Refer to the figure shown below.

The point c, on line segment ab, is in a 3:1 ratio from a.
Therefore,
the x-coordinate of c is -1 +(3/4)*(3) = 5/4 = 1.25.
the y-coordinate of c is 1 - (3/4)*(2) = -1/2 = -0.5.

At point p(x,y), we want d1 = 3d₂, or d₁² = 9d₂².
Therefore
(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 9[(x - 2)² + (y + 1)²]
x² + 2x + 1 + y² - 2y + 1 = 9x² - 36x + 36 + 9y² + 18y + 9
8x² - 38x + 8y² + 20y + 43 = 0
x² - 4.75x + y² + 2.5y + 5.375 = 0
(x - 2.375)² - 5.6406 + (y + 1.25)² - 1.5625 + 5.375 = 0
(x - 2.375)² + (y + 1.25)² = 1.828
This is a circle with center at (2.375, -1.25) and radius 1.352.

Answer:
(x - 2.375)² + (y +1.25)² = 1.828

What is the sequence of transformations that maps △ABC to △A′B′C′ ? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly identify each s
torisob [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Any 1 of the following transformations will work. There are others that are also possible.

  • translation up 4 units, followed by rotation CCW by 90°.
  • rotation CCW by 90°, followed by translation left 4 units.
  • rotation CCW 90° about the center (-2, -2).
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The order of vertices ABC is clockwise, as is the order of vertices A'B'C'. Thus, if reflection is involved, there are two (or some other even number of) reflections.

The orientation of line CA is to the east. The orientation of line C'A' is to the north, so the figure has been rotated 90° CCW. In general, such rotation can be accomplished by a single transformation about a suitably chosen center. Here, we're told there is <em>a sequence of transformations</em> involved, so a single rotation is probably not of interest.

If we rotate the figure 90° CCW, we find it ends up 4 units east of the final position. So, one possible transformation is 90° CCW + translation left 4 units.

If we rotate the final figure 90° CW, we find it ends up 4 units north of the starting position. So, another possible transformation is translation up 4 units + rotation 90° CCW.

Of course, rotation 90° CCW in either case is the same as rotation 270° CW.

_____

We have described transformations that will work. What we don't know is what is in your drop-down menu lists. There are many other transformations that will also work, so guessing the one you have available is difficult.

A right triangle has one 64degree angle and one 90 degree angle
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

I dont know what your asking, for the other angle? Ig so. Answer: THE OTHER ANGLE IS 26. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

64 + 90 = 154.

All triangles add up to 180 degrees.

180-154 = 26.

a deli sells a sandwich spread for 6.40 per pound. how much do you have to pay for 24 ounces of the spread
rjkz [21]
In the given question the most important part is convert ounce to pound and then the problem becomes easy. We already know
1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds
Then
24 ounce = 0.0625 * 24 pounds
                 = 1.5 pounds
Now let us focus on the problem in hand and the information's that are already given in the question.
The cost per pound of the sandwich sold by Deli = 6.40
Then
The cost of 1.5 pound of sandwich sold by Deli = 6.40 * 1.5
                                                                             = 9.60
So the cost of 24 ounces of spread is 9.60.

A password is 4 characters long and must consist of 3 letters and 1 of 10 special characters. If letters can be repeated and the
Ne4ueva [31]

The number of possibilities for constructing the 4 characters long password with specified conditions is given by: Option C: 703,040

<h3>What is the rule of product in combinatorics?</h3>

If a work A can be done in p ways, and another work B can be done in q ways, then both A and B can be done in p \times q ways.

Remember that this count doesn't differentiate between order of doing A first or B first then doing other work after the first work.

Thus, doing A then B is considered same as doing B then A

We're specified that:

  • The password needs to be 4 characters long
  • It must have 3 letters and 1 of 10 special characters.
  • Repetition is allowed.

So, each of 3 characters get 26 ways of being 1 letter. (assuming no difference is there between upper case letter and lower case letter).

And that 1 remaining character get 10 ways of being a special character.

So, by product rule, this choice (without ordering) can be done in:

26 \times 26 \times 26 \times 10 = 175760 ways.

Now, the password may look like one of those:

  1. L, L, L, S
  2. L, L, S, L
  3. L, S, L, L
  4. S, L, L, L

where S shows presence of special character and L shows presence of letter.

Those 175760 ways are available for each of those four ways.

Thus, resultant number of ways this can be done is:

175760 \times 4 = 703040

Thus, the number of possibilities for constructing the 4 characters long password with specified conditions is given by: Option C: 703,040

Using the numbers 0-6 once, make 2 equivalent ratios
fenix001 [56]

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to use the number 0-6 once to make 2 equivalent ratios.

so lets solve the problem.

Determining first equivalent ratio

as

  • 5 times 2 = 10

and

  • 32 times 2 = 64

so

  • Together will get 10/64

Therefore, first equivalent ratio

\:\frac{5}{32}=\frac{10}{64}

Determining second equivalent ratio

\frac{13}{65}=\frac{4}{20}

as

\frac{13}{65}=\frac{1}{5}

and

\frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}

Therefore, second equivalent ratio

\frac{13}{65}=\frac{4}{20}
