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

Rewrite each equation in vertex form by completing the square. Then identify the vertex.

ioda

ANSWER

Vertex form;

$y = 3( {x + \frac{3}{2} })^{2} - \frac{35}{4}$

Vertex

$V( - \frac{3}{2} , - \frac{35}{4} )$

EXPLANATION

Given:

$f(x) = 3 {x}^{2} + 9x - 2$

We complete the square as follows:

$y = 3( {x}^{2} + 3x) - 2$

$y = 3( {x}^{2} + 3x + \frac{9}{4} ) - 2 - 3 \times \frac{9}{4}$

The vertex form is:

$y = 3( {x + \frac{3}{2} })^{2} - \frac{35}{4}$

The vertex is

$V( - \frac{3}{2} , - \frac{35}{4} )$

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ship's vector:

Horizontal component = 30 cos 30 = 25.98.

Vertical component = 30 sin(-30) = -15.

So it is <25.98, -15).

The current's vector:

Horizontal component = 5 sin 20 = 1.71.

Vertical component = 5 cos 20 = 4.7.

So it is <1.71, 4.7>.
