Step 1

<u>Find the distance KJ in the x-coordinate</u>

we know that

the distance between two points with only one coordinate is equal to

d=\left|x_2-x_1\right|

substitute the values

d=\left|9-1\right|=8\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the x-coordinate of the point  that divides the directed line segment from K to J into a ratio of 1:3</u>

we know that

the ratio is 1:3

so

1+3=4

Divided the distance  KJ in the x-coordinate by 4

8/4=2\ units

Adds the x-coordinate of J to  3 times  2\ units

1+3*(2)=7\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

7\ units

Since we need a point that divides K-->J into two segments in a 1:3 ratio, let's flip it to a 3:1 ratio in the J-->K direction. That means that this point is 3/(3+1) = 3/4 of the way up line JK.
Let's take 3/4 of the x of K (plus the 1 for the x of J):
3/4×(9 - 1) + 1 (because the beginning ofvthe line, at J, has an x of 1)...
3/4×(8) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
Therefore the answer is C) 7

Find the number that comes after 144five
Over [174]

Answer:

The number that comes after 144five is:

= 200five.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding 1 to 144 base 5 will result in:

144

+  1

= 200

b) To obtain the next number that comes after 144five, add 1five to 144five.  Since the numbers are in base 5, 1five added to 4five will result in 0 with 1 carried backward.  When 1 is added to the next 4, the result will be 0 with 1 carried backward.  1 added to 1 = 2, all in base 5.  Figures in base 5 cannot exceed 4.  The usual numbers for a base 5 operation are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

For which interval does this quadratic inequality hold true?
adoni [48]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-4x-12≤0

x²-6x+2x-12≤0

x(x-6)+2(x-6)≤0

(x-6)(x+2)≤0

x=6,-2

∴ value of x lies between -2 & 6

Determine the number of ways a computer can randomly generate one or more such integers from 1 through 30. Two distinct integers
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

There are 26 possible way to determine two  distinct integers whose sum is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The number of ways a computer can randomly generate one or more such integers from 1 through 30. Two distinct integers whose sum is 27.

Solution :

We have given the numbers from  1,2,3,4......,29,30.

In order to get two distinct numbers having the sum 27,

There are the possibilities :

1+26=27

2+25=27

3+24=27

......

24+3=27

25+2=27

26+1=27

The maximum number taken is 26.

So, There are 26 possible way to determine two  distinct integers whose sum is 27.
