Serjik [45]

Answer:

(-2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you want a 1 to 7 ratio, you want to divide the line into 2 parts, where one part has a length of 1 and the other has a length of 7. So the total length of the line is 8.

Start by looking at the difference in the X and Y coordinates.

X = | -4 - 12 | = | -16 | = 16

Y = | 7 - -1 | = | 8 | = 8

You could calculate the length of the line using pythagorian's theorem, but that's not needed. Simply use similar triangles. We have a right triangle with legs of length 16 and length 8. We want a similar triangle that is 1/8th as large (to get the desired 1 to 7 ratio). So divide both legs by 8, getting lengths of 16/8 = 2, and 8/8 = 1.

Now add those calculated offsets to point A.

A has an X coordinate of -4 and B has an X coordinate of 12 and the X coordinate for C must be between those limits. So calculate -4 + 2 = -2 to get the X coordinate for C.

The Y coordinate of A is 7 and the Y coordinate of B is -1. And since the Y coordinate must be between then, you have 7 - 1 = 6.

So the coordinates for C is (-2, 6)

Help pleaseeee!!!! Geometry

Tan x=opposite/adjacent
cot x=adjacent/opposite

so you need to inverse the fraction
tan x=.78 as a fraction is 78/100
-> inversed= 100/78=1.28=cot x

so it is the second option

Use technology or a z-score table to answer the question.
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

D. 100

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the z-score: 165-176/11.4 = -1.2

2. Find the percentage of the z-score. Here it's 16.85%

3. Because we are searching for the amount of members that weigh MORE than 165 pounds and not LESS, we need to find the greater percentage by subtracting 16.85% from 100% which is 83.15%. This is the percentage of people that weigh more than 165 pounds.

4. Multiply the percentage by the number of members: 83.15%*120 = 99.78

5. Round it to a whole number because someone can't be 0.78 of a person. You get 100 members.

Also, I took the test :)
