Find the coordinates of the point three tenths of the way from A(-4, -8) to B(11, 7)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]3 years ago
4 0

let's first off take a peek at those values.

let's say the point with those coordinates is point C, so C is 3/10 of the way from A to B.

meaning, we take the segment AB and cut it in 10 equal pieces, AC takes 3 pieces, and CB takes 7 pieces, namely AC and CB are at a 3:7 ratio.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
A(-4,-8)\qquad B(11,7)\qquad
\qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{3:7}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{A\underline{C}}{\underline{C} B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies 7A=3B\implies 7(-4,-8)=3(11,7)\\\\[-0.35em]
~\dotfill\\\\
C=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em]
~\dotfill


\bf C=\left(\cfrac{(7\cdot -4)+(3\cdot 11)}{3+7}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(7\cdot -8)+(3\cdot 7)}{3+7}\right)
\\\\\\
C=\left( \cfrac{-28+33}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{-56+21}{10} \right)\implies C=\left( \cfrac{5}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{-35}{10} \right)
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
~\hfill C=\left( \frac{1}{2}~,~-\frac{7}{2} \right)~\hfill

180

Step-by-step explanation:

hours = constant / temperature     hours varies inversely as the temperature

3 = c / 60

c (constant) = 3 * 60 = 180

What is the interquartile range of the data set?
anastassius [24]

The interquartile range of the data set will be 30.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Given data set: { 40, 48, 62, 60, 62, 40, 25, 50, 20, 30, 55 }

First we will rearrange the data in numeric order. So...

{ 20, 25, <u><em>30</em></u>, 40, 40, 48, 50, 55, <u><em>60</em></u>, 62, 62 }

Here the middle value in the set is 48. So, the median is 48 and it is diving the whole set into two different data sets. The median of the first set is 30 and median of the second set is 60.

That means, Lower quartile(Q₁) = 30 and Upper quartile(Q₃) = 60

So, the interquartile range of the data set: IQR= Q₃ - Q₁ = 60 - 30 = 30
