∆JKL has vertices J(25,25), K (15,10), and L (20,10). What are the vertices of the image after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/5 using the origin as the center of dilation

9514 1404 393

  J'(5, 5), K'(3, 2), L'(4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each individual coordinate value is multiplied by the scale factor.

  (x, y) ⇒ (x/5, y/5)

  J(25, 25) ⇒ J'(5, 5)

  K(15, 10) ⇒ K'(3, 2)

  L(20, 10) ⇒ L'(4, 2)

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
