Answer:

<u>Point C at (-18/7)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at -6 and point B is at 2.

So, the distance between A and B = 2 - (-6) = 8

point C on the directed line segment from A to B on a number line such that the segment is partitioned in a ratio of 3:4.

Let the distance AC = x

∴ BC = 8 - x

AC : CB = 3 : 4

∴\frac{AC}{CB} =\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{8-x}

Using cross multiplication

3 (8-x) = 4x

24 - 3x = 4x

24 = 7x

x = 24/7

So, Point C = -6 + 24/7 = -18/7

Point C at (-18/7)

What is the oblique asymptote of gx) = x2-3x-5?
oee [108]

Answer:

B) y=x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because g(x)=\frac{x^2-3x-5}{x+2} simplifies to x-5+\frac{5}{x+2}, we only care about the quotient, which will be our oblique asymptote equation. Therefore, the oblique asymptote for the function will be y=x-5. See the attached graph for a visual.

Consider the triangle A(4,0), B(-2,4), C(0,6)<br> What will be the equation of the altitude BM?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

BM: <u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> with segment length of 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

AC formula: m = (6-0)/(0-4) = -3/2

(y-0)/(x-4) = -3/2       y = (-3/2)x + 6   ... (1)

BM slope: BM⊥ AC   m = 2/3

BM formula: (y-4) / (x- -2) = (y-4) / (x+2) = 2/3

y-4 = 2/3 x + 4/3

<u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u>   ... (2)    -2≤x≤0.31

intercept of AC and BM (M) from (1) and (2): (-3/2)x + 6 = (2/3) x + 16/3

(13/6) x = 2/3      x = (2/3) / (13/6) = 4/13 ≈ 0.31

y = (2/3) (4/13) + (16/3) = (8/39) + (208/39) = 216/39 = 72/13 ≈ 5.54

M (4/13 , 72/13) or (0.31 , 5.54)

segment BM = √(4/13 - -2)² + (72/13 - 4)² = √1300/169 = 2.77
