directed line segment AB with A(1,3), and B(8,4) is partitioned by point C such that AC and CB form a 3:2 ratio. Find C.

Rudik [331]

A) The perimeter is the length around the rectangle, so it would be 2 + 5 + 2 + 5 = 14m

The area is 2m * 5m = 10m^2

b/c) You have to draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 14m, and an area that ISN'T 10m^2. You could draw a 3m by 4m rectangle which would have a perimeter of 14m and an area of 12m^2.

Calculate the axis of symmetry in the equation Y = (x+1) (x-4)

algol [13]

Answer:

Every parabola has a turning point called the axis of symmetry,so for this question you just have to find the turning points

x turning point= -b/2a,and the y turning point is gotten by replacing the value of x in the equation

y=(x+1)(x-4)

=x^2-3x-4

a is 1,b is -3 and c is -4

x= -(-3)/2(1)

=1.5

and y=x^2-3x-4

=1.5^2-3(1.5)-4

= -6.25

therefore the axis of symmetry is (1.5,-6.25)

I hope this helps

Your friend Mel says he has an easier way to solve this problem. Here are the ﬁrst steps in his method.

damaskus [11]

Simplifying

2x2 + 6x + 4 = 24

Reorder the terms:

4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24

Solving

4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:

4 + -24 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24

Combine like terms: 4 + -24 = -20

-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0

-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.

2(-10 + 3x + x2) = 0

Factor a trinomial.

2((-5 + -1x)(2 + -1x)) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-5 + -1x = 0

Solving

-5 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + 5

-1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5

-1x = 5

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = -5

Simplifying

x = -5

Arrange the slopes from flattest to steepest. -3/2, 0, 4/3, undefined

Dovator [93]

To arrange the slopes we need to take their absolute values.
1. Undefined slope means a vertical line, so it is going to be steepest.
2.|4/3| = 4/3
3.|-3/2| = 3/2
4. 0 means horizontal line.

From flattest to steepest: 0, -3/2, 4/3, undefined.
