1 ton = 2000 lbs
so we just need to divide 50,000 by 2000 and we have our answer
$\frac{50000}{2000} =$ 25 tons

5. Find the point P along the directed line segment from X(-3, 3) to Y(6,-3) that divides

ASHA 777 [7]

Consider point P(x,y) such that P, X and Y are collinear,

As vectors

XP = XO + OZ where O(0,0)
XP = OZ - OX
XP= (x,y) - (-3,3)
XP = (x+3, y-3)

Similarly,

PY = (6-x, -3-y)

But XP= 2^PY

[x+3, y-3] = [2(6-x), 2(-3-y)]

Given both vectors are equal, as they go in the same direction, Solve for x and y accordingly:

x+3 = 12 - 2x

x = 3

y-3 = -6-2y

y = -1

Therefore, P(3,-1)

Write the expression as a whole number with a negative exponent. Do not evaluate the expression.

Answer: $\frac{1}{3^6}=3^{-6}$

Explanation: Denominators of a fraction can be equivalently written as their value to the power of negative 1. In this case the denominator expression itself has an exponent of 6, which taken to the power of negative one becomes -6:

$\frac{1}{3^6}=(3^6)^{-1}=3^{6(-1)}=3^{-6}$
