<u>ANSWER</u>: The centroid is (1,3)


<u>Explanation:</u>

The centroid is the intersection of the medians of the triangle.

So we need to find the equation of any two of the medians and solve simultaneously.


Since the median is the straight line from one vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, we find the midpoint of any two sides.


We find the midpoint of AC using the formula;

N=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})



N=(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{1+2}{2})


N=(\frac{2}{2}, \frac{3}{2})


N=(1, \frac{3}{2})


The equation of the median passes through B(1,6) and N=(1, \frac{3}{2}).


This line is parallel to the y-axis hence has equation

x=1-------first median.



We also find the midpoint M of BC.

M=(\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{6+2}{2})


M=(\frac{6}{2}, \frac{8}{2})


M=(3, 4)


The slope of the median, AM is


Slope_{AM}=\frac{4-1}{3--3}


Slope_{AM}=\frac{3}{6}


Slope_{AM}=\frac{1}{2}


The equation of the median AM is given by;


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)


We use the point M and the slope of AM.


y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x-3)


2y-8=(x-3)


2y-x=-3+8


2y-x=5-------Second median

We now solve the equation of the two medians simultaneously by putting x=1 in to the equation of the second median.


2y-1=5


2y=5+1


2y=6


y=3


Hence the centroid has coordinates (1,3)

How can you find 5% of any number using mental math?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure my way is going to be any quicker or better. Let's take an example.

Suppose you start with 456

Put a decimal at the end of the 6.   You get 456.

Shift the decimal to the left one place           45.6

Divide by 2

22.8 (done mentally)

Note: dividing by 2 is easier than dividing by 5. Or multiplying by 5 for that matter.

Check the result.

456 * 5/100 =2280 / 100.

Shift a decimal 2 places to the left.

22.80 which agrees with your result.

F(x) = 30.eˣ
We notice that the graph intercept y-axis at 30
in f(x) = 30.eˣ , for x=0, e⁰ =1 and f(x) = 30
In short it's the only function that has a y-intercept = 30 (answer B)

Answer:

1. a + b + c = 180

2. b + d = 180

3. d = a + c

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a + b + c = 180:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180

2. b + d = 180:

Angles in a straight line equal 180 because they are supplementary angles

3. d = a + c:

ΔACD is an exterior angle, and ΔACB is interior adjacent, hence ∠a and ∠c add up to ∠d
