The point Q that partitions the line segment is Q(2,28)

Given that the directed line segment AB, with endpoints A(20, 6) and B(-16, 50) and divide the segment into a 1:1 ratio.

A line segment is a part of a line bounded by two distinct endpoints and containing all the points of the line segment between its endpoints.

We will find the point Q by using the section formula that is

Q(x,y)=((mx₂+nx₁)/(m+n),(my₂+ny₁)/(m+n))

The given ratio is m:n=1:1 and the points (x₁,y₁)=(20,6) and (x₂,y₂)=(-16,50).

Firstly, we will find the point Q for x-axis, we get

Q(x)=(mx₂+nx₁)/(m+n)

Q(x)=(1×(-16)+1×20)/(1+1)

Q(x)=(-16+20)/2

Q(x)=4/2

Q(x)=2

Now, we will find the point Q for y-axis, we get

Q(y)=(my₂+ny₁)/(m+n)

Q(y)=(1×50+1×6)/(1+1)

Q(y)=(50+6)/2

Q(y)=56/2

Q(y)=28

The point Q that partitions the line segment is Q(x,y)=(2,28)

Hence, point Q partitions this segment into a 1:1 ratio with directed line segment AB, with endpoints A(20, 6) and B(-16, 50) is Q(2,28).

A company has determined that the number of items it sells varies inversely as the price of the item. If 20,000 items can be sol
mestny [16]
Let N be the number of items sold and p the price. 
Since the variation is inverse, then the relation between N and p is:
N=k\dfrac{1}{p}
For N=20000 and p = $9.5, we get the formula:
 20000=k\dfrac{1}{9.5}\\p=20000\times9.5=190000
If p = 8.75, then the number of items sold can be computed using the formula:
N= 190000\dfrac{1}{8.75}=21714 \text{ total items}

A rectangle and a square have the same area. a. The width of the rectangle is w inches. The length of the rectangle is 15 inches
harkovskaia [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) w(4w-15)

  b) w²

  c) w(4w -15) = w²

  d) w = 5

  e) 5 by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If w is the width, and the length is 15 less than 4 times the width, then the length is 4w-15. The area is the product of length and width.

  A = w(4w -15)

__

b) If w is the side length, the area of the square is (also) the product of length and width:

  A = w²

__

c) Equating the expressions for area, we have ...

  w(4w -15) = w²

__

d) we can subtract the right side to get ...

  4w² -15w -w² = 0

  3w(w -5) = 0

This has solutions w=0 and w=5. Only the positive solution is sensible in this problem.

The side length of the square is 5 units.

__

e) The rectangle is 5 units wide, and 4(5)-15 = 5 units long.

The rectangle and square have the same width and the same area, so the rectangle must be a square.
