LM has the endpoints L at –5 and M at 9. To find the point x so that x divides the directed line segment LM in a 2:3 ratio, use

the formula x = (x2 – x1) + x1.
x = (9 – (–5)) + (–5)

Answer:

The value of point x is \frac{3}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that LM has the endpoints L at –5 and M at 9.

The point x divides the directed line segment LM in a 2:3 ratio.

The given formula is

x=\frac{m}{m+n}(x_2-x_1)+x_1

Using above formula we get

x=\frac{2}{2+3}(9-(-5))+(-5)

x=\frac{2}{5}(9+5)-5

x=\frac{2}{5}(14)-5

x=\frac{28}{5}-5

x=\frac{28-25}{5}

x=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore the value of point x is \frac{3}{5}.

What is the nth term rule of the quadratic sequence below?<br> 8,14,22,32 ,44, 58, 74...
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

y=n^2+3n+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequence,S: 8,14,22,32 ,44, 58, 74...

First differences of S: 6,8,10,12,14,16,...

Second differences of S: 2,2,2,2,2,2,....

It is indeed a quadratic since the 1st differences that are the same are the second differences.

So the 1st term is 8. If the 0th term was listes it would be 4 since 8-4=4 and 6-4=2.

This means our quadratic it is in the form

y=an^2+bn+c where c=4.

So we have y=an^2+bn+4.

Now we can find a and b using two points from our sequence to form a system of equations to solve.

(1,8) gives us 8=a(1)^2+b(1)+4

Simplifying gives 8=a+b+4

Subtracting 4 on both sides gives: 4=a+b

(2,14) gives us 14=a(2)^2+b(2)+4

Simplifying gives 14=4a+2b+4

Subtracting 4 on both sides gives 10=4a+2b

So we have the following system to solve:

4=a+b

10=4a+2b

I'm going to solve using elimination/linear combination style.

Dividing second equation by 2 gives the system as:

4=a+b

5=2a+b

Subtract the 2nd equation from the first gives:

-1=-1a

This implies a=1 since -1=-1(1) is true.

If a+b=4 and a=1, then b=3. Because 3+1=4.

So the equation is y=1n^2+3n+4 or y=n^2+3n+4.

12 is 90% of what number?<br><br><br> with steps
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • Here 12 is 90% of a number.
  • So we can say that 90% of That number is 12 .
  • In this way we can get the the number
<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Let,

the number=x

<h3>According to the question ,</h3>

{:}\longrightarrow\sf 90\% \:of \;x=12

  • We know 90%=90/100
  • so add it

{:}\longrightarrow\sf {\dfrac {90}{100}}\times x=12

{:}\longrightarrow\sf {\dfrac {90x}{100}}=12

  • Now use cross multiplication method

{:}\longrightarrow\sf 90x=12\times 100

{:}\longrightarrow\sf 90x=1200

  • Now interchange sides .

{:}\longrightarrow\sf x={\dfrac {1200}{90}}

{:}\longrightarrow\sf x={\dfrac {200}{15}}

  • Answer will come in decimals so we take approximate value.

{:}\longrightarrow\sf x=13.3

{:}\longrightarrow\sf x=approximately \:13

\thereforeThe number is 13.

12(7x)^1/5

This is simplification into index form, the index itself is the 5th root of 7x if you just wanted to state what it is
