\text{Let the coordinates of AB are }A(-5,-1), \text{ and }B(-2, -6)\\
\\
\text{let the coordinate of th point C be (x, y), such that}\\
\\
AC:CB=3:7\\
\\
\text{By the section formula, we know that if P(x,y) lies on a line segment AB}\\
\text{where, }A(x_1,y_1), \ B(x_2,y_2)\text{ and satisfy the ratio, }AP:PB=m:n, \text{ then}

P=\left ( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \ \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right ).\\
\\
\text{So using this formula, we get for the given problem}\\
\\
C=\left ( \frac{3(-2)+7(-5)}{3+7}, \ \frac{3(-6)+7(-1)}{3+7} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-6-35}{10}, \ \frac{-18-7}{10} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-41}{10}, \ \frac{-25}{10} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( -4.1, \ -2.5 \right )

Coordinates of the point C is: (-4.1, -2.5)

Plssss help quick i need it for sum important
Vanyuwa [196]

(a) The product of (2x-4)\ and\ (3x^2-x+4)  is calculated to be =6x^3-14x^2+12x-16

(b)The product of (2x-4) \ and\ (3x^2-x+4)\ is not equal to the product of  (4x-2)\ and\ (3x^2-x+4)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>(a)</u>

(2x-4)(3x^2-x+4)\\\\=(2x.3x^2)+(2x.-x)+(2x.4)+(-4.3x^2)+(-4.-x)+(-4.4)\\\\=6x^3-2x^2+8x-12x^2+4x-16\\\\=6x^3-14x^2+12x-16

b)

(4x-2)(3x^2-x+4)\\\\=(4x.3x^2)+(4x.-x)+(4x.4)+(-2.3x^2)+(-2.-x)+(-2.4)\\\\=12x^3-4x^2+16x-6x^2+2x-8\\\\=12x^3-10x^2+18x-8

The product of (2x-4) \ and\ (3x^2-x+4)\ is not equal to the product of  (4x-2)\ and\ (3x^2-x+4)

Two sides of a triangle are equal in length and double the length of the shortest side. The perimeter of the triangle is 36 inch
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Two equal sides = 14.4 inches each

Shortest side = 7.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b + c = 36

a = b

a = 2c

then:

c = a/2

a + a + a/2 = 36

2a + a/2 = 36

4a/2 + a/2 = 36

5a/2 = 36

a = 2*36/5

a = 72/5

a = 14.4

a = 2c

14.4 = 2*c

c = 14.4/2

c = 7.2

a = b

b = 14.4

Check:

14.4 + 14.4 + 7.2 = 36
