Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1   ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2  ....................equation 2</span>

Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)

The equation will be;

-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3

Now multiply equation 2 with (2)

The equation will be;

6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4

Now add equation 3 and equation 4

-6a – 9b = 3

<span>6a  + 10b = -4</span>

<span>------------------------------</span>

0a + b = -1

b = -1

Now put the value of b in equation 1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = -1+3

2a = 2

a=1

Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(2,3),B(-4,-3) and C(2,-3) find the coordinates of each point of concurrency.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Circumcenter =(-1,0)

Orthocenter =(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given : Points A = (2,3), B = (-4,-3), C = (2,-3)  

Formula used :  

→Mid point of two points- (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

→Slope of two points - \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})

→Perpendicular of a line = \frac{-1}{slope of line})

Circumcenter- The point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets.

Orthocenter-The intersecting point for all the altitudes of the triangle.

To find out the circumcenter we have to solve any two bisector equations.

We solve for line AB and AC

So, mid point of AB =(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = -1  

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) is,  

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))  

y+x=-1………………(1)  

Similarly, for AC  

Mid point of AC = (\frac{2+2}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(2,0)

Slope of AC = \frac{-3-3}{2-2}=\frac{-6}{0}  

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = 0  

Equation of AC with slope 0 and the coordinates (2,0) is,  

(y – 0) = 0(x – 2)  

y=0 ………………(2)  

By solving equation (1) and (2),  

put y=0 in equation (1)

y+x=-1

0+x=-1

⇒x=-1  

So the circumcenter(P)= (-1,0)

To find the orthocenter we solve the intersections of altitudes.

We solve for line AB and BC

So, mid point of AB =(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of CF = -1  

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) gives equation CF  

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))  

y+x=-1………………(3)  

Similarly, mid point of BC =(\frac{-4+2}{2},\frac{-3-3}{2})=(-1,-3)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3+3}{-4-2}=0

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of AD = 0

Equation of AB with slope 0 and the coordinates (-1,-3) gives equation AD

(y-(-3)) = 0(x – (-1))  

y+3=0

y=-3………………(4)  

Solve equation (3) and (4),

Put y=-3 in equation (3)

y+x=-1

-3+x=-1

x=2

Therefore, orthocenter(O)= (2,-3)

Let f(x)= lxl-3 Write a function g whose graph is a translation 5 units down of the graph of f.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

If the function "f(x) = lxl-3" were translated five units down the graph, g(x) would be lxl-8.

We must be familiar with function transformation and different forms of transformation in order to properly understand the question. When a function is transformed, the graph's curve either "moves to the left/right/up/down," "expands or compresses," or "reflects" to create a new function. For instance, by simply pushing the graph of the function g(x) = x2 up by 7 units, the graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 7 is generated. It is advantageous to convert a function since it saves us from having to create a new function from begin. Function transformations typically fall into one of three categories: 1. 2nd translation 3. dilation Reflection

The given query is about Translation of Function. To create a new function, translation moves the curve up or down and modifies its position. Translation comes in two flavours. Vertical and horizontal translation.

When the curve changes, "the function" shifts upward or downward. By doing this, a function of the form y = f(x) is transformed into f(x) ± k, where k stands for the vertical translation. In this case, the function moves up by k units if k > 0.

The function goes down by 'k' units if k < 0.

The curve in the given problem goes down by 5 units, so k = 5. Which is a vertical translation scenario. Consequently, y = f(x) becomes f(x) - k = g(x) and g(x) = f(x) - k = lxl-3 -5 = lxl - 8.

Therefore the new function after translation is g(x) =  lxl - 8.
