A (0,0), B(8,10), C(5,-10)
First, find the slope of AB and AC, slope of AB is 5/4, slope of AC is -2
next, find the negative reciprocals of the slopes: -4/5 and 1/2 respectively
so the altitude of AB is a line with a slope of -4/5 passing through (5,-10)
the altitude of AC is a line with a slope of 1/2 passing through (8,10)
find these two lines:
Plug (5,-10) in y=(-4/5)x+b to find b, b=-6, so y=(-4/5)x -6
plug (8,10) in y=(1/2)x +b to find b, b=6, so y=(1/2) x +6

the point where these two lines meet is the orthocenter.
y=(-4/5)x -6
y=(1/2) x +6
(-4/5)x -6=(1/2) x +6
x=-120/13
y=(1/2)*(-120/13)+6=18/13
so the orthocenter is (-120/13, 18/13)
these numbers look odd, but I've run the vertex through an orthodox calculator, and got the same result.

the width of the rectangle is 5 inches less than it's length, and the area is 84 square inches. what are the length and width of

inysia [295]

W= l - 5 where w = width and l = length

area = 84 = l*w = l(l-5)

l(l-5) = 84
l^2 - 5l - 84 = 0
(l - 12)(l + 7) = 0
l = 12

length = 12 and width = 7

Find the number of subsets for the following set. {3, 4, 5} How many subsets does this set have? nothing (Type a whole number

8. When you’re making subsets, you have two options for each element in the original set: you can either include it or not. This gives you 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 possible ways you can put a subset together from the three elements in {3, 4, 5}.

a college freshman started the year with $4000 in spending money and after three months,she has $2800 left.assume that she will

gulaghasi [49]

Let's find out how much she spent every month.

4000 (starting money) - 2800 (remaining money) = 1200 spent over 3 months

1200/3 = 400 per month was spent

So if she continues to spend 400 a month?

How many months are left? 12 (months of the year) - 3 (months she already spent) = 9

So 9 (remaining months) * 400 (amt per month) = 3600 she'll spend at the going rate over 9 months.

But she only has 2800 left.

2800 (remaining) - 3600 (estimated total of spending) = -800

So she will be 800$ in debt at the end of the year at the current rate.

A cohort study was conducted to study the association of coffee drinking and anxiety in a population-based sample of adults. Amo

Answer: Relative risk of anxiety associated with coffee use is 5 times the anxiety associated with non coffee use.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coffee drinkers = 10000

Number of whom developed anxiety = 500

Number of non coffee drinkers = 20000

Number of whom developed anxiety = 200

So, probability of getting anxiety from coffee drinkers = $\dfrac{500}{10000}=0.05$

Probability of getting anxiety from non coffee drinkers = $\dfrac{200}{20000}=0.01$

so, Relative risk of anxiety associated with coffee use is given by

$\dfrac{0.05}{0.01}=5$

Hence, Relative risk of anxiety associated with coffee use is 5 times the anxiety associated with non coffee use.
