Answer:

Coordinates of point X = (-3, -21)

The sum of the coordinates of X = - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 points, X, Y and Z.

Let the coordinates of point X be (x, y)

Y = (1, 7)

Z = (-1, -7)

(XZ/XY) = (ZY/XY) = (1/2)

The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in a coordinate system is given as

d = √[(x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂)²]

Therefore,

XZ = √[(x + 1)² + (y + 7)²]

XY = √[(x - 1)² + (y - 7)²]

ZY = √[(-1 - 1)² + (-7 - 7)²] = √(4 + 196) = 14.14

From the relation

(XZ/XY) = (ZY/XY) = (1/2)

We can deduce that

(XZ/XY) = (1/2)

(ZY/XY) = (1/2)

XZ = ZY

(XZ/XY) = (1/2)

XY = 2XZ

√[(x - 1)² + (y - 7)²] = 2(√[(x + 1)² + (y + 7)²]

Square both sides

(x - 1)² + (y - 7)² = 4[(x + 1)² + (y + 7)²]

x² - 2x + 1 + y² - 14y + 49 = 4[x² + 2x + 1 + y² + 14y + 49]

x² - 2x + 1 + y² - 14y + 49 = 4x² + 8x + 4 + 4y² + 56y + 196

3x² + 10x + 3 + 3y² + 70y + 147 = 0

3x² + 3y² + 10x + 70y + 150 = 0 (eqn 1)

(ZY/XY) = (1/2)

XY = 2ZY

√[(x - 1)² + (y - 7)²] = 2(14.142)

Square both sides

(x - 1)² + (y - 7)² = 4(200) = 800

x² - 2x + 1 + y² - 14y + 49 = 800

x² + y² - 2x - 14y - 750 = 0 (eqn 2)

XZ = ZY

√[(x + 1)² + (y + 7)²] = 14.142

Square both sides

(x + 1)² + (y + 7)² = 200

x² + 2x + 1 + y² + 14y + 49 = 200

x² + y² + 2x + 14y - 150 = 0 (eqn 3)

Rewriting the 3 equations together,

3x² + 3y² + 10x + 70y + 150 = 0

x² + y² - 2x - 14y - 750 = 0

x² + y² + 2x + 14y - 150 = 0

Make (x² + y²) the subject of formula in equation 3

(x² + y²) = -2x - 14y + 150

Substituting this into eqn 1

3x² + 3y² + 10x + 70y + 150 = 0

3(x² + y²) + 10x + 70y + 150 = 0

(x² + y²) = -2x - 14y + 150

3(-2x - 14y + 150) + 10x + 70y + 150 = 0

-6x - 42y + 450 + 10x + 70y + 150 = 0

4x + 28y + 600 = 0

x + 7y = -150

Substitute this into this expression (x² + y²) = -2x - 14y + 150

x = -7y - 150

(x² + y²) = -2x - 14y + 150

(-7y - 150)² + y² = -2(-7y - 150) - 14y + 150

49y² + 2100y + 22500 + y² = 14y + 300 - 14y + 150

50y² + 2100y + 22050 = 0

y² + 42y + 441 = 0

y = -21

x = -7y - 150 = -7(-21) - 150 = 147 - 150 = -3

Point X's coordinate = (x, y) = (-3, -21).

The sum of X's coordinate = -2 - 21 = -24

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer: The fourth term is -102

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The term after the nth term is generated by this rule  a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2 which means that we first
Step 1) multiply the nth term ( a_n ) by -4
Step 2) Add the result of step 1 to the value 2 to get the next term in the sequence

Let's follow those steps above to generate the first four terms

The first term is a_1 = 2. In short, the first term is 2

The second term is...
a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2
a_{1+1} = -4(a_1) + 2
a_{2} = -4(2) + 2
a_{2} = -8 + 2
a_{2} = -6
So the second term is -6

The third term is...
a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2
a_{2+1} = -4(a_2) + 2
a_{3} = -4(-6) + 2
a_{3} = 24 + 2
a_{3} = 26
The third term is 26

Finally, the fourth term is...
a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2
a_{3+1} = -4(a_3) + 2
a_{4} = -4(26) + 2
a_{4} = -104 + 2
a_{4} = -102
The fourth term is -102.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (8,0) and (3,-5)?
slava [35]
Recall that the general equation for a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
First, let's find the slope by finding
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1):
(-8-0)/(-5-3)
-8/-8
1

Now we know the equation is y=1x+b, or y=x+b.
By plugging in one of the two points we know is on the line, we can solve for b.
0=3+b
b=-3

So the equation is:
y=x-3
