The centroid of a triangle is at (8, 7). One vertex of the triangle is at (0, 1). What is the midpoint of the side opposite this

vertex?

Answer:

(12,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the midpoint of the side opposite this vertex have coordinates B(a,b)

We have the centroid at C(8,7) and the vertex of the triangle at A(0,1).

The centroid divides AB internally in the ratio 2:1

We use the formula:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

where m:n=2:1 is the ratio of internal division.

We substitute the coordinates of A and B and the ratio to get:

(\frac{2a+1*0}{2+1},\frac{2b+1*1}{2+1})

This should simplify and give us the centroid.

(\frac{2a}{3},\frac{2b+1}{3})=(8,7)

This implies that:

\frac{2a}{3}=8,\frac{2b+1}{3}=7

We solve for a and b

2a=24,2b+1=21

a=12,b=10

Therefore the midpoint of the side opposite this vertex is (12,10)

Find the vertex form of: y=2x^2-5x+13
Ket [755]
The vertex form of a quadratic function is:

 f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.

In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.

y = 2x² - 5x + 13

Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.

y - 13 = 2x² - 5x

Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.

y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)

Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.

y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)

y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)

Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.

y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²

Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.

y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875

Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)

Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875

Or if you prefer fractions

y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8

Solve 3 + 4x > -5 for x
Debora [2.8K]

you have the following inequality:

3 + 4x > -5

in order to solve for x, proceed as follow:

3 + 4x > -5 subtract 3 both sides

4x > - 5 - 3

4x > -8 divide by 4 both sides

x > -8/4

x > -2

Hence, the solution to the given inequality is x > -2
