Perhaps the easiest way to find the midpoint between two given points is to average their coordinates: add them up and divide by 2.
A) The midpoint C' of AB is
.. (A +B)/2 = ((0, 0) +(m, n))/2 = ((0 +m)/2, (0 +n)/2) = (m/2, n/2) = C'
The midpoint B' is
.. (A +C)/2 = ((0, 0) +(p, 0))/2 = (p/2, 0) = B'
The midpoint A' is
.. (B +C)/2 = ((m, n) +(p, 0))/2 = ((m+p)/2, n/2) = A'
B) The slope of the line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
.. slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the values for A and A', we have
.. slope = (n/2 -0)/((m+p)/2 -0) = n/(m+p)
C) We know the line goes through A = (0, 0), so we can write the point-slope form of the equation for AA' as
.. y -0 = (n/(m+p))*(x -0)
.. y = n*x/(m+p)
D) To show the point lies on the line, we can substitute its coordinates for x and y and see if we get something that looks true.
.. (x, y) = ((m+p)/3, n/3)
Putting these into our equation, we have
.. n/3 = n*((m+p)/3)/(m+p)
The expression on the right has factors of (m+p) that cancel*, so we end up with
.. n/3 = n/3 . . . . . . . true for any n
_____
* The only constraint is that (m+p) ≠ 0. Since m and p are both in the first quadrant, their sum must be non-zero and this constraint is satisfied.
The purpose of the exercise is to show that all three medians of a triangle intersect in a single point.
-16t^2+400=0
16t^2=400
take square root on both sides.
4t=20
t=20/4
t=5
Linear means the highest exponent on the placholder is 1
it is also just a straight line
y=|x| is like y=(√x)², it is 2 straight lines
B. y=x², exponent is 2 so no
C. y=-3x³, exponent is 3, so no
D. y=1/4x, yep
D is the answer
Answer:
11/15 < 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5/6 = 10/12, so the first answer is not correct
2. 1/4 = 4/16, so the second answer is not correct
3. 3/4 = 9/12 and 4/6 = 8/12, so the third answer is not correct
4. 4/5 = 12/15 > 11/15, so this answer is correct
They are both in the thousands places
