It should be noted that mathematical transformations involve changing an image in some prescribed manner.
What is a transformation?Your information is incomplete. An overview will be given. A transformation is a general term for the specific ways to manipulate the shape and/or position of a point, a line, or geometric figure.
It should be noted that the original shape of the object is called the pre-Image and the final shape and position of the object is the image under the transformation.
There are four main types of transformations: translation, rotation, reflection and dilation. Also, in geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other

Below is the market for funnel cakes at a small community fair.
a) what is the equilibrium price and quantity of the funnel cakes?
b) What is the total consumer spending on funnel cakes at the equilibrium point?
c) Calculate the producer surplus and consumer surplus at equilibrium. Show your work.
d) What would be the result if the suppliers charged $6? Explain.
e) Cheese pretzels are substitute good for funnel cakes at the same fair. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the market for cheese pretzels. Shade the area of consumer surplus.
f) A large number of new guests enter the fair. Illustrate the effect of this change on the same graph from part E.
g) does the consumer surplus increase, decrease, or stay the same as a result of the change from part F? Explain.
h) A new cheese pretzel stand opens at the same fair. On a new graph, illustrate the market for cheese pretzels at this fair before and after the new stand opened.
i) if the large number of new guests entering the fair happened at the same time that the new cheese pretzel stand open how would the equilibrium price and quantity for cheese pretzels change? Explain.
From the graph given, the equilibrium price and quantities are given respectively as;
Price = $5Quantity = 6 units of funnel cakes.What is the total consumer spending on funnel cakes at the equilibrium point?The total consumer spending(TCS) is achieved by finding the product of the price and the quantities at the equilibrium point.
Hence,
TCS = 5 * 6
= 60
A) The producer surplus is the area of the triangle shaded yellow in the attached image.
Recall that he area of triangle is:
1/2 b * h
b = 4
h = 6
Hence Area of the RA-Triangle (Producer Surplus) =
1/2 * 4 * 6
= 12
B) The Consumer surplus is the area of the triangle shaded Green in the attached image.
Recall that the area of triangle is:
1/2 b * h
b = 4
h = 6
Hence Area of the RA-Triangle (Consumer Surplus) =
1/2 * 4 * 6
= 12
What would be the result if the suppliers charged $6?
If the suppliers charged $6, then the quantity demanded would drop to 4 units of funnel cakes. It is demonstrated graphically. Recall that the law of demand and supply indicates that when prices goes up, demand comes down and vice versa.
Graph II illustrates what would happen if a large number of guests entered the fair. It would result to a right-ward shift in the demand curve.
Does the consumer surplus increase, decrease, or stay the same as a result of the change from part F?Yes, there is an increase in the consumer surplus. Now there are more consumers hence the total amount they are willing to pay as an aggregate sum has increased from what was.

Answer:1+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segment Z E is the angle bisector of AngleYEX and the perpendicular bisector of Line segment G F. Line segment G X is the angle bisector of AngleYGZ and the perpendicular bisector of Line segment E F. Line segment F Y is the angle bisector of AngleZFX and the perpendicular bisector of Line segment E G. Point A is the intersection of Line segment E Z, Line segment G X, and Line segment F Y.
Triangle G E F has angles with different measures. Point A is at the center. Lines are drawn from the points of the triangle to point A. Lines are drawn from point A to the sides of the triangle to form right angles and line segments A X, A Z, and A Y.
Which must be true?
Point A is the center of the circle that passes through points E, F, and G but is not the center of the circle that passes through points X, Y, and Z.
Point A is the center of the circle that passes through points X, Y, and Z but is not the center of the circle that passes through points E, F, and G.
Point A is the center of the circle that passes through points E, F, and G and the center of the circle that passes through points X, Y, and Z.
Point A is not necessarily the center of the circle that passes through points E, F, and G or the center of the circle that passes through points X, Y, and Z
The correct option that depicts the centroid of the triangle is; C. Point A is the center of the circle that passes that passes through the points E, F and G and is the center of the circle that passes through the points X, Y and Z.
How to interpret the segments formed from Triangle Centroid?The center of inscribed circle into the triangle is the point where the angle bisectors of the triangle meet.
The center of the circumscribed circle over the triangle is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides meet.
Line segments ZE, FY and GX are both angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors of the sides. Thus, the point of intersection of line segments ZE, FY and GX is the center of inscribed circle into the triangle and the center of the circumscribed circle over the triangle.
Inscribed circle passes through the points X, Y and Z. Circumscribed circle passes through the points E, F and G. So, point A is the center of the circle that passes that passes through the points E, F and G and is the center of the circle that passes through the points X, Y and Z.
Thus, the correct option is option C. Point A is the center of the circle that passes that passes through the points E, F and G and is the center of the circle that passes through the points X, Y and Z.

