Find out if the 3 positions are on the same line or not (3,2,0) (1, -1,2) (5,5, 2)

Answer:

The three positions are not on the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three points: A:(3,2,0),  B:(1,-1,2) and C:(5,5,2).

Let's build a vector that goes from one point to another; that vector will be the director of a line (if we draw a vector that goes from A to B, that vector will be the direction of the line that pass by A and B because it does not change). In order to build that vector, let's subtract B from A:

A-B=(3,2,0)-(1,-1,2)=(2,3,-2)

The equation of a line is:

p=p_0+rt

Where p is every singular point of the line, p_0 is a particular point of the line (any that we are sure that it is on the line), r is the director vector and t is the independent variable.

Now we have the director vector: (2,3,-2), and we can verify that A and B are on the line:

p=p_0+(2,3,-2)t

Because there is a value for t that satisfies both A and B: If we do p_0=(3,2,0) and t=0, we are going to obtain the point p=A; and if we do t=-1, we are going to obtain p=B. Let's see that:

p=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)*0=(3,2,0)\\p=A\\p=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)*-1=(1,-1,2)\\p=B\\

If C is also in the same line, C must accomplish the equation: p=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)t, so:

C=(5,5,2)=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)t

Let's simplify the equation writing the parametric equation, which is just to write the equation for each dimension:

5=3+2t\\5=2-3t\\2=-2t\\

You can verify that there is not a value of t that satisfies all three equations, so, the point C is not on the same line as A and B; which means that A, B and C are not on the same line.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that \angle 1 \cong \angle 5 by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like \angle 1 and \angle 5.

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, \angle 3 and \angle 1 are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that \angle 3 and \angle 1 together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°

If we substitute \angle 5 for \angle 1, we have m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°, which means that \angle 3 and \angle 5 are also supplementary by definition.

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression (sinx)/(1 + sinx) ?. A.1/(cscx + sinx). B
Alex73 [517]
We are given with the function <span>(sinx)/(1 + sinx). To simplify the equation, we multiply the denominator with its conjugate. Hence the expression becomes (</span>sinx)(1-sin x )/(1 + <span>sinx)(1-sin x). Then we convert the expression into </span>(<span>sinx)(1-sin x )/ cos^2 x. Using trigonometric functions, we can then simplify the expression.</span>

Please Help Me! I need to pass.
Andru [333]
42 is the answer

Explanation:
50% of 80 is half of 80 which is 40

Then you would add 40 with 5% of 40

What you would do then is 5% times 40 then you would change the 5% into a decimal which is 0.05 and multiply it by 40 , which would get u 2

Then you would add the price with tax
40+2 = 42
