Answer:

Point B = (53, -25)  satisfies the required condition

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that point A is in the second quadrant and point C in the fourth quadrant, and the separation between them in the x-direction is given by:

| 5 - (-7) | = 12  

while their separation in the y-direction is:  

| -1 -5 | = 6

That means that point C is twelve units to the right and 6 units down from point A. In order to create a segment with another point aligned with them and which has 5 times the length of AC, we then need to consider adding to the x-coordinate of point C 4 times 12 units = 48 units to obtain the x-coordinate of the new point B, and go down 4 times 6 units = 24 units to the y-coordinate of point C.

This is: B = (5+48, -1-24) = (53, -25)

We can verify our procedure by estimating the length of the segment AB and that of segment AC and checking that the first one is indeed 5 times that of AC:

|AB| =\sqrt{(53-(-7))^2+(-25-5)^2} = \sqrt{3600+900} =\sqrt{4500} =\sqrt{2^2\,3^2\,5^3} =5\,\sqrt{180}

|AC| =\sqrt{(5-(-7))^2+(-1-5)^2} = \sqrt{144+36} =\sqrt{180}

Therefore this new point B is indeed giving as a segment of the desired length.

Answer:

C.) sin(11pi/6)

Step-by-step explanation:

construct triangle with a side perpendicular to x-axis

y=(-1)sin(pi/6)

y=sin(-pi/6)

y=sin((-pi/6)+2pi)

y=sin(11pi/6)

Solve the equation <br> -10 + 3x + 5x = -56 ? ??
Xelga [282]
Add like terms on the same side:
-10 + 8x = -56
Add ten to both sides
-10 + 8x + 10 = -56 +10
Simplify:
8x = -46
Divide both side by 8
8x/8 = -46/8
Simplify
x = - 5.75
The answer is x = -5.75
(The answer can also be written as -23/4 or -5 3/4)

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The method of separation is chromatography.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a drawing of a circle made in the center of a piece of paper with a black marker gets wet, the marker bleeds, and as the water moves through the paper the ink separates into several colors. Here, the method of  separation used is chromatography. It is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture. When water or dye passes through a medium and changes color, then that means chromatography is used there.