A square is folded into half to form a rectangle as shown below. The perimeter of the rectangle is 36 cm.
Calculate the area of the square.
Answer: 144 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle's length is twice as long as it's width as the square is folded in half. Let's say that the width's length is x, we get the equation
x + 2x + x + 2x = 36
6x = 36
x = 6 cm
The length of the rectangle is the length of the square which is 2x = 2 * 6 = 12 cm
So the area of the square is 12 * 12 = 144 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

The lifetime of a certain type of battery is normally distributed with mean value 13 hours and standard deviation 1 hour. There are nine batteries in a package. What lifetime value (in hours) is such that the total lifetime of all batteries in a package exceeds that value for only 5% of all packages
The lifetime of the batteries in a package is 14.31 hours which exceeds that value for only 5% of all packages.
Give sample mean of 13 hours and standard deviation of 1 hour and sample size is 9.
We have to apply t test in this because the value of n which is sample size is less than 30.
We have been given the p value of the required mean so we have to find the t value for this with degree of freedom (9-1)=8
t value=2.306.
We know that
t=X bar-μ/s/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]
s/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]=1/[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]=0.57
Put all the values in the above formula to calculate required mean.
2.306=X bar-13/0.57
X bar=1.31442+13
=14.31442
after rounding off we get
X bar=14.31
Hence the lifetime of the batteries is 14.31 for which the percentage exceeds 5%.

we have to find the total area of given figure.
Here a= 10 and h= 11
So, we use the formula is A = a(a + √((a)^2 + 4(h)^2))
where the a represent the base of given solid or sides of the equilateral triangle
And h represent the slant height of the solid.
So, Substitute the values in above formula then
A = 10(10 + √((10)^2 + 4(11)^2))
A = 10(10 + √((100 + 4(121))
A = 10(10 + √(100 + 484)

The diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet what is the value of x?
The value of x is 4.
Given that diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet as shown in the attached figure.
The diagonal of a rectangle is a line or straight line that connects the opposite corners or vertices of the rectangle.
In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle.
OA=2x+1 and OD=x+5 [Given]
AC and BD are diagonals of a rectangle.
As we know that the diagonals of a rectangle are always equal.
So, AC = BD
We can also write it as,
2×OA=2×OD
2×(2x+1) =2×(x+5)
Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac, we get
4x+2=2x+10
Subtract 2x from both sides, we get
4x+2-2x=2x+10-2x
2x+2=10
Subtract 2 from both sides, we get
2x+2-2=10-2
2x=8
Divide both sides by 2, we get
2x/x=8/2

The official height to width ratio of the United States flag is 1:1.9 If a United States flag is 6 feet high, how wide is it?
Answer:
11.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
1/1.9 = h/w (h= height, w=width)
Solving for w, gives you the formula
w = (1.9)h
This means the width is 1.9 times the height.
Use the formula to find the width where the height is 6 feet.
h = 6
w = (1.9)(6) = 11.4
The width is 11.4 feet.

This Bay store can also be described as a big box retailer store.
Big Box Retailer
A big box retailer is a physically enormous retail store that is typically a component of a chain of stores (also known as a hyper store, supercenter, superstore, or megastore). By extension, the phrase, big box retailer can also refer to the business that runs the store.
The Bay Store as a Big Box
There are numerous retail chains that only operate in Canada, aside from the large American big box retailer stores like Walmart Canada and the formerly-existent Target Canada. These include places like Hudson's Bay by Home Outfitters, Loblaws by Real Canadian Superstore, Rona, Winners by HomeSense, Canadian Tire by Mark's & Sport Chek, Shoppers Drug Mart, Chapters by Indigo Books and Music, Sobeys, and several others.

The sequence$$1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,2,\dots$$consists of $1$'s separated by blocks of $2$'s with $n$ $2$'s in the $n^{\rm{th}}$ block. What is the sum of the first $1234$ terms of this sequence
Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.
block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2
block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3
block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4
block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5
and so on.
Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^j i = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + j = \frac{j(j+1)}2 \implies \sum_{i=2}^j = \frac{j(j+1) - 2}2[/tex]
Now,
[tex]1234 = \dfrac{j(j+1)-2}2 \implies 2470 = j(j+1) \implies j\approx49.2016[/tex]
which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.
In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^48 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} i = 48+\frac{48(48+1)}2 = 1224[/tex]
numbers, and their sum is
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{48} 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} 2i = 48 + 48(48+1) = 48\times50 = 2400[/tex]
This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of [tex]1+9\times2=19[/tex].
So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.
