Point C divides segment AB so that AC:AB is 3:8. Which statement is NOT true? HELP!

Mathematics

Given:

It is given that

C divides AB so that, AC:AB = 3:8

To find the wrong option among the given options.

Let us take,

AB = 8x unit

AC = 3x unit

So,

CB = 8x-3x

CB = 5x unit

So, we can conclude that,

AC: CB: AB = 3:5:8

Hence,

The wrong option is C i.e, Point C is \frac{3}{5} of way from point A to point B.

If it takes 5 years for an animal population to double, how many years will it take until the population
muminat

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7.92 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find t such that ...

  3 = 2^(t/5)

where 2^(t/5) is the annual multiplier when doubling time is 5 years.

Taking logs, we have ...

  log(3) = (t/5)log(2)

  t = 5·log(3)/log(2) ≈ 7.92 . . . years

It will take about 7.92 years for the population to triple.

use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line that contains the two points (-4,0) and (5,2)​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

\frac{2}{9} x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope using two points you need to find the difference in x and y. You use \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} }

So, 2-0=2 and 5-(-4)=9. Therefore the slope is 2/9x

what is the polynomial function of lowest degree with leading coefficient of 1 and roots 2 and 1 + square root2
Marta_Voda [28]
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and 1+\sqrt2, then we can write it as

(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

(x-2)(x-1-\sqrt2)=x^2-2x-(1+\sqrt2)x+2(1+\sqrt2)=x^2-(3+\sqrt2)x+2+2\sqrt2

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.

So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use 1-\sqrt2 as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))(x-(1-\sqrt2))=x^3-4x^2+3x+2

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.

Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
