Find the point P that is 2/5 of the way from A to B on the directed line segment AB

Mathematics

Kruka [31]3 years ago

The point P(–4, 4) that is \frac{2}{5} of the way from A to B on the directed line segment AB.

Solution:

The points of the line segment are A(–8, –2) and B(6, 19).

P is the point that bisect the line segment in \frac{2}{5}.

So, m = 2 and n = 5.

x_1=-8, y_1=-2, x_2=6, y_2=19

By section formula:

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{2\times 6+5\times (-8)}{2+5}, \frac{2\times 19+5\times (-2)}{2+5}\right)

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{12-40}{7}, \frac{38-10}{7}\right)

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{-28}{7}, \frac{28}{7}\right)

P(x, y) = (–4, 4)

Hence the point P(–4, 4) that is \frac{2}{5} of the way from A to B on the directed line segment AB.

Find the volume of the prism.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

C = 210cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get an estamate when we use the equation L x H x W = x/2

This shows 8 x 8 x 7,  then divide by 2 = 224cm^3

The reason it is slightly less could be the facts the teachers want you to remember this one.

For right side prism the equation is (1/2)b x h x  H

which means;

The volume of a triangular prism can be found by multiplying the base times the height. Both of the pictures of the Triangular prisms below illustrate the same formula. The formula, in general, is the area of the base (the red triangle in the picture on the right) times the height,h.

We use the side and base that surrounds the right side as (1/2)base and as side to find area then use the H as the height being the 7.

For an essay contest, Annika needs to write 400 words with an absolute deviation of less than 10 words. Using w as a variable, w
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The absolute value inequality to represent the situation is presented as follows;

\left | w -400  \right |

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The number of words Annika needs to write = 400 words

The absolute deviation of the number of words Annika needs to write = 10 words

When we let the number of words Annika write = w, we have;

The absolute value inequality given that the absolute deviation of the number of words is 10 is given as follows;

\left | w -400  \right |

Therefore we have;

\left | w -400  \right |  gives the statement, -10 < w - 400 < 10.
