ and \\ \\ 2x-5y=-3\Rightarrow-5y=-2x-3 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we equal both expressions:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{7}x+\frac{4}{7}=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{3}{5}\Rightarrow\frac{1}{35}x=\frac{1}{35} \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we determine the value of y:
[tex]y=\frac{2}{5}(1)+\frac{3}{5}\Rightarrow y=1[/tex]So, the solution is:
[tex](1,1)[/tex]
