Answer:

option : A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4.

Now we need to find that to which point will point P will lie closer to i.e. either to Point A or to Point B.

Since Point P partition the directed line segment AB in the ratio 3:4 that means the The distance of P from A is some 3x for some arbitrary real number 'x'.

and the distance of P from B is '4x'.

Hence P is closest to A as the distance of P from A is shorter as compared to B.

Hence, option A is correct.

Answer:

for quadratic equation 1

y^2-10y+21=0

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2-7y-3y+21=0

y(y-7)-3(y-7)=0

(y-7)(y-3)=0

y-7=0,y-3=0

y=7,y=3

y=(3,7)

for quadratic equation 2

16p^2-8p+1=0

16p^2-4p-4p+1=0

4p(4p-1)-1(4p-1)=0

(4p-1)twice=0

4p-1=0,4p-1=0

4p=1

p=1/4 twice

for quadratic equation 3

x^2-400=0

x^2=400

x=√400

x=20

for quadratic equation 4

-16m^2-8m-1=0

multiply the equation by -

16m^2+8m+1=0

16m^2+4m+4m+1=0

4m(4m+1)1(4m+1)=0

4m+1=0 twice

m=-1/4 twice

for quadratic equation 5

-3n^2+75=0

divide both side by -3

-3n^2/-3=-75/-3

n^2=25

n=√25

n=5

winthrop has $4.40 worth of nickles and dimes. If winthrop has 3.5 times as many nickles as he has dimes, how many dimes does he
Aneli [31]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is number of nickles and d is number of dimes:

5n + 10d = 440

n = 3.5d

Substitute:

5(3.5)d + 10d = 440

17.5d + 10d = 440

27.5d = 440

d = 16
