What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (–9, -7) to
(-2,7) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 4?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Saving the long, drawn out derivation of the formulas to find the x and y coordinates of the directed point, suffice it to say that it is:

x coordinate: [tex]\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b}[/tex] and

y coordinate: [tex]\frac{by_1+ay_2}{a+b}[/tex]

where x1, x2, y1, and y2 are the coordinates from the given points and a and b are the numbers in the ratio, namely a = 3 and b = 4. Filling in accordingly:

the x coordinate of the directed point is

[tex]\frac{4(-9)+3(-2)}{7}[/tex] which simplifies down to -6, and

the y coordinate of the directed point is

[tex]\frac{4(-7)+3(7)}{7}[/tex] which simplifies down to -1.

The coordinate of the point is (-6, -1). Write that down so you don't forget it.

Answer 2

The coordinates of the point that partitions the line segment from (-9,-7) to (-2,7) into a ratio of 3 to 4 are (-5, 1).

What are coordinates in a graph?

The coordinates in a graph indicate the location of a point with respect to the x-axis and y-axis.

The coordinates in a graph show the relationship between the information plotted on the given x-axis and y-axis.

We have,

To find the point that partitions the line segment from (-9,-7) to (-2,7) into a ratio of 3 to 4, we need to use the formula.

[tex]P = ( (4x_2 + 3x_1)/(4+3), (4y_2 + 3y_1)/(4 + 3) )[/tex]

where P is the point we're looking for, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints of the segment, and the numbers 4 and 3 come from the ratio 3 to 4.

Plugging in the values.

P = ( (4 x (-2) + 3 x (-9))/(4 + 3), (47 + 3(-7))/(4 + 3) )

Simplifying.

P = (-5, 1)

Therefore,

The coordinates of the point that partitions the line segment from (-9,-7) to (-2,7) into a ratio of 3 to 4 are (-5, 1).

The color distribution of Skittles is the following: 10% blue, orange, and green each, 23.3333% yellow, red, and purple each. In a bag, there were 137 red Skittles, 39 orange ones, 130 yellow ones, 39 green ones, 43 blue ones and 112 purple ones. Do the Skittles in the bag match the required color distribution?

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Percentage of blue, orange and green = 10%

Percentage of yellow, red and purple = 23.3333%

Number of skittles in bag by color :

Red = 137

Orange = 39

Yellow = 130

Green = 39

Blue = 43

Purple = 112

According to the color distribution :

Number of blue, orange and green should be the same and also number of yellow, red and purple skittles must be the same.

Total number of skittles :

(137 + 39 + 130 + 39 + 43 + 112) = 500

10% of the total = 0.1 * 500 = 50

Hence,

We should have 50 blue, orange and green skittles

23.33333% of total = 116.666 (about 117 skittles of yellow, red and purple color)

3200 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 8.25%. To the
nearest tenth of a year, how long will it take for the account value to reach 9600
dollars?

Hello, I come from the deltamath past to help you, in the deltamath future. It’s 13.9

Answers

It takes 24 years for the account value to reach the $9600.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given data, it can be determined that :
Amount = $9600
Principal = $3200
Rate = 8.25% = 0.0825
Number of years should be calculated.
To find the interest :
Amount = Principal + Interest
Therefore, the interest can be calculated by the formula,
Interest = Amount - Principal
⇒ 9600 - 3200
⇒ 6400
The interest needed is 6400.
To find the number of years required to reach this interest :
Use the formula for simple interest,
Simple interest = Pnr /100
where,
P is the principal
n is the number of years
r is the rate
Substitute all the given values in the simple interest formula,
Simple interest = 3200 × n × 0.0825
6400 = 264 n
n = 6400 / 264
n = 24.2 which is approximately 24 years.
Therefore, it takes 24 years for the account value of 3200 dollars to reach 9600 dollars.

[tex]y\leq \frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]

(5,0)
(0,5)
(-2,5)
(-5,2)

Answers

Answer:

Option A: (5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y \leq \frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]

Required

Select an ordered pair

Option A: (5,0)

This means

[tex]x = 5[/tex] [tex]y = 0[/tex]

Substitute these values in [tex]y \leq \frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]

[tex]0 \leq \frac{2}{5} * 5 - 2[/tex]

[tex]0 \leq 2 - 2[/tex]

[tex]0 \leq 0[/tex]

This is a true statement.

Option B: (0,5)

This means

[tex]x = 0[/tex]   [tex]y = 5[/tex]

Substitute these values in [tex]y \leq \frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq \frac{2}{5}* 0 -2[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq 0 -2[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq -2[/tex]

This is a false statement.

Option C: (-2,5)

This means

[tex]x=-2[/tex]   [tex]y = 5[/tex]

Substitute these values in [tex]y \leq \frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq \frac{2}{5}* -2 -2[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq \frac{-4}{5} -2[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq \frac{-4-10}{5}[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq \frac{-14}{5}[/tex]

[tex]5 \leq -2.8[/tex]

This is a false statement.

Option D: (-5,2)

This means

[tex]x=-5[/tex]   [tex]y = 2[/tex]

Substitute these values in [tex]y \leq \frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]

[tex]2 \leq \frac{2}{5}* -5 -2[/tex]

[tex]2 \leq -2 -2[/tex]

[tex]2 \leq -4[/tex]

This is a false statement.

Only option A represents a true statement,

Hence, option A is a solution to the inequality

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(16)=125/a

tan(16)=35.8 (DC)

tan(7)=125/a

tan(7)=15.3

35.8-15.3=20.5

Sorry if that's incorrect, my best is 20.5 feet.

Answer:   approximately 582 feet.

======================================================

Work Shown:

Let

x = length of AD in feet

y = length of DC in feet

x and y are positive real numbers.

For now, focus on triangle BCD. Ignore point A and its associated angle.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(D) = BC/DC

tan(16) = 125/y

y*tan(16) = 125

y = 125/tan(16)

y = 435.926805480113

y = 435.926805

The value of y is approximate

Now focus on triangle ABC. Ignore point D and its associated angle.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AC

tan(A) = BC/(AD+DC)

tan(7) = 125/(x + y)

(x+y)*tan(7) = 125

x*tan(7) + y*tan(7) = 125

x*tan(7) = 125 - y*tan(7)

x = ( 125-y*tan(7) )/( tan(7) )

x = ( 125-435.926805*tan(7) )/( tan(7) )

x = 582.116498496824

x = 582

The distance from A to D is approximately 582 feet.

Jay has spent 3/8 of his life working for his current company. If Jay has been 8 3working for his current company for 15 years, how old is he?

Answers

Answer:

40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jay has spent 3/8 of his life working for his current company and it is stated that he has been at the current company for 15 years, we can divide 15 years by 3 to find out how much a single part of the fraction (1/8) is.

15 / 3 = 5 years

5 years = 1/8

Now that we know how many years is a single part of his life we simply multiply this value by 8 to calculate how many years would equal his total life or in other words how old Jay currently is.

5 years * 8 = 40 years old
