Answer:

The ratio of AC/CB=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

We substitute the point A(-1.5,0) and B(4.5,8).

We plug in the points to get:

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n})

This is supposed to be equal to: (0,2).

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n}) = (0,2)

We can equate, corresponding coordinates to find m and n.

\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m + n}  = 0

This implies that:

4.5m - 1.5n = 0

4.5m  = 1.5n

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1.5}{4.5}

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1}{3}

Therefore the ratio is m:n=1:3

Can anyone see now? <br> I really need help
butalik [34]
3. Yes the cost of each item is proportional because in each pack each t-shirt cost $2.33. You can check that by dividing the amount of money each pack cost by the amount of shirts in each pack. For example the pack of 3 is $7, so 7/3 = $2.33. The pack of 5 cost $11.65, so 11.65/5 = $2.33. And the pack of 7 cost $16.31, so 16.31/7 = $2.33

4) Yes, it is proportional because each x is being squared or multiplied by it’s self.

Three points are colinear.<br> always<br> sometimes <br> never
Novosadov [1.4K]
Three or more points are collinear, if slope of any two pairs of points is same. With three points A, B and C, three pairs of points can be formed, they are: AB, BC and AC. If Slope of AB = slope of BC = slope of AC, then A, B and C are collinear points

Video Example EXAMPLE 1 Find the linearization of the function f(x) = x + 1 at a = 3 and use it to approximate the numbers 3.98
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

  the linearization is y = 1/4x +5/4

  the linearization will produce <em>overestimates</em>

  the values computed from this linearization are ...

     f(3.98) ≈ 2.245

     f(4.05) ≈ 2.2625

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you have ...

  f(x)=\sqrt{x+1}

from which you have correctly determined that ...

  f'(x)=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}

so that f(3) = 2 and f'(3) = 1/4. Putting these values into the point-slope form of the equation of a line, we get the linearization ...

  g(x) = (1/4)(x -3) +2

  g(x) = (1/4)x +5/4

__

The values from this linearization will be overestimates, as the curve f(x) is concave downward everywhere. The tangent (linearization) is necessarily above the curve everywhere.

__

At the given values, we find ...

  g(3.98) = 2.245

  g(4.05) = 2.2625
