Answer:

Circumcenter =(-1,0)

Orthocenter =(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given : Points A = (2,3), B = (-4,-3), C = (2,-3)  

Formula used :  

→Mid point of two points- (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

→Slope of two points - \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})

→Perpendicular of a line = \frac{-1}{slope of line})

Circumcenter- The point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets.

Orthocenter-The intersecting point for all the altitudes of the triangle.

To find out the circumcenter we have to solve any two bisector equations.

We solve for line AB and AC

So, mid point of AB =(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = -1  

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) is,  

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))  

y+x=-1………………(1)  

Similarly, for AC  

Mid point of AC = (\frac{2+2}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(2,0)

Slope of AC = \frac{-3-3}{2-2}=\frac{-6}{0}  

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = 0  

Equation of AC with slope 0 and the coordinates (2,0) is,  

(y – 0) = 0(x – 2)  

y=0 ………………(2)  

By solving equation (1) and (2),  

put y=0 in equation (1)

y+x=-1

0+x=-1

⇒x=-1  

So the circumcenter(P)= (-1,0)

To find the orthocenter we solve the intersections of altitudes.

We solve for line AB and BC

So, mid point of AB =(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of CF = -1  

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) gives equation CF  

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))  

y+x=-1………………(3)  

Similarly, mid point of BC =(\frac{-4+2}{2},\frac{-3-3}{2})=(-1,-3)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3+3}{-4-2}=0

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of AD = 0

Equation of AB with slope 0 and the coordinates (-1,-3) gives equation AD

(y-(-3)) = 0(x – (-1))  

y+3=0

y=-3………………(4)  

Solve equation (3) and (4),

Put y=-3 in equation (3)

y+x=-1

-3+x=-1

x=2

Therefore, orthocenter(O)= (2,-3)

5 roommates share the cost of an apartment: rent,electricity, and gas. rent costs 1800 and gas costs 150 per month. each roommat
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Electricity bill is 175

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rent = 1800

Gas = 150

Each\ Roommate = 425 monthly

Number\ of\ Roommate = 5

Required

Determine the electricity bill

If each roommate pays 425, then 5 roommates pay 5 * 425

Total = 5 * 425

Total = 2125

This implies that: the monthly cost of room, gas and electricity add up to 2125.

In other words,

Gas + Rent + Electricity = 2125

150 + 1800+ Electricity = 2125

1950+ Electricity = 2125

Electricity = 2125 - 1950

Electricity = 175

<em>Hence, the electricity bill is 175</em>

A patient with end-stage kidney disease has nine family members who are potential kidney donors. How many possible orders are th
eduard

Answer: 504

Step-by-step explanation:

When we select r things from n things in a order , we use permutations.

Formula for permutation:  ^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Given : The number of family members who are potential kidney donors. = 9

Number of people needed to be selected for best match, a second-best match, and a third-best match ( in an order)=3

Then, the number of possible orders are = ^9P_3=\dfrac{9!}{(9-3)!}

=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!}=504

Hence, the number of possible orders 504.

Factor Completely: 2x2 − 18
tangare [24]
To factor the given function, find a term that is divisible by both terms. For this problem, the factor would be 2, since 2x^2 and -18 are both divisible by 2.

2(x^2 - 9)

You could further factor out x^2 - 9 because it is factorable by (x - 3) and (x + 3). Thus, it would be

2(x -3)(x+3)
