Answer:

(2.5, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ), then midpoint is

[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Given

(0, 1) and (5, 7), then

midpoint = [ 0.5(0 + 5), 0.5(1 + 7) ] = (0.5(5), 0.5(8)) = (2.5, 4)

Andy is scuba diving.He starts at sea level and then descends 10 feet in 2 1/2 minutes.

Yuri [45]

Descent = 10 feet
Time required = 2 1/2 minutes.
The rate of descent = (10 feet)/(2.5 mn) = 4 ft/min

In 6 minutes, the descent will be
(4 ft/min)*(6 min) = 24 ft

Answer:
(a) 4 feet/minute
(b) 24 feet

Prove that sinxtanx=1/cosx - cosx

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove that

$\sin(x)\tan(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x), \forall x \in\mathbb{R}$

Taking the RHS, note

$\dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \dfrac{\cos(x) \cos(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Remember that

$\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) =1 \implies 1- \cos^2(x) =\sin^2(x)$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Once

$\dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} = \tan(x)$

Then,

$\dfrac{\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} = \sin(x)\tan(x)$

Hence, it is proved

Choose the equation that represents the graph below: (1 point) Graph of a line passing through points 0 comma 6 and 9 comma 0 y

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Equation of a line $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$ passing through (0,6) and (9,0).

Explanation:

Given the two points (0, 6) and (9 ,0).

To find the equation for the given two points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is,

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ ; where m is the slope and is given by:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

First find the slope m:

$m=\frac{0-6}{9-0} =\frac{-6}{9} =\frac{-2}{3}$

Substitute this value in equation of line:

$y-6=\frac{-2}{3} (x-0)$ or

$y-6=\frac{-2}{3} x$

⇒ $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$

Therefore, the equation for the given point is: $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$

Determine if line AB is tangent to the circle. Type

adoni [48]

Answer:

If AB is a tangent to the circle, the triangle ABO is right angled, as the angle where a tangent meets the circumference is always 90 degrees.

We also know that Pythogoras' theorem only holds for right angled triangles.

The hypotenuse is 12 + 8 as 12 is the radius so is 20.

16^2+12^2 = 256 + 144 = 400 = 20^2 so AB must be tangent.
