Answer:

Z(-0.2, 2.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use section formula when a point, say P, divides any segment ,say AB, internally in the ratio m:n.

[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, y= \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

We have been given the points of segment XY as X at (-2,1) and Y at (4,5) and ratio is 3:7.

(x_1, y_1)=(-2,1)

(x_2, y_2)=(4,5)  

m:n=3:7    

Upon substituting coordinates of our given points in section formula we will get,

[x=\frac{(3*4)+(7*-2)}{3+7}, y= \frac{3*5+7*1}{3+7}]

[x=\frac{12-14}{10}, y= \frac{15+7}{10}]

[x=\frac{-2}{10}, y= \frac{22}{10}]

[x=-0.2, y= 2.2]

Therefore, coordinates of point Z will be (-0.2, 2.2).

lawyer [7]

Answer:

  A' = 6(3t +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the square of the side length, so ...

  A = (3t +1)²

The derivative with respect to t is then

  A' = 2(3t +1)·(3) = 6(3t +1)

If you like, you can multiply out the area expression first, then differentiate.

  A = 9t² +6t +1

  A' = 18t +6

This can be factored, if you like, to ...

  A' = 6(3t +1)

Tems11 [23]

Answer: 36.66min

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 47.38 + 0.617x

where y is the number of dollars

x is the number of minutes on the job

Given a value of y = $70, then

We substitute y = $70 in the equation.

70 = 47.38 + 0.617x

22.62 = 0.617x

X = 22.62/0.617 = 36.66min

At Simba Travel Agency, the price of a climbing trip to Mount Kilimanjaro includes an initial fee plus a constant fee per meter.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: $110


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: At Simba Travel Agency, the price of a climbing trip to Mount Kilimanjaro includes an initial fee plus a constant fee per meter.

F(d)models the fee (in dollars) for climbing d meters.

F(d)=110+0.12d

To find the initial amount, substitute d=0 int the above function, we get

F(0)=110+0.12(0)=110


Hence, the initial fee= $110.
