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.

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^x that goes through points (0,7) and (5,1701).
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

y = 7 3^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given ordered pairs to find a and b

Using (0, 7 ), then

7 = a b^{0} ( b^{0} = 1 ), thus

a = 7

y = 7 b^{x}

Using (5, 1701 )

1701 = 7 b^{5} ( divide both sides by 7 )

243 = b^{5} ( take the fifth root of both sides )

b = \sqrt[5]{243} = 3 , thus

y = 7 3^{x}

A shop is having a sale all items are reduced work out the sale price of an item normally priced at £60
Naddik [55]

Question:

A shop is having a sales all items are reduced by 25%. Work out the sale price of an item normally priced at £60?

Answer:

The new price is £45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sales\ price = \pounds 60

Rate = 25\%

First, calculate the reduction

Reduction = Rate * Sales\ price

Reduction = 25\% * \pounds 60

Reduction = \pounds 15

The new price is:

New = Sales\ price - Reduction

New = \pounds 60 - \pounds 15

New = \pounds 45
