MATH 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Horse Length, Flat Tax
Document Summary
Math 110 lecture 9 scale factors. The model for scale factors: y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. Understanding the different scale factor models a) b) In the line y = 2x, 2 is the constant of proportionality. In the flat tax example, t = r x (s e) T = flat tax (doesn"t change) r = income tax rate and constant of proportionality s = salary. A square with sides 8 long has a diagonal of 11. 3 . Figure out how long the diagonal of a square is with sides that are 10 long. Plug the numbers for the size of each square into the linear equation. To solve for d2, we need to get that variable alone. We do this by multiplying both sides by 11. 3. Therefore, the diagonal of a 10 square is 14. 125 . Is the square of the linear scale factor for geometrically similar objects.
