Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us approach this question geometrically . Number of solutions is the number of meeting points of the two graphs . We can see that the given equations are equations of lines . First equation is 5x - y = 3.

Second equation when divided by two can be written as 5x - y = -1.

We can see that these lines are parallel and therefore doesn't intersect.So no solution.

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(2,3),B(-4,-3) and C(2,-3) find the coordinates of each point of concurrency.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Circumcenter =(-1,0)

Orthocenter =(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Points A = (2,3), B = (-4,-3), C = (2,-3)

Formula used :

→Mid point of two points- $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

→Slope of two points - $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})$

→Perpendicular of a line = $\frac{-1}{slope of line})$

Circumcenter- The point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets.

Orthocenter-The intersecting point for all the altitudes of the triangle.

To find out the circumcenter we have to solve any two bisector equations.

We solve for line AB and AC

So, mid point of AB = $(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)$

Slope of AB = $\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = -1

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) is,

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))

y+x=-1………………(1)

Similarly, for AC

Mid point of AC = $(\frac{2+2}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(2,0)$

Slope of AC = $\frac{-3-3}{2-2}=\frac{-6}{0}$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = 0

Equation of AC with slope 0 and the coordinates (2,0) is,

(y – 0) = 0(x – 2)

y=0 ………………(2)

By solving equation (1) and (2),

put y=0 in equation (1)

y+x=-1

0+x=-1

⇒x=-1

So the circumcenter(P)= (-1,0)

To find the orthocenter we solve the intersections of altitudes.

We solve for line AB and BC

So, mid point of AB = $(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)$

Slope of AB = $\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of CF = -1

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) gives equation CF

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))

y+x=-1………………(3)

Similarly, mid point of BC = $(\frac{-4+2}{2},\frac{-3-3}{2})=(-1,-3)$

Slope of AB = $\frac{-3+3}{-4-2}=0$

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

So, the slope of AD = 0

Equation of AB with slope 0 and the coordinates (-1,-3) gives equation AD

(y-(-3)) = 0(x – (-1))

y+3=0

y=-3………………(4)

Solve equation (3) and (4),

Put y=-3 in equation (3)

y+x=-1

-3+x=-1

x=2

Therefore, orthocenter(O)= (2,-3)

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$70.20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the cost per gallon of the gas.

The person in front bought 15 gals at $40.50. The price of each gallon will therefore be:

40.50 / 15 = $2.70

You need to buy 26 gallons. The cost will be:

26 * 2.70 = $70.20

You will spend $70.20.

Scott and Letitia are brother and sister. After dinner, they have to do the dishes, with one washing and the other drying. They

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green

$P = 2$

$G = 3$

Required

The probability of Scott washing the dishes

If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.

So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

This gives:

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = P(G_1) * P(G_2)$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{n(G)}{Total} * \frac{n(G)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{3-1}{5- 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{2}{4}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{10}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = P(P_1) * P(P_2)$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{n(P)}{Total} * \frac{n(P)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2-1}{5- 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{4}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{1}{10}$

Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement

So, we have:

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

$P(Same) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{3+1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{4}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{2}{5}$

One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg ha

anastassius [24]

Solutions

To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².

Given

One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg has a length of 10x yards.

First leg (24 yards) would be α

Second leg would be β

Hypotenuse (74 yards) would be c

Now we have points α β c.

a² (24) + β² ( x ) = c² (74)

Calculations

c² = α² + β²

74² = 24²+ β²

5476 = 576 + β²

5476 - 576 = β²
 
4900 = β²

→√4900
 
β = 70 yards

70 = 10x

x = 70÷10 = 7 yards

The second leg = 7 yards
