Answer:
- (1,3) is inside the triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.
We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.
<h3>Side QR</h3>
- m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5
<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>
<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>
- y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2
<h3>Side RS</h3>
- m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1
<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>
<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>
- y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4
The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.
<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>
- 5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
- 5x + 1 = -2x + 8
- 7x = 7
- x = 1
<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>
The orthocenter is (1, 3)
If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle
$7881.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial Investment be
. The Interest is compounded on a monthly basis at 12% annual interest rate. After 17 years, the Investment amounts to $60,000.
As the annual interest rate is 12%, the monthly interest rate is 1%.
Since this is a compound interest problem, the total amount can be modeled as follows: 
Here
is the interest rate, i.e
, and t is the number of time periods, i.e
= 


∴ Initial Investment = $7881.18
Ok to find this we have to divide 12,000/5770 to find the number of half lives
we get <span>2.07972270364
we can round this decimal to 3
3 half lives</span>
Answer:
1/5 and 3/4 difference is —
-11/20
