Answer:
C = (2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
B = (10 ; 2)
M = (6 ; 2)
C = (x ; y )
|___________|___________|
B (10;2) M (6;2) C ( x; y)
So:
dBM = dMC
√[(2-2)^2 + (6-10)^2] = √[(y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2]
(2-2)^2 - (6-10)^2 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2
0 + (-4)^2 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2
16 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2
16 - (x - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2
Also:
2*dBM = dBC
2*√[(2-2)^2 + (6-10)^2] = √[(y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2]
4*[(0)^2 + (-4)^2] = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2
4*(16) = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2
64 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2
64 = 16 - (x - 6)^2 + (x - 10)^2
48 = (x - 10)^2 - (x - 6)^2
48 = x^2 - 20*x + 100 - x^2 + 12*x - 36
48 = - 20*x + 100 + 12*x - 36
8*x = 16
x = 2
Thus:
16 - (x - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2
16 - (2 - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2
16 - (-4)^2 = (y-2)^2
16 - 16 = (y-2)^2
0 = (y-2)^2
0 = y - 2
2 = y
⇒ C = (2,2)
Each person rode 2.9 miles and A total of 8 ones and 7 tenths are shaded to model the total length of the race. The shading is equally divided into 3 groups to model the 3 riders. And each group has 2 ones and 9 tenths shaded to model the distance each person rode
The answer is $8.43 for this question
