QUESTION 1

The point  C(3.6, -0.4) divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2.

The coordinates of A are (-6, 5).

Let the coordinates of B be (x_2,y_2)

We use the formula:

x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} to determine the x-coordinate of B.

We substitute the known values to obtain:

3.6=\frac{3x_2+2(-6)}{3+2}

3.6=\frac{3x_2-12)}{5}

3.6\times 5=3x_2-12

18=3x_2-12

18+12=3x_2

30=3x_2

This implies that:

x_2=10

We also use the formula:

y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} to find the y-coordinate.

-0.4=\frac{3y_2+2(5)}{3+2}

-0.4=\frac{3y_2+10}{5}

-0.4\times 5=3y_2+10

-2-10=3y_2

-12=3y_2

-4=y_2

The coordinates of B are (10,-4)

QUESTION 2.

If point D divides CD in the ratio 4 : 5.

Then the coordinates of D are:

(\frac{4(10)+5(3.6)}{4+5}, \frac{4(-4)+5(-0.4)}{4+5})

(\frac{58}{9}, \frac{-18}{9})

The coordinates of D are (\frac{58}{9}, -2)

Subtract and simplify 10 - 5 1/8
asambeis [7]
10 - 5 1/8

Convert 5 1/8 into an improper fraction.

We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number and adding it to the numerator, and wee keep the denominator.

8 * 5 = 40 + 1 = 41/8

10 - 41/8

Convert 10 to a denominator of 8:

10 * 8 = 80
1 * 8 = 8

80/8 = 41/8

Subtract the numerators together and keep the denominator:

39/8

Convert to a mixed number:

4 7/8

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The probability that a random alcoholic can kick the habit without professional help is 0.273 .

<h3>What is Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the study of likeliness of an event to happen.

It has a range of 0 to 1 , where 0 indicates uncertainty and 1 indicates certainty.

It is given that

The alcoholics that need professional help to stop drinking is 72.7 %

Therefore the probability of this is 72.7 /100 = 0.727

The probability that they will not need professional help is given by

q = 1 - p

q = 1 -0.727

q = 0.273

Therefore the probability that a random alcoholic can kick the habit without professional help is 0.273 .
