Points A, P and B are collinear such that P sits on line segment AB and partitions the segment so that AP to PB is in the ratio

2:3. Point A is located at (3,-1) and B is located at (8,14). Find the coordinates of P, the partition point.

Answer:

  P = (5, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given division, ...

  P = (2B +3A)/5

  P = (2(8, 14) +3(3, -1))/5 = (16+9, 28-3)/5 = (25, 25)/5

  P = (5, 5)

_____

For some division ratio of AP : PB = p : q, we have ...

  (P -A)/(B -P) = p/q

  q(P -A) = p(B -P)

  P(p+q) = pB +qA . . . . rearranging

  P = (pB +qA)/(p+q) . . . . . the formula we used above

Radius = 16 in ; height = 27 in

Assuming that this problem is asking about a cylinder, the volume can be found using the formula (pi)(r)^2 * h (area of the circle * height) and the surface area can be found using the formula (2)(pi)(r)h (circumference of the circle * height).

Volume = (pi)(16)^2 * 27 = 21,714.688 in^3
Surface Area = (2)(pi)(16) * 27 = 2,714.336 in^2

You need to solve a system of equations. You decide to use the elimination method. Which of these is not allowed?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>Elimination Method</u> is the method for solving a pair of linear equations which reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable.

  • If the coefficients of one variable are opposites, you add the equations to eliminate a variable, and then solve.
  • If the coefficients are not opposites, then we multiply one or both equations by a number to create opposite coefficients, and then add the equations to eliminate a variable and solve.

When multoplying the equation by a coefficient, we multiply both sides of the equation (multiplying both sides of the equation by some nonzero number does not change the solution).

So, option B is not allowed (it is not allowed to multiply only one part of equation)
