Answer:

(-8, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

Line segment JL with J(8, -8) and L(-16, -2)

<h3>To find</h3>

Coordinates of K if K divides JL two-thirds from J

<h3>Solution</h3>

JK = 2/3JL

<u>Coordinates of K</u>

x = 8 + 2/3(-16 - 8) = 8 + 2/3(-24) = 8 - 16 = - 8
y = -8 + 2/3(-2 - (-8)) = -8 + 2/3(6) = -8 + 4 = - 4
K = (-8, -4)

A car travels 20 mph slower in a bad rain storm than in sunny weather. the car travels the same distance in 2 hrs in sunny weath

ycow [4]

You can create two equations.

"<span>A car travels 20 mph slower in a bad rain storm than in sunny weather."
</span>
$\sf x-20=y$

Where 'x' represents speed in sunny weather and 'y' represents speed in rainy weather.

"<span>The car travels the same distance in 2 hrs in sunny weather as it does in 3 hrs in rainy weather."

$\sf 2x=3y$

</span>Where 'x' represents speed in sunny weather and 'y' represents speed in rainy weather.

We want to find the speed of the car in sunny weather, or 'x'. Plug in the value for 'y' in the first equation into the second equation.

$\sf \boxed{\sf x-20}=y$
$\sf 2x=3y\rightarrow2x=3(x-20)$

Distribute:

$\sf 2x=3x-60$

Subtract 3x to both sides:

$\sf -x=-60$

Divide -1 to both sides:

$\sf x=60$

So the car goes 60 mph in sunny weather.

A cable television compan is laying cable in an area with underground utilities. Two subdivisions are located on opposite sides

Schach [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Point Q = Q is on the north bank 1200 m east of P $40/m to lay cable underground and $80/m way to lay the cable.

Lets denote T be a point on north bank, therefore, point T is t m east and 100m north of P.

Note that 0 < t < 1200

Distance from P to T using Pythagoras theorem:

PT^2 = PQ^2 + QT^2

PT = √(t²+100²) = √(t²+10,000)

Distance from T to Q:

TQ = 1200 - t

From above, Cable from P to T is underwater, and costs $80/m to lay.

Cable from T to Q is underground, and costs $40/m to lay.

Total cost of the cable:

C(t) = 80√(t²+10,000) + 40(1200 - t)

Cost is at its minimum: when dC/dt = C'(t) = 0 and d^2C/dt^2 = C''(t) > 0

dC/dt = C'(t)

= 80 * 1/2 (t² + 10,000)^(-1/2) × 2t + 40 × (-1)

dC/dt = C'(t)

= 80t/√(t² + 10,000) - 40 = 0

80t/√(t² + 10,000) = 40

80t = 40√(t² + 10,000)

2t = √(t² + 10,000)

square both sides:

4t² = t² + 10,000

3t² = 10,000

t² = 10,000/3

t = 100/√3

≈ 57.735

d^2C/dt^2 =

C''(t) = [80√(t² + 10,000) - 80t × t/√(t²+10,000)] /√(t²+10,000)

C''(t) = [(80(t²+10,000) - 80t²) / √(t²+10,000)] /√(t²+10,000)

C''(t) = 800,000 / (t² + 10,000)^(3/2)

C''(t) > 0 for all t

Therefore C(t) is minimized at t = 100/√3

C(100/√3) = 80√(10,000/3 + 10,000) + 40 × (1200 - 100/√3)

= 80 √(40,000/3) + 48,000 - 4000/√3

= 16000/√3 + 48,000 - 4000/√3

= 48,000 + 12,000/√3

= 48,000 + 4,000√3

= 4000 (12 + √3)

≈ 54,928.20

Minimum cost is $54,928.20

This occurs when cable is laid underwater from point P to point T(57.735 m east and 100m north of P) and then underground from point T to point Q (1200 - 57.735)

= 1142.265 m
