Answer:

Part 1) E(-2,-1), G(1,0)  

Part 2) slope EG is equal to slope BC (EG is parallel to BC)

Part 3)  EG=(1/2)BC

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

B(-3,1), C(3,3),D(-1,-3)

Step 1

Find the midsegment (EG) ̅ that is parallel to side (BC)

Find the x-coordinate of point E

Ex=\frac{Bx+Dx}{2}

substitute

Ex=\frac{-3-1}{2}=-2

Find the y-coordinate of point E

Ey=\frac{By+Dy}{2}

substitute

Ey=\frac{1-3}{2}=-1

the coordinates of point E are E(-2,-1)

Find the x-coordinate of point G

Gx=\frac{Cx+Dx}{2}

substitute

Gx=\frac{3-1}{2}=1

Find the y-coordinate of point G

Gy=\frac{Cy+Dy}{2}

substitute

Gy=\frac{3-3}{2}=0

the coordinates of point G are G(1,0)

Step 2

Verifying EG is parallel to BC

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

<u>Find the slope EG </u>

we have

E(-2,-1),G(1,0)  

Substitute the values

mEG=\frac{0+1}{1+2}

mEG=\frac{1}{3}

<u>Find the slope BC </u>

we have

B(-3,1), C(3,3)

Substitute the values

mBC=\frac{3-1}{3+3}

mBC=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

therefore

mEG=mBC -------> EG is parallel to BC

Step 3

Verifying EG=(1/2)BC

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

<u>Find the distance EG</u>

E(-2,-1),G(1,0)  

Substitute the values

dEG=\sqrt{(0+1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}

dEG=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

dEG=\sqrt{10}\ units

<u>Find the distance BC</u>

B(-3,1), C(3,3)

Substitute the values

dBC=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2}+(3+3)^{2}}

dBC=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(6)^{2}}

dBC=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}\ units

Verifying

EG=(1/2)BC

substitute the values

\sqrt{10}=(1/2)2\sqrt{10}

\sqrt{10}=\sqrt{10} -------> is true

therefore

EG=(1/2)BC

Consider that your profit-maximizing quantity of 500 can be produced at an average cost per unit of $9 and sold for a market pri
timama [110]

Based on the quantity sold and the price, the profit per unit is <u>$5</u> and the total profit is<u> $2,500</u>

The profit made from each unit sold can be found as:

<em>= Market price - Average cost </em>

= 14 - 9

= $5

The total profit would therefore be:

<em>= Profit per unit x Number of units sold </em>

= 5 x 500

= $2,500

In conclusion, the profit per unit is $5 and the total profit is $2,500
