Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
8 x 2 = 16
4 x 2 = 8
Answer:
x = -9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Divide 9 by -1/3:
÷ 
= · 
= -27
2. Divide both sides by 2:
2(x - 9) = -27
(x - 9) = 
3. Add 9 to both sides:
x = 
(or 4.5 if you need it in decimal form)
hope this helps!
Answer:2,820
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 3,000 by 0.03 which will get you 90 which is 3% of that for one year and for two years you just multiply 90 by 2 and get 180. subtract 180 from 3,000
Answer:
In the given figure the point on segment PQ is twice as from P as from Q is. What is the point? Ans is (2,1).
Step-by-step explanation:
There is really no need to use any quadratics or roots.
( Consider the same problem on the plain number line first. )
How do you find the number between 2 and 5 which is twice as far from 2 as from 5?
You take their difference, which is 3. Now splitting this distance by ratio 2:1 means the first distance is two thirds, the second is one third, so we get
4=2+23(5−2)
It works completely the same with geometric points (using vector operations), just linear interpolation: Call the result R, then
R=P+23(Q−P)
so in your case we get
R=(0,−1)+23(3,3)=(2,1)
Why does this work for 2D-distances as well, even if there seem to be roots involved? Because vector length behaves linearly after all! (meaning |t⋅a⃗ |=t|a⃗ | for any positive scalar t)
Edit: We'll try to divide a distance s into parts a and b such that a is twice as long as b. So it's a=2b and we get
s=a+b=2b+b=3b
⇔b=13s⇒a=23s
