Answer:

5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

If point B divides the segment AC in the ratio 2:1, then

AB=2x units and BC=x units.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio 3:2, then

AD=3y units and DB=2y units.

Since AD+DB=AB, then

$3y+2y=2x\\ \\5y=2x\\ \\y=\dfrac{2}{5}x$

Now,

$AD=3y\\ \\DC=DB+BC=2y+x=2y+\dfrac{2}{5}y=\dfrac{12}{5}y$

So,

$AD:DC=3y:\dfrac{12}{5}y=15:12=5:4$

Answer:

AD:DC=6:9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

AB:BC=2:1

AD:DB=3:2

We can conclude that:

AB+BC=AC

Then:

AB=2/3AC

BC=1/3AC

AD+DB=AB

Then

AD=3/5AB

DB=2/5AB

From the above we can replace:

AD=(3/5)(2/3AC)=6/15AC

On the other hand:

DC= DB+BC

DC=2/5AB+1/3AC

In terms of AC

DC=((2/5)(2/3AC))+1/3AC=4/15AC+1/3AC

DC=27/45AC=9/15AC

From:

AD=6/15AC

DC=9/15AC

we can say that:

AD:DC=6:9

What 2 numbers add to get 2 and multiply to 4

rusak2 [61]

Factor 4
4=1 times 4
2 times 2
they don't add to 2
set up equation
x+y=2
xy=4

first equation, subtract x from both sides
y=2-x
subsitute for y
x(2-x)=4
distribute
2x-x^2=4
add x^2
2x=x^2+4
subtract 2x
0=x^2-2x+4
use quadratic formula which is
if you have ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x= $\frac{ -b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$ so

1x^2-2x+4=0
a=1
b=-2
c=4
x= $\frac{ -(-2)+/-\sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(4)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{ 2+/-\sqrt{4-16} }{2}$
x= $\frac{ 2+/-\sqrt{-12} }{2}$
we have $\sqrt{-12}$ and that doesn't give a real solution
therefor there are no real solutions
but if you want to solve fully
x= $\frac{ 2+/-2\sqrt{-3} }{2}$
i= $\sqrt{-1}$
x= $\frac{ 2+/-2i\sqrt{3} }{2}$
x= $1+/-i\sqrt{3}$
x= $1-i\sqrt{3}$ or x= $1+i\sqrt{3}$ (those are the 2 numbers)

Find the probability that a randomly

Lerok [7]

Fine the area of the circle:

Area of a circle = pi x r ^2

Area of the circle = 3.14 x 4^2 = 50.24 square cm

Find the area of the triangle:

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area =1/2 x 8 x 4 = 16 square cm

Find the area of the white part by subtracting the area of the triangle from the circle:

50.24 - 16 = 34.24 square cm.

The probability of landing in white is the area of white/ area of circle:

34.24/50.24 = 0.682

Multiply by 100 to get percent:

0.682 x 100 = 68.2%

Factor the following problems -13=-4a-2b+c 3=4a+2b+c 5=16a+4b+c Please Help!

Pie

1) -13 = -4a - 2b + c
-13 = -2(2a + b) + c

2) 3 = 4a + 2b +c
3 = 2(2a + b) + c

3) 5 = 16a + 4b + c
5 = 4(4a + b) + c
