<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)

what is the simplified form of the following expression? Assume X 0 and y 0. 2(^4 sqrt 16 x) -2(^4 sqrt 2y )+3 (^4 sqrt 81x ) -4
eduard

For this case we have the following expression:

2(\sqrt[4]{16x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(\sqrt[4]{81x})-4(\sqrt[4]{32y})

Rewriting the numbers within the roots we have:

2(\sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(\sqrt[4]{3*3*3*3x})-4(\sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2*2y})

Then, by properties of powers we have:

2(\sqrt[4]{2^4x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(\sqrt[4]{3^4x})-4(\sqrt[4]{2^42y})

Then, by radical properties we have:

2(2\sqrt[4]{x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(3\sqrt[4]{x})-4(2\sqrt[4]{2y})

Rewriting the expression we have:

4\sqrt[4]{x}-2\sqrt[4]{2y}+9\sqrt[4]{x}-8\sqrt[4]{2y}

Finally, adding similar terms we have:

(4+9)\sqrt[4]{x}-(2+8)\sqrt[4]{2y}

13\sqrt[4]{x}-10\sqrt[4]{2y}

Answer:

The simplified form of the expression is:

13\sqrt[4]{x}-10\sqrt[4]{2y}
