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

Mathematics

Leviafan [203]3 years ago

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

What are the mean absolute deviation and population standard deviation of this data set? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

For a data set of N elements:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The mean is:

M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}

The mean absolute deviation is:

MAD = \frac{|x_1 - M| + ... + |x_n - M|}{N}

And the population standard deviation is:

PSD = \frac{\sqrt{|x_1 - M|^2 + ... + |x_n - M|^2} }{\sqrt{N}}

In this case, our set has 5 elements, and the set is:

{2, 4, 6, 9, 14}

The mean of this set is:

M = \frac{2 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 14}{5} = 7

The mean absolute deviation is:

MAD = \frac{|2 - 7| + |4 - 7| + |6 - 7|+ |9 - 7| + |14 - 7| }{5} = 3.6

And the population standard deviation is:

PSD =  \sqrt{\frac{|2 - 7|^2 + |4 - 7|^2 + |6 - 7|^2+ |9 - 7|^2 + |14 - 7|^2 }{5}} = 4.2

What is 5(n- 1/10) = 1/2
Olegator [25]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we need to isolate the "n."

Get 5 to the other side by dividing both sides by 5

(n-1/10)= 1/2 ÷(5)

Multiply the 2 and the 5 of the equation.

(n-1/10)= 1/10

Next, move the fraction on the left side, to the right.

n= 2/10

Reduce.

n= 1/5

What is the relationship between a scalene triangle and the location of its orthocenter? Explain.
Sladkaya [172]

D:

The orthocenter will be inside, on, or outside the scalene triangle, depending on whether it is acute, right, or obtuse, respectively. The number of congruent sides does not affect the location of the orthocenter.
