Three points are collinear.

Answer:

Three points are collinear if they belong to the same line. Also if their Determinant equals zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have A (-6, 2) B(-3,-1) and D(-5, 1). Are they collinear?

Well, let's plug in the values in a Matrix and then calculate its Determinant this way:

Plug ig the values for x, y and complete it with 1 in the 3rd column.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&y&1\\&&1\\&&1\end{array}\right]

Applying:

Det=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&2&1\\-3&-1&1\\-5&1&1\end{array}\right]=0

Doing the calculation, the Determinant equals zero, what gives us an Analytical Geometry proof of its collinearity.

If they are in the same line yes. If they aren't then its considered non-collinear.

Show how to solve 8x^2+14x+5=0 by completing the square.
Phoenix [80]
8 x² + 14 x + 5 = 0
2 ( 4 x² + 7 x ) = - 5
2 ( 4 x² + 7 x + 49/16 - 49/16 ) = -5
2 ( 4 x² + 7 x + 49/16 ) - 98/16 = - 5
2 ( 2 x + 7/4 )² = - 5 + 98/16
2 ( 2 x + 7/4 )² = -80/16 + 98/16
2 ( 2 x + 7/4 )² = 18/16 = 9/8       / : 2
( 2 x + 7/4 )² = 9/16     / √
2 x + 7/4 = 3/4
2 x = 3/4 - 7/4 = -1
x = - 1
and  2 x + 7/4 = -3/4
2 x = -7/4 - 3/4 = - 10/4= -5/2
x = - 5 / 4

There are 3 ladies for every 2 men qt a party if there are 40 men at the party how many ladies are at the party . show your work
Lynna [10]
Ok so the constant is 3:2 so if we do x for women then it would be x:40. To find x we do 40/2 which is 20 so then you multiply 20 to 3 to get the amount of women for every 40 men which is 60 women
B)60
40:60
I hope that helps

Answer:

$14.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Ria earns 1.2 times more than Peter does

Peter earns $12.40

To solve, you have to multiply the amount peter has by 1.2

12.40(1.2) = 14.88

Therefore, Ria earns $14.88
