Given the points H(6,7) and I(-7,-6).

If point G lies \frac{1}{2} of the way along line segment HI.

Therefore, we can say that the point G divides the line segment HI in the ratio 1:1.

So, by using the cross section formula we can determine the coordinates of point G.

For the given points say (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) divided is in the ratio m_1 : m_2, the coordinates are (\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2} , \frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2} )

Coordinates G = (\frac{(1 \times -7)+(1 \times 6)}{2} , \frac{(1 \times -6)+(1 \times 7)}{2})

= (-0.5 , 0.5)

Hence, the coordinates of G are (-0.5 , 0.5).

So, Santiago argues that point G is located at the origin. The point G is located at (-0.5, 0.5). Therefore, he is not correct.

Sin( 20 ) + 4 Sin( 20 ).Cos( 20 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2 × 2 Sin(20).Cos(20)/ Cos(20) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2 × Sin( 40 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2Sin( 40 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2Cos( 50 ) / Cos ( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2Cos( 20 + 30 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

________________________________

2 × Cos( 30 + 20 ) =

2 × [ Cos(30).Cos(20) - Sin(30).Sin(20) ] =

2 × [ √3/2 × Cos(20) - 1/2 × Sin(20) ] =

√3 Cos(20) - Sin(20)

_________________________________

Sin( 20 ) + 2Cos ( 20 + 30 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + √3 Cos(20) - Sin(20) / Cos(20) =

Sin(20) - Sin(20) + √3 Cos(20) / Cos(20) =

0 + √3 Cos(20) / Cos(20) =

√3 Cos(20) / Cos(20) =

Cos(20) simplifies from the numerator and denominator of fraction

√3 × 1 / 1 =

√3

Suppose a house costs $270,000 appreciates by 5% each year. In about how many years will the house be worth $350000?
Vikki [24]
350000 =  270000(1.05)^n

1.05)^n = 350000/270000 = 1.296296

n =  log 1.296296 / log 1.05 = 5.3 years answer

A lie-detector works correctly with 80% probability when the person is lying, and with 90% probability when the person is not. A
muminat

Answer:

the time percentage is 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the time percenatge in the case when the detector lie and done with the mistake is as follows:

L denotes the event  in which a person is lying.

NL denotes the event in which a person is not lying.

C denotes the event in which that lie detector works correctly

NC denotes the event in which  lie detector is not working correctly

Now

P(C|L) =0.8

And,

P(NC|L) is

=1 - .8

= 0.2

P(C|NL) =0.9

P(NC|NL) is

= 1 -.9

=.1

P(L) = 0.7

P(NL) is

= 1 - .7

= .3

Now

P(NC) =P(NC|L) × P(L) + P(NC|NL) × P(NL)

=. 2 × .7 + .1 ×.3

=. 14+.03

= 0.17

Hence, the time percentage is 17%
