the coordinates of the endpoints of AB are A (-8, -2) and B(16,6). Point P is on AB what are the coordinates of point P such tha
t AP:PB is 3:5?
1 answer:
We have that
<span>A (-8, -2) and B(16,6)
step 1
find the distance AB in the x coordinates
dABx=(16-(-8))-----> 24 units
step 2
find coordinate x of P (Px)
Px=Ax+(3/5)*dABx------> Px=(-8)+(3/5)*24----> 6.4
step 3
F</span>ind the distance AB in the y coordinates
dABy=(6-(-2))-----> 8 units
step 4
find coordinate y of P (Py)
Py=Ay+(3/5)*dABy------> Py=(-2)+(3/5)*8----> 2.8
the coordinates of P are (6.4,2.8)
see the attached figure

All of given options contain quadratic functions. One way to determine the extreme value is squaring the expression with variable x.
Option B contain the expression where you can see perfect square. Thus, equation (choice B) reveals its extreme value without needing to be altered.
To determine the extreme value of this equation, you should substitute x=2 (x-value that makes expression in brackets equal to zero) into the function notation:
The extreme value of this equation has a minimum at the point (2,5).
