On a coordinate plane, an image has points (negative 2, 2), (0, 2), (2, 0), (0, negative 2), (negative 2, negative 2).
Use the image shown and a scale factor of 1/2 to find the pre-image. Which is the pre-image of A’?
If the scale factor is 1/2. Then the coordinate of the pre-image will be (-1, 1), (0, 1), (1, 0), (0, -1), and (-1, -1).
What is a transformation of geometry?A spatial transformation is each mapping of feature shapes to itself, and it maintains some spatial correlation between figures.
Dilation does not change the shape, but changes the size of the geometry.

O
O Last year all of their clients made a profit of more than 2%.
Last year, the number of their clients who made a profit of

The statements that are true based on the information are:
1. Last year at least one of their clients made a profit of exactly 10%.
3. Last year some of their clients made a profit of 10% or more.
Options 1 and 3 are the correct answer.
We have,
1. Last year at least one of their clients made a profit of exactly 10%.
- True.
The investment company advertised that, on average, their clients made a profit of 10%.
This means there must be some clients who made exactly 10% profit.
2. Two years ago some of their clients made a profit of at least 10%.
Not enough information is given to determine the accuracy of this statement.
The information provided only refers to last year's profits, not profits from two years ago.
3. Last year some of their clients made a profit of 10% or more.
- True.
The average profit of the clients was 10%, indicating that some clients made a profit of 10% or more.
4. Last year all of their clients made a profit of more than 2%.
- Not necessarily true.
The average profit was 10%, but this does not guarantee that all clients made a profit greater than 2%.
Some clients might have made less than 2% or even incurred losses.
5. Last year, the number of their clients who made a profit of 10% or less was equal to the number of their clients who made a profit of 10% or more.
- Not enough information is given to determine the accuracy of this statement.
The average profit of 10% does not tell us about the distribution of profits among clients to make this comparison.

Which x-value is in the domain of the function f (x) = 4cot(2x) + 3?

pi over 2
π
Answer: pi/3
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the other answers are asymptotes of the function, which by definition means they are not included in the domain, because they are undefined in the domain at that point. If you graph the function and graph all of those x values, you will see that (pi/3) is the only line that crosses the function.
Also, I took the test and got it right.
Only the value of x , [tex]\frac{\pi }{3}[/tex] is in the domain of the function.
What is domain of a function?The domain of a function is the set of values that we are allowed to plug into our function which makes the function defined.
What are the trigonometric functions?The trigonometric functions are also called the angle functions, which relates the angles and the ratios of the sides of a right angle triangle.
According to the given question.
We have a trigonomtery function.
[tex]f(x) = 4cot(2x)+3[/tex]
The above trigonometry function can be written as
[tex]f(x) = 4\frac{cos(2x)}{sin(2x)} + 3[/tex]
For the function to be defined the denominator can't be zero.
[tex]sin(2x) \neq 2n\pi ( n \in0, 1, 2, 3, ..)[/tex]
Therefore, from the given values for the x we can only put [tex]\frac{\pi }{3}[/tex] in the given function because [tex]\frac{\pi }{2}[/tex] makes the denominator o which makes the function undefined. Similarly for the π also.
Hence, only the value of x , [tex]\frac{\pi }{3}[/tex] is in the domain of the function.

What is invested amount?An investment is a payment made to acquire the securities of other firms with the intention of making a profit.
We are assuming the interest will be compounded annually
[tex]\rm A = P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where A = Final amount
P = Principal amount
r = annual rate of interest
n = how many times interest is compounded per year
t = How long the money is deposited or borrowed (in years)
We have:
P = $7000
r = 3% = 0.03
t = 10 years

Which graph represents the function f(x)=2·4^x?
Answer:
A (top left)
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the dot is multiplying the numbers, we get the function:
[tex]f(x) = 8^{x}[/tex]
First, lets knock off the obviously wrong answers.
Substitute 0 into the x spot, as anything to the power of zero is one.
[tex]f(0) = 8^{0}=1[/tex]
Automatically, the two answers on the right are incorrect, as y is not equal to 1 when x is 0.
Next, lets substitute 1 into the x spot, as anything to the power of one is itself.

According to American Airlines, flight 71098 from New York to Los Angeles is on time 88.9% of the time. Assume that we randomly select 150 flights, use the normal approximation to the binomial to do the following:
a) approximately the probability that exactly 124 flights are on time.
b) approximate the probability that between 113 and 130 flights ,inclusive, are on time.
Using the normal approximation to the binomial, it is found that the probabilities are given as follows:
a) 0.0055 = 0.55%.
b) 0.2296 = 22.96%.
Normal Probability DistributionThe z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with [tex]\mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex].The parameters of the binomial distribution are given as follows:
n = 150, p = 0.889.
Hence the mean and the standard deviation of the approximation are:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 150 x 0.889 = 133.35[/tex].[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{150(0.889)(0.111)} = 3.8473[/tex]Item a:
Using continuity correction, the probability is P(123.5 < X < 124.5), which is the p-value of Z when X = 124.5 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 123.5, hence:
X = 124.5:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{124.5 - 133.35}{3.8473}[/tex]
Z = -2.3
Z = -2.3 has a p-value of 0.0107.
X = 123.5:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{123.5 - 133.35}{3.8473}[/tex]
Z = -2.56
Z = -2.56 has a p-value of 0.0052.
Hence the probability is 0.0107 - 0.0052 = 0.0055 = 0.55%.
Item b:
The probability is P(112.5 < X < 130.5), which is the p-value of Z when X = 130.5 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 112.5, hence:
X = 130.5:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{130.5 - 133.35}{3.8473}[/tex]
Z = -0.74
Z = -0.74 has a p-value of 0.2296.
X = 112.5:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{112.5 - 133.35}{3.8473}[/tex]
Z = -5.42
Z = -5.42 has a p-value of 0.
Hence the probability is 0.2296 - 0 = 0.2296 = 22.96%.

Explanation:
In matrix A, the upper left corner is -3
Multiply this with -7 to get -7*(-3) = 21
So we'll have 21 in the upper left corner of matrix -7A. The other entries will be handled in a similar fashion.
Meanwhile, the upper left corner of matrix B is 9. Multiply this with -4 to get 9(-4) = -36 which is the upper left corner entry of matrix -4B
Combine those products: 21 + (-36) = -15
The number -15 is the upper left corner entry in matrix -7A-4B

Which statement is true about the end behavior of the
graphed function?
As the x-values go to positive infinity, the function's
values go to negative infinity.
As the x-values go to zero, the function's values go
to positive infinity.
As the x-values go to negative infinity, the function's
values are equal to zero.
As the x-values go to positive infinity, the function's
values go tO positive infinity.
Answer:
As the x-values go to positive infinity, the function's
values go to negative infinity.
Step-by-step explanation:
upon viewing the graph you will notice that the function in blue will appear to go down (negative) as you follow the x to the right, in the positive direction.
Making your answer to be as the x goes to positive inf (right) the values of the function go to negative inf (down).
