Answer:

x=\frac{83}{50}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the three points are collinear

then

m_A_B=m_A_C

we have

A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

step 1

Find the slope AB

we have

A(1,\frac{2}{3}),B(x,-\frac{4}{5})

substitute in the formula

m_A_B=\frac{-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}}{x-1}

m_A_B=\frac{\frac{-12-10}{15}}{x-1}

m_A_B=-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}

step 2

Find the slope AC

we have

A(1,\frac{2}{3}),C(-\frac{1}{2},4)

substitute in the formula

m_A_C=\frac{4-\frac{2}{3}}{-\frac{1}{2}-1}

m_A_C=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{-\frac{3}{2}}

m_A_C=-\frac{20}{9}

step 3

Equate the slopes

m_A_B=m_A_C

-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}=-\frac{20}{9}

solve for x

15(x-1)20=22(9)

300x-300=198

300x=198+300

300x=498

x=\frac{498}{300}

simplify

x=\frac{83}{50}

Prove that H c G is a normal subgroup if and only if every left coset is a right coset, i.e., aH = Ha for all a e G
Kaylis [27]

\Rightarrow

Suppose first that H\subset G is a normal subgroup. Then by definition we must have for all a\in H, xax^{-1} \in H for every x\in G. Let a\in G and choose (ab)\in aH (b\in H). By hypothesis we have aba^{-1} =abbb^{-1}a^{-1}=(ab)b(ab)^{-1} \in H, i.e. aba^{-1}=c for some c\in H, thus ab=ca \in Ha. So we have aH\subset Ha. You can prove Ha\subset aH in the same way.

\Leftarrow

Suppose aH=Ha for all a\in G. Let h\in H, we have to prove  aha^{-1} \in H for every a\in G. So, let a\in G. We have that ha^{-1} =a^{-1}h' for some h'\in H (by the hypothesis). hence we have aha^{-1}=h' \in H. Because a was chosen arbitrarily  we have the desired .
