The easiest way to do this is to realize this is a <em>weighted average</em> of the two points.  (A weighted average is a linear combination where the coefficients add to one.)


(x,y) = (1-t)C + tD


where t is a real parameter. When t=0 we're at point C, when t=1 we're at point D. We're interested in t=1/4,


(x,y)= (3/4) C + (1/4) D


We're only asked for the x coordinate:


x = (3/4) (1) + (1/4) (-4) = 3/4 - 1 = - 1/4


Answer: \quad - \dfrac 1 4

What is an equation for a sine curve with amplitude 2, and period 4pi radians ?
Nezavi [6.7K]
<span>1. a sine curve with amplitude 2, and period 4pi radians
</span>
the general equation of the sine curve ⇒⇒ y = a sin (nθ)
where: a is the amplitude  and  n = 2π/perid
∵ <span>amplitude 2, and period 4pi radians
</span>
∴ y = 2 sin (θ/2)

The correct answer is option D. y = 2 sin (θ/2)
===========================================

<span>2.The period and amplitude of the function ⇒⇒ y = 5 cos 2θ
</span>
<span>comparing with y = a cos nθ
</span>
where : a is the amplitude  and  n = 2π/period
<span>amplitude = 5  , period = 2π/n = 2π/2 = π
</span>

The correct answer is option B. Period: pi radians: Amplitude:5

============================================================
3. tan (2π/3) = tan 120° = -√3 
120° lie in the second quadrant and its reference angle = 180° - 120° = 60°
tan function in the second quadrant is negative
∴ tan 120° = - tan 60 = -√3

The correct answer is C. -sqrt3

=====================================================
4. <span>Tan 5π/6 = tan 150° = -(√3)/3
</span>
150° lies in the second quadrant and its reference angle = 180° - 150° = 30°
tan function in the second quadrant is negative
∴ tan 150° = - tan 30 = -(√3)/3

The correct answer is <span>B.-sqrt3/3</span>

The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side. The third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice t
Svetlanka [38]

The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side

(s+4) = the 2nd side

and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.

(2s-4) = the 3rd side

If the perimeter of the deck is 48 ​feet, what are the lengths of the three​ sides?

s + (s+4) + (2s-4) = 48

Combine like terms

s + s + 2s + 4 - 4 = 48

4s = 48

s = 48/4

s = 12 ft is the shortest side

I'll let you find the 2nd and 3rd sides, ensure they add up to 48

Hope this helps!
