What are the coordinates of point B on \overline{AC} such that AB = 1/2 BC

marta [7]

Answer:

C. $B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $A(x,y) = (6,-7)$ , $B(x,y) = (x,y)$ and $C(x,y) = (-3,-2)$ . From statement we know that $AB = \frac{1}{2}\cdot BC$ , which is equivalent to the following linear algebraic formula:

$B(x,y) -A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [C(x,y)-B(x,y)]$ (1)

$B(x,y)-A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot B(x,y)$

$\frac{3}{2}\cdot B(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)+A(x,y)$

$B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot C(x,y) +\frac{2}{3}\cdot A(x,y)$ (2)

Then, the coordinates of point B on AC are:

$B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-3,-2)+\frac{2}{3}\cdot (6,-7)$

$B(x,y) = \left(-1, -\frac{2}{3}\right)+\left(4, -\frac{14}{3} \right)$

$B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)$

Which means that correct answer is C.

The value of a new truck decreases exponentially at a rate of 4.8% per year. If the purchase price of the new cars $42,000, how

Usimov [2.4K]

The worth of the car after it is paid off 5 years later given the rate of exponential depreciation is $32,842.34.

<h3>What is the worth of the car?</h3>

When the car declines in value, it means that the car is depreciating. The formula that can be used to determine the value of the car with the depreciationn rate is:

FV = P (1 - r)^n
