4 0

Answer:

A. (a, 0)

D. (a/2,b/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a, 0) lies on one side of the triangle, because it is between (0,0) and (2a,0)

(0, b) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle, because only the only point with x-coordinate = 0 is (0,0)

(–a, b) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle, because only positive values are valid

Imagine the triangle with vertices (0,0), (a, 0) and (a,b). Let's call β the angle at vertex (0,0)

tan(β) = b/a

For triangle with vertices (0,0), (a/2, 0) and (a/2,b/2)

tan(β) = (b/2)/(a/2) = b/a

then, (a/2,b/2) lies on one side of the triangle

For triangle with vertices (0,0), (a/3, 0) and (a/3,b/4)

tan(β) = (b/4)/(a/3) = (3/4)*(b/a) ≠ b/a

then, (a/3,b/4) doesn't lie on one side of the triangle

Half the sum of a number and 1.75 is −5.1. Enter your answer as a simplified mixed number
musickatia [10]

The unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20

Let the unknown number be "x"

The sum of the number and 1.75 is expressed as x + 1.75

Half the sum of a number and 1.75 is 1/2(x+1.75)

Equating the result to -5.1 wil give:

1/2(x+1.75) = -5.1

Solve the resulting equation

x + 1.75 = 2(-5.1)

x + 1.75  = -10.2

x = -10.2 - 1.75

x = 11.95

x = 1195/100

x = 11 95/100

Hence the unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20

You hate it when rabbits run into your yard and eat your garden. to prevent this you can rent a wolf to scare the rabbits at Wol
Natalka [10]
At Wolf-M-Up,  Cost = 17.50 + 2.25(number of days)

At Fangs-R-Us, Cost = 24.25 + 1.5(number of days)

The costs are the same when   [ 17.50 + 2.25 D  =  24.25 + 1.5 D ].

Subtract  1.5D  from each side:  17.50 + 0.75 D  =  24.25

Subtract  17.50  from each side:  0.75 D  =  6.75

Divide each side by  0.75 :                <em>D  =  9 days</em>

Substitute  9  for the number of days at either company,
and the cost is<em>  $37.75</em> .

If you only want the wolf for a few days, then Wolf-M-Up is cheaper.

If you plan to keep it for more than 9 days, then Fangs-R-Us will cost less.

For exactly 9 days, both wolves will cost the same  $37.75 .
