The position vector of P and Q is P = ( 6 i -3j +9k ) , Q = ( 3i -6 j -3k) , the coordinates of R is ( 5 , -4 , 2)

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

A vector is an object with both mass and magnitude.

It is given that

The coordinates of

P (6, -3,9 ) and Q (3, -6, -3)

point R divides line PQ internally in the ratio 1:2.

The position vectors of P, Q and R is given by  p, q and r respectively.

The position vector of P and Q in terms of i, j, k is is

P = ( 6 i -3j +9k ) , Q = ( 3i -6 j -3k)

The magnitude of P = \rm \sqrt { 6 ^2 + (-3)^2 + 9^2\\

|p| = 11.224

The magnitude of Q = \rm \sqrt { 3^2 + (-6)^2 + ( -3)^2

|q| = 7.348

The coordinate of R is

if a point (x,y,z) divides the line joining the points (x₁,y₁) ) and (x₂ ,y₂) in the ratio m:n, then

( x, y, z ) = \rm \dfrac{ mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n} ,  \dfrac{ my_2 + ny_1}{m + n} ,  \dfrac{ mz_2 + nz_1}{m + n}

The m : n = 1 : 2

(x,y,z) = \rm \dfrac{ 3 + 2*6}{3} ,  \dfrac{ (-6) + 2*(-3)}{3} ,  \dfrac{ (-3) + 2*9}{3}

(x,y,z) = 5 , -4 , 2

Therefore the coordinates of R is ( 5 , -4 , 2)

Solve the following absolute value inequality. 3x - 727 x &lt; 16 X &gt; [?]​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3|x-7|<= 27

then |x-7|<=27/3=9

hence, -9<=x-7<=9

therefore, -2<=x<=16

Two fifth of a certain number is 30 what is the number?
vesna_86 [32]
<h2>75</h2>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Beginning with an "If-then" statement ⇣

<em>If </em><em>2/5 = 30 </em><em>then</em><em> 1/5 = 15</em>

Now we have 1/5, let's make it 1 by multiplying x5.

<em>15 x 5 = </em><em>75</em>

Good luck! :)
