The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of kernel used = 0.5

Cups of popcorn made = 16

Ratio of kernel used to popcorn made = 0.5:16

New cups of kernel used = 0.75

Let,

x be the new number of cups of popcorn.

Ratio of kernels to popcorn made = 0.75:x

Using proportion,

Ratio of kernel used to popcorn made :: Ratio of kernel to popcorn

$0.5:16::0.75:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$16*0.75=0.5*x\\12=0.5x\\0.5x=12\\$

Dividing both sides by 0.5

$\frac{0.5x}{0.5}=\frac{12}{0.5}\\x=24$

24 cups of popcorn can be made from 0.75 cups of kernels.

The right answer is Option C.

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(2,3),B(-4,-3) and C(2,-3) find the coordinates of each point of concurrency.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Circumcenter =(-1,0)

Orthocenter =(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Points A = (2,3), B = (-4,-3), C = (2,-3)

Formula used :

→Mid point of two points- $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

→Slope of two points - $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})$

→Perpendicular of a line = $\frac{-1}{slope of line})$

Circumcenter- The point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets.

Orthocenter-The intersecting point for all the altitudes of the triangle.

To find out the circumcenter we have to solve any two bisector equations.

We solve for line AB and AC

So, mid point of AB = $(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)$

Slope of AB = $\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = -1

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) is,

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))

y+x=-1………………(1)

Similarly, for AC

Mid point of AC = $(\frac{2+2}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(2,0)$

Slope of AC = $\frac{-3-3}{2-2}=\frac{-6}{0}$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = 0

Equation of AC with slope 0 and the coordinates (2,0) is,

(y – 0) = 0(x – 2)

y=0 ………………(2)

By solving equation (1) and (2),

put y=0 in equation (1)

y+x=-1

0+x=-1

⇒x=-1

So the circumcenter(P)= (-1,0)

To find the orthocenter we solve the intersections of altitudes.

We solve for line AB and BC

So, mid point of AB = $(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)$

Slope of AB = $\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of CF = -1

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) gives equation CF

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))

y+x=-1………………(3)

Similarly, mid point of BC = $(\frac{-4+2}{2},\frac{-3-3}{2})=(-1,-3)$

Slope of AB = $\frac{-3+3}{-4-2}=0$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of AD = 0

Equation of AB with slope 0 and the coordinates (-1,-3) gives equation AD

(y-(-3)) = 0(x – (-1))

y+3=0

y=-3………………(4)

Solve equation (3) and (4),

Put y=-3 in equation (3)

y+x=-1

-3+x=-1

x=2

Therefore, orthocenter(O)= (2,-3)

Please assist me with the domain and range of graphs

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain represents the x-values from the smallest (furthest left) to the biggest (furthest right).

Range represents the y-values from the lowest (furthest down) to the highest (furthest up).

Interval notation: If a value is included (closed dot), use a bracket [ ]

If a value is NOT included (open dot), use a parenthesis ( )

Note that ± ∞ is never included.

1. Domain: smallest x-value is -4 (included). biggest x-value is 3 (included)

Range: lowest y-value is 2 (included). highest y-value is 5 (included)

D: x = [-4, 3] R: y = [2, 5]

2. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is 2 (included)

Range: lowest y-value is 2 (included). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

D: x = (-∞, 2] R: y = [2, ∞)

3. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

Range: lowest y-value is -∞ (↓). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

D: x = (-∞, ∞) R: y = (-∞, ∞)

4. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

Range: lowest y-value is -∞ (↓). highest y-value is 4 (included)

D: x = (-∞, ∞) R: y = (-∞, 4]

5. Domain: smallest x-value is -∞ (←). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

Range: lowest y-value is 3 (included). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

D: x = (-∞, ∞) R: y = [3, ∞)

6. Domain: smallest x-value is -2 (included). biggest x-value is ∞ (→)

Range: lowest y-value is -3 (included). highest y-value is ∞ (↑)

D: x = [-2, ∞) R: y = [-3, ∞)
