\bf \left. \qquad  \right.\textit{internal division of a line segment}

A(5,0)\qquad C(x,y)\qquad

\cfrac{AB}{BC} = \cfrac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{A}{C}=\cfrac{2}{5}\implies 5A=2C\implies 5(5,0)=2(x,y)\\\\

{ B=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)}

B=\left(\cfrac{(5\cdot 5)+(2\cdot x)}{2+5}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(5\cdot 0)+(2\cdot y)}{2+5}\right)=\boxed{(8,0)}
\\\\\\
B=\left( \cfrac{25+2x}{7}~~,~~\cfrac{0+2y}{7} \right)=(8,0)\implies 
\begin{cases}
\cfrac{25+2x}{7}=8\\\\
25+2x=56\\
2x=31\\\\
\boxed{x=\cfrac{31}{2}}\\

\cfrac{0+2y}{7}=0\\\\
2y=0\\
\boxed{y=0}

Answer:

(\frac{31}{2},0)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is clear that the coordinates of points are A(5,0) and B(8,0).

Let the coordinates of C are (a,b).

Section formula:

If a point K divides a line segment PQ in m:n and end point of segment are P(x_1,y_1) and Q(x_2,y_2), then the coordinates of point K are

K=(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

It is given that point B divides the line AC in 2:5.

Using section formula the coordinates of B are

B=(\dfrac{(2)(a)+(5)(5)}{2+5},\dfrac{(2)(b)+(5)(0)}{2+5})

B=(\dfrac{2a+25}{7},\dfrac{2b}{7})

We know that B(8,0).

(8,0)=(\dfrac{2a+25}{7},\dfrac{2b}{7})

On comparing both sides we get

8=\dfrac{2a+25}{7}

56=2a+25

56-25=2a

31=2a

\frac{31}{2}=a

Similarly,

0=\dfrac{2b}{7}\Rightarrow 0=2b\Rightarrow b=0

Therefore, the coordinates of C are (\frac{31}{2},0).

If there were 5 million births in a particular country and 3 comma 375 sets of naturally occurring​ triplets, what is the experi
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Probablity =P=6.75*10^-^4

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of times any particular event has occurred to the total number of times that event has taken place.

Experimental probability = P = No. of event occurrences / total number of occurrences.

In our question statement,

No of naturally occurring triplets are = 3375

Total number of births = 5 million = 5,000,000

Putting values in equation.

P=3375/5000000

P = 0.000675\\P=6.75*10^-^4

a park is 9/10 mile long and 4/5 mile wide. What is the area of the park? ENTER ANSWER AS A FRACTION FOR EXAMPLE: 4/10.​
ASHA 777 [7]

The park formed like a rectangle so :

Area = length × width

Area = ( 9/10 ) × ( 4/5 )

Area = 9 × 4 / 10 × 5

Area = 9 × 2 × 2 / 5 × 5 × 2

Area = 18 / 25

Sarah graphed the function. y =-1/2x+4 if the domain is restricted to this on the photo what’s the answer I pick
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a function is defined by the x-values or input values of the function.

Similarly, Range of a function is defined by the y-values of output values for the corresponding input values.

From the graph attached,

Domain is restricted to 0 ≤ x ≤ 8.

Therefore, Range will be 0 ≤ y ≤ 4.

Option (4) will be the answer.
