Answer:

Point B is (10 , -4)

Point D is (10/9 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rule of the point which divides of a line segment in

 a ratio

- If point (x , y) divides the line segment AB, where A is (x1 , y1) and

 B is (x2 , y2) in the ratio m1 : m2

∴ x = [m2(x1) + m1(x2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ y = [m2(y1) + m1(y2)]/(m1 + m2)

* Now lets solve the problem

- Point C (3.6 , -0.4) divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2, where A is (-6 , 5)

# x = 3.6 , y = -0.4

# A is (x1 , y1) , B is (x2 , y2)

∴ x1 = -6 , y1 = 5

∵ m1 : m2 = 3 : 2

- Substitute these values in the rule

∵ x = [m2(x1) + m1(x2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ 3.6 = [2(-6) + 3(x2)]/(3 + 2)

∴ 3.6  = [-12 + 3x2]/5 ⇒ multiply both sides by 5

∴ 18 = -12 + 3x2 ⇒ add 12 to both sides

∴ 30 = 3x2 ⇒ divide both sides by 3

∴ 10 = x2

* The x-coordinate of B is 10

∵ y = [m2(y1) + m1(y2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ -0.4 = [2(5) + 3(y2)]/(3 + 2)

∴ -0.4 = [10 + 3y]/5 ⇒ multiply both sides by 5

∴ -2 = 10 + 3y2 ⇒ subtract 10 from both sides

∴ -12 = 3x2 ⇒ divide both sides by 3

∴ -4 = y2

* The y-coordinate of B is -4

∴ Point B is (10 , -4)

- Point D divides AB in the ratio 4 : 5 where A (-6 , 5) and B (10 , -4)

- To find the coordinates of point D use the same rule above

# D is (x , y)

# A is (x1 , y1) and B is (x2 , y2)

# m1 : m2 is 4 : 5

∵ x1 = -6 and y1 = 5

∵ x2 = 10 and y2 = -4

∵ m1 = 4 and m2 = 5

- Substitute these values in the rule

∵ x = [m2(x1) + m1(x2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ x = [5(-6) + 4(10)]/(4 + 5) ⇒ multiply the numbers

∴ x = [-30 + 40]/9 ⇒ add

∴ x = [10]/9 ⇒ Divide

∴ x = 10/9

* The x-coordinate of D is 10/9

∵ y = [m2(y1) + m1(y2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ y = [5(5) + 4(-4)]/(5 + 4) ⇒ multiply the numbers

∴ y = [25 + -16]/9 ⇒ add

∴ y = [9]/9 ⇒ Divide

∴ y = 1

* The y-coordinate of point D is 1

∴ Point D is (10/9 , 1)

Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $3,159 was collected on the sale of 1,339 ticket
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

  • 455 adult tickets
  • 884 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 1339-a is the number of student tickets sold. The revenue collected was ...

  5a + 1(1339-a) = 3159

  4a = 1820 . . . . . . subtract 1339, collect terms

  a = 455 . . . . . . . . divide by 4; adult tickets sold

  (1339-a) = 884 . . . . student tickets sold

455 adult tickets and 884 student tickets were sold.

What set of three numbers could represent the lengths of the side of a right triangle?
klemol [59]

Answer:

C.) 5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides must equal the square of the longest side (Pythagoras).

a² + b² = c²

We can test each set of numbers to see which one fits.

A.) 8² +  12² =   16²

    64 + 144 = 256

           208 ≠ 256

B.) 6² +  7² =  8²

   36 + 49 = 64

           85 ≠ 64

C.) 5² +  12² =   13²

    25 + 144 = 169

            169 = 169

The numbers 5, 12, and 13 could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

D.) 16² +    32² =    36²

   256 + 1024 = 1296

              1280 ≠ 1296

The answer is B since he bought 4 in all it is x+y =4 . x=dvd y= blue ray discs .

so 2x + 5y =11
2x since dvds are $2
5y since blue ray discs are $5
11 since that’s the total

Law of Sines, due by tonight
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

21^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Sines is given by \frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c} and works for every triangle.

Substituting given values, we have the following equation:

\frac{\sin 68^{\circ}}{18}=\frac{\sin C}{7}, \\\\\sin C=\frac{7\sin 68^{\circ}}{18},\\\\C=\sin^{-1}(0.36057149899),\\\\C\approx \boxed{21^{\circ}}

*Note that because \sin \theta=\sin(180-\theta), when solving for an angle with the Law of Sines, there may be two answers. However, since the problem designates angle C as an acute angle, the other angle is negligible.
