The coordinates of the point P which divides the line segment AB made by the points A(-7,2) and B(9,-6) is  (x,y) = (5,-4)

<h3>What is the coordinate of the point which divides a line segment in a specified ratio?</h3>

Suppose that there is a line segment \overline{AB}such that a point P(x,y) lying on that line segment \overline{AB} divides the line segment  \overline{AB} in m:n, then, the coordinates of the point P is given by:

(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} , \dfrac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n} \right)

where we have:

  • the coordinate of A is (x_1, y_1)
  • and the coordinate of B is (x_2, y_2)

We're given that:

  • Coordinate of A is (x_1, y_1) = (-7,2)
  • Coordinate of B is (x_2, y_2) = (9.-6)
  • The point P lies on AB such that AP:BP=3:1 (so m = 3, and n = 1)

Let the coordinate of P be (x,y), then we get the values of x and y as:

(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} , \dfrac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n} \right)\\\\(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{3(9) + 1(-7)}{3+1} , \dfrac{3(-6) + 1(2)}{3+1} \right)\\\\(x,y) = \left( \dfrac{20}{4} , \dfrac{-16}{4} \right) = (5,-4)

Thus, the coordinates of the point P which divides the line segment AB made by the points A(-7,2) and B(9,-6) is  (x,y) = (5,-4)

What is the product of (n - 8)(n + 2)?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

n² - 6n - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

We have been provided the equation

(n-8)(n+2)

To find the product, we have to multiply the both term,

(n - 8) (n + 2)

= n (n + 2) - 8 (n + 2)

= (n² + 2n) - (8n + 16)

= n² + 2n - 8n - 16n

= n² - 6n - 16

Hence, the required answer of the product of (n-8)(n+2) =  n² - 6n - 16.

What is the range of this function?<br>Please help
Alchen [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is all numbers that Y can range from, so looking at the chart we can see that the highest value on the top of the curve that Y reaches is 4. Looking at the very start of the line and the very end of the line, you can see that -inf is definitely in the range of the y values. So, we can write it like this:

-inf<y<=4

which happens to be B

A group of teenagers are asked about their favourite hobbies. The results are shown in the following table: Sports Playing video
sashaice [31]

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a \frac{1}{4} probability that a teenager selected at random is female and their favorite hobby is watching films.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem:

  • There is a total of 32 teenagers.
  • Of those, 8 are female with a favorite hobby of watching films.

Hence:

p = \frac{8}{32} = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{4} probability that a teenager selected at random is female and their favorite hobby is watching films.
