Answer:

$\overline{QT}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the coordinates of a certain point C(x,y) such that C divides $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ in the ratio m:n=3:2

The x-coordinate is given by:

$x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}$

The y-coordinate is given by:

$y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}$

AB has coordinates A(-5,9) and B(7,- 7)

We substitute the values to get:

$x=\frac{3*7+2*-5}{3+2}$

$x=\frac{21-10}{5}$

$x=\frac{11}{5}$

and

$y=\frac{3*-7+2*9}{3+2}$

$y=\frac{-21+18}{5}$

$y=-\frac{3}{5}$

Therefore C has coordinates $(\frac{11}{5},-\frac{3}{5})$

The line segment that contains C is $\overline{QT}$

Answer:3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 of the staff are male. The entire staff is represented by the fraction 8/8. Taking 5/8 from this, what we have left is

8/8-5/8 = 3/8 of the staff are female.

Write a conditional statement. Write the converse, inverse and contrapositive for your statement and determine the truth value o

photoshop1234 [79]

A conditional statement involves 2 propositions, p and q. The conditional statement, is a proposition which we write as: p⇒q,

and read "if p then q"

Let p be the proposition: Triangle ABC is a right triangle with m(C)=90°.

Let q be the proposition: The sides of triangle ABC are such that

$|AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2$ .

An example of a conditional statement is : p⇒q, that is:

if Triangle ABC is a right triangle with m(C)=90° then The sides of triangle ABC are such that $|AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2$

This compound proposition (compound because we formed it using 2 other propositions) is true. So the truth value is True,

the converse, inverse and contrapositive of p⇒q are defined as follows:

converse: q⇒p
inverse: ¬p⇒¬q (if [not p] then [not q])
contrapositive: ¬q⇒¬p

Converse of our statement:

if The sides of triangle ABC are such that $|AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2$
then Triangle ABC is a right triangle with m(C)=90°

True

Inverse of the statement:

if Triangle ABC is not a right triangle with m(C) not =90° then The sides of triangle ABC are not such that $|AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2$

True

Contrapositive statement:

if The sides of triangle ABC are not such that $|AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2$ then Triangle ABC is not a right triangle with m(C)=90°

True
