Answer:
d =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that W varies jointly as L and d² then the equation relating them is
W = kLd² ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition W = 140 when d = 4 and L = 54, thus
140 = k × 54 × 4² = 864k ( divide both sides by 864 )
= k , that is
k =
W = Ld² ← equation of variation
Multiply both sides by 216
216W = 35Ld² ( divide both sides by 35L )
= d² ( take the square root of both sides )
d =
Answer:
G(3, 1), H(2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
When D is the midpoint of EG, it means ...
D = (E + G)/2
or
G = 2D -E = 2(3,4) -(3,7) = (2·3-3, 2·4-7) = (3, 1)
Likewise, H is ...
H = 2D -F = 2(3,4) -(4,5) = (2·3-4, 2·4-5) = (2, 3)
