Where will her cut be located? Round to the nearest tenth. x = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) + x 1 A

number line goes from 0 to 60. A line is drawn from 2 to 60. Genevieve is cutting a 60-inch piece of ribbon into a ratio of 2:3. Since 2 inches are frayed at one end of the ribbon, she will need to start 2 inches in. This is indicated as 2 on the number line

Answer:

The correct answer is 25.2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that number line goes from 0 to 60 which can be used to represent a ribbon of length = 60 inches.

2 inches of the ribbon are frayed so actual length = 58 inches

Please refer to the attached image for the ribbon.

A is at 0

C is at 60

B is at 2

P is the point to divide the remaining ribbon in the ratio 2:3.

Part AB of the ribbon is frayed.

BP: PC = 2:3

Let BP = 2x and PC = 3x

Now, BP + PC = BC = 58 = 2x + 3x = 5x

So,

5x =58\\\Rightarrow x =11.6

BP = 2\times x = 2 \times 11.6 = 23.2\ inches

Location of the Cut = 2 + 23.2 = <em>25.2 inches</em>

<em></em>

Alternatively, we can use the formula directly:

x = \dfrac{m} {m + n } (x_2 - x_1) + x_1

x_1 = 2\\x_2 = 60

m: n is the ratio 2:3

x = \dfrac{2} {2 +3 } (60- 2) + 2\\\Rightarrow 0.4 (58 )+2\\\Rightarrow 23.2+2 \\\Rightarrow \bold{25.2\ inches}

Answer:

(-4, -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the midpoints bt of the line use the ormula:

( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

Where (x1, x2) is one coordinate point and (y1, y2) is anither coordinate point. Any two points will work, but I chose A (-5,-4) and B (-3, 3).

( \frac{ - 5 + ( - 3)}{2}  \frac{ - 4 + 3}{2} )

(-4, -1/2)

Use the zero product property to solve the equation. (4k+5)(k+7)=0
Maru [420]
The zero product property tells us that if we have
xy=0, then we can assume that x and y both equal 0

so

(4k+5)(k+7)=0
we can assume that 4k+5=0 and k+7=0
so

4k+5=0
minus 5 both sides
4k=-5
divide both sides by 4
k=-5/4

k+7=0
minus 7 both sides
k=-7


k=-5/4 or -7

Given log Subscript 3 Baseline 2 almost-equals 0. 631 and log Subscript 3 Baseline 7 almost-equals 1. 771, what is log Subscript
kari74 [83]

You can use the properties of logarithm to get to the solution.

The approximate value for given term is given by

log_3(14) \approx 2.402

<h3>What is logarithm and some of its useful properties?</h3>

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Lets say you get

a^b = c

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using logarithm as follows

b = log_a(c)

Some properties of logarithm are:

log_a(b) = log_a(c) \implies b = c\\\\\log_a(b) + log_a(c) = log_a(b \times c)\\\\log_a(b) - log_a(c) = log_a(\frac{b}{c})

<h3>Using the above properties</h3>

log_3(2) + log_3(7) = log_3(2 \times 7) = log_3(14)\\\\0.631 + 1.771  = log_3(14)\\\\log_3(14) = 2.402

Thus,

The approximate value for given term is given by

log_3(14) \approx 2.402
