Answer:

The value of k is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio

When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)

According to this formula we find the value of k.

k = a/(a+b)

where a = 5

b = 3

Now plug the values in the formula:

k = 5/(5+3)

k = 5/8 ....

Find the area of the square with a side length of 8 ft.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The area of square is 64ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all sides of a square are equal. So you have to apply the formula for area of square :

$area = length \times width$

$let \: length = 8 \\ let \: width = 8$

$area = 8 \times 8$

$area = 64 \: {ft}^{2}$

The height in feet above the water of a diver can be modeled by ℎ() = −16*2 − 16 + 192, where t is the time in seconds after the

Maurinko [17]

h(t) is the height of the diver in feet above the water

Now it asks about the time at which diver reaches the water

When diver reaches the water , the height of diver from water should be zero

So we plug h(t) =0

$-16t^2 -16 t +192 =0$

divide whole equation by -16

$t^2 +t -12 =0$

we can now factor the quadratic equation

So we get

(t+4)(t-3) =0

plug each factor equal to zero and solve for t

t+4 =0 and t-3 =0

So t=-4 and t=3

Now time cannot be negative , So t=3

So time = 3 seconds

It takes 3 seconds for the diver to reach the water

In which choice do all three points lie on the

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

D (1, 2), (2, 4), (4,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Points lying on the same line:

If three points lie on the same line, the change in y has to be always the same when x changes by 1.

А. (0, 1), (-1, 3), (1, 3)

(-1,3) to (0,1): x changes by 1, y by -2

(0,1) to (1,3): x changes by 1, y by 2

So these points are not on the same line.

B. (4, 2), (2, 1), (4, -2)

Two values for y when x = 4, so not on the same straight line.

C (0, 0), (8, 0), (0, 8)

Two values for y when x = 0, so not on the same straight line.

D (1, 2), (2, 4), (4,8)

Here, when x changed by 1(from 1 to 2), y changed by 2.

When x changed by 2(from 2 to 4), y changed by 2*2 = 4.

So these points are on a straight line, and D is the correct answer.
