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)

Answer:

f(-1) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached graph

Required

f(-1)

This is the point where

x = -1

On the attached graph;

f(x) = -2 when x = -1

Hence:

f(-1) = -2

Plzzzzzz helppppp asappppp <br> ****will mark brainliest ****

ΔABC is a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle. The pattern of its sides is as follows:

Each leg = 1 unit (and both legs are that way, since the triangle is isosceles - so two sides are the same)

Hypotenuse = √2 units.

So if we know either leg, we multiply by √2 to get the hypotenuse. In reverse, we divide by √2 if we know the hypotenuse to get the measurement of a leg.

Our problem tells us that the hypotenuse AC is 10 units. We divide 10 by √2 to get the measurement of leg AB. Since it's a 45 -45 - 90 triangle, AB = BC.

AB = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2}} to rationalize the radical

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2} = 5\sqrt{2}

Thus, each leg is 5\sqrt{2} [/tex].

Explain how to compare two lengths that are measured in different sized units
nalin [4]
There are conversion tables everywhere that assist you in changing a different unit into another. Depending on what it is, you can also compare weight into water, cm into m and backwards.

17. Evaluate a. 6! b. 8P5 c. 12C4
Andreyy89
The factorial ! just means we multiply by every natural number less that the value so
6! =6×5×4×3×2×1= 720

for permutations we use the formula n!/(n-r)!
so we have 8!/(8-5)!=8!/3!=8×7×6×5×4

for combinations s we have n!/(n-r)!r!
so we have 12!/(12-4)!4!=12!/8!4!=12×11×10×9/4×3×2=11×10×9/2=99×5
