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)

What is the factored form of this expression? 4t2 − 27t + 18
seraphim [82]

Answer:

(4t − 3) (t − 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using AC method:

Given a quadratic ax² + bx + c, find factors of ac that add up to b.  Divide those factors by a and reduce.  The denominators become the coefficients and the numerators become the constants.

Here, a = 4, b = -27, and c = 18.

ac = 4 × 18 = 72

Factors of 72 that add up to -27: -3 and -24

Divide factors by a: -3/4 and -24/4

Reduce: -3/4 and -6/1

So the factored expression is:

(4t − 3) (t − 6)

At the school talent show, 1/3 of the people were boys, 3/6 were girls, and the rest were adults. If there were 50 more girls th
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

150 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the total amount of people at the talent show x. Since 3/6=1/2, we know that half the people are girls, 1/3 are boys. If we added 1/2 and 1/3 we get 5/6, 1-5/6=1/6, so now we know that 1/6 of the people are adults. Because it says "If there were 50 more girls than adults" so from that we can see that 1/2x =1/6x+50. If we were to simplify the equation, we 1/3x=50, so x=150
