Answer:

PM:MQ = 8:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

\rm \angle B\hat{M}P + 90^{\circ} + \angle C\hat{M}Q = 180^{\circ};

\implies \rm \angle B\hat{M}P + \angle C\hat{M}Q = 90^{\circ};

\implies \rm 90^{\circ} - \angle B\hat{M}P = \angle C\hat{M}Q.

Also,

\rm \angle B\hat{P}M = 90^{\circ} - \angle B\hat{M}P in right triangle PBM.

Thus \rm \angle{P\hat{B}M} = \angle C\hat{M}Q.

Additionally \rm \angle \hat{B} = 90^{\circ} = \angle \hat{C}.

Therefore \rm \triangle PBM \sim \triangle MCQ.

\rm \displaystyle BC = 2\;MC for M is the midpoint of segment BC.

\rm \displaystyle PB = \frac{4}{3}BC = \frac{8}{3}MC.

\rm \triangle PBM \sim \triangle MCQ implies that

\displaystyle \rm PM:MQ = PB:MC = 1:\frac{8}{3} = 8:3.

The first blanks options are -2 , -1/2 , 2 , 1/2
Pie

Answer:

equation 1

y = -2x

equation 2

y = x-3

Solution to both

(1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the equations of both lines

General form is;

y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is the y-intercept

Table 1

since we have a point 0,0; the y-intercept here is zero

Let us get the slope. We can do this by selecting any two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-10)/(-1+5) = -8/4 = -2

So the equation of the first line is;

y = -2x

Table 2

we get the slope

m = (4+2)/(7-1) = 6/6 = 1

The partial equation is;

y = x + c

To get c, we select any two point and substitute

4 = 7 + c

c = 4-7

c = -3

So the equation is;

y = x-3

To get the solution to both systems, we equate the y

-2x = x - 3

-2x-x = -3

-3x = -3

x = -3/-3

x = 1

To get y, we substitute;

recall; y = -2x

y = -2(1)

y = -2

Solution to the system is;

(1,-2)

Plastic cups comes in an 10-pack, but paper plates come in a 12 pack. What is the smallest number of plastic cups and paper plat
Andrei [34K]
The answer is 60. You can find this out by finding the least common multiple of 10 and 12, which is 60 because 10x6=60 and 12x5=60. Hope this helps :)

It is recommended to use a Poisson process to model the number of failures in commercial water
OverLord2011 [107]
A research paper recommends using Poisson process to model the number of failures in commercial water pipes The paper also gives estimates the failure rate in units of failures per 100 miles of pipe per day; for four different types of pipe and for many different years_ For example, for cast iron pipe in 2005, the authors' estimate is the failure rate is 0.0864 failures per 100 miles per day: Suppose a town had 2500 miles of cast iron pipe underground in 2005 What is the probability of at least two failures
