Answer:

B ( 5 , 3/4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

We are given two points in the cartesian coordinate system as:

                    A ( -5 , 2 )              C ( 11, 0 )

The point B lies on the line segment from A to C. The ratio of segment given is:

                               AB / BC = 5 / 3

To solve such type of problems. We will use vector equation of line AC.

To form a vector equation of line representing AC. We will first determine the direction vector ( d ) that is parallel to the line AC as follows:

                  d = OC - OA

                  d = < 11, 0 > - < -5,2 >

                  d = < 16 , -2 >

The fixed point on the line is taken. We will take point A. The vector equation of line from point A to point C is expressed as:

                 < x , y > = OA + t*d

                 < x , y > = < -5, 2 > + t* < 16 , - 2 >  

The above equation satisfies all the points that lies on the line AC. To determine the coordinates of ( B ). We will plug in the appropriate value of parameter ( t ) and evaluate. We are given the ratio 5:3.

So point B is 5/8 th the magnitude of the distance AC from A. Hence, t = 5/8 as follows:

                < x , y > = < -5 , 2 > + ( 5/8 ) * < 16 , -2 >

                < x , y > = < -5 , 2 > + < 10 , -5/4 >

                < x , y > = < 5 , 3/4 >   ... Answer

The petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are 1,483 feet tall. The key tower in Cleveland, Ohio, is 947 feet tall how is th
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: 5.36*10^2\ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the "Difference" is the result of a subtraction.

It is important to remember that Scientific Notation is in the following form:

a*10^b

Where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 ( but not including 10) and "b" is an Integer.

In this case, according to the information given in the exercise, you know that the Petronas towers are 1,483 feet tall and the Key tower is 947 feet tall.

Then, the diffrence between the heights  of those towers can be find by subtracting them. So, this is:

1,483\ feet-947\ feet =536\ feet

In order to write the difference calculated above in Scientific notation, the Decimal point must be after the first digit; then you must move the Decimal point two places to the left. Therefore, you get that this is:

=5.36*10^2\ feet
